Solid family choice The Dufour 412 Grand Large is a well-proven cruiser that suits families or small groups wanting comfort without complexity. With three cabins sleeping six and practical features like a sprayhood and dinghy included, you've got everything needed for a relaxed week of sailing.

Well-equipped essentials You get the core kit that matters: chart plotter, radio, refrigerator, and decent speakers for downtime. The 2018 build year means systems are modern and reliable without being cutting-edge, which translates to fewer surprises during your charter.

Reasonable value proposition At this spec and age, pricing should feel fair for a three-cabin boat with solid gear. The €2,600 deposit is moderate, and CS Charter's perfect rating (albeit from limited feedback) suggests straightforward dealings.

One honest note The operator has only one review on record, which isn't quite enough data to fully gauge consistency or how they handle problems. If you're booking, it's worth asking other clients directly or checking independent forums alongside the rating shown here.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di Cagliari, in Cagliari, Italy. Sham is operated by CS Charter .

Via Roma - Molo Dogana

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di Cagliari sits in Sardinia's southeastern corner, making it an ideal launch point for exploring the Maddalena Archipelago and Costa Smeralda to the north; week 1 typically involves 2-3 day passages with reliable northwesterly winds to reach these granite-island groups. The marina also opens access to the southern Sardinian coast and nearby islands like Sant'Antioco, offering protected anchorages and shorter hops suitable for crews adjusting to sailing conditions. Expect moderate summer winds and well-charted waters with good provisioning stops throughout the week.

Can Sham be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Sham bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Sham?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
