About this yacht
AIR CONDITIONING (shore power), BBQ IN COCKPIT
SailChecker Expert View

Great family cruiser The Dufour 430 is ideal for families or groups of up to 8 wanting a comfortable, manageable sailing experience without feeling cramped. At 12.5m with four cabins and solid equipment, it strikes a good balance between space and ease of handling.

Well-equipped package This boat comes with genuinely useful extras, air conditioning, heating, autopilot, bow thruster, and a chart plotter make life easier, especially for less experienced crews. The cockpit setup (speakers, barbecue, bimini, cushions) suggests a boat set up for relaxed cruising rather than racing.

Solid value proposition At around €2,010 per week from a highly-rated operator, you're getting a modern (2019), fully-equipped family boat without paying premium prices. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable and typical for this size and spec.

One practical note The listing doesn't specify which base this yacht operates from, so you'll need to confirm the location before booking, that'll affect your flight routing from the UK, US, or Europe and how much transfer time you need to factor in.

The marina & destination

Based at Tehnomont Marina Veruda, in Pula, Croatia. Levan is operated by Eol Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Tehnomont Marina Veruda sits at the southern tip of the Istrian Peninsula, offering straightforward access to the protected waters of the northern Adriatic and the Brioni Islands archipelago. Week 1 charters typically explore the Brioni chain northward toward Rovinj and Novigrad, with steady afternoon breezes and short hops between secluded anchorages; southbound options extend toward the Limski Channel's dramatic limestone cliffs. The marina's location minimises your passage time, allowing more days spent anchored rather than transiting.

Frequently asked questions
Can Levan be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Levan 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 Levan?
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.
