Solid mid-range cruiser The Dufour 412 Grand Large is a well-equipped 12.7-metre sailing yacht that suits couples and small families wanting comfortable week-long coastal cruising without breaking the bank. At €2,800 per week, it's competitively priced for a three-cabin boat with this specification level.

Standout kit included You're getting genuine convenience features here: bow thruster, autopilot, chart plotter, radar, solar panels, and a sprayhood all come as standard. The swimming platform, bimini, and cockpit cushions signal this boat is set up for relaxed cruising rather than racing, which matches the price point perfectly.

Value-for-money verdict For international charterers flying in from the US or Europe, this represents honest value—you're not paying a premium for a famous name, but you're getting a 2018 boat (not ancient) with thoughtful equipment. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and the 4.2/5 operator rating across five reviews suggests reliable service.

One practical note We don't have the charter base location listed, which matters for flight connections and airport transfers—that's worth confirming with AVeleCazzate before booking. Three cabins for up to eight berths means tighter sleeping arrangements for larger groups, so check the layout matches your crew comfort expectations.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Why not 12 is operated by AVeleCazzate.

Can Why not 12 be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Why not 12 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 Why not 12?

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.
