What you'll pay

Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.

Paid at the base (mandatory)

Tourist tax (9,31 EUR per person per week)
Regulated rate, charged by the marina (not the operator).
€1.33 per person per night mandatory

SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Dufour 44 "Dama" is an excellent choice if you're bringing the whole crew—10 berths across 4 cabins means everyone gets their own space without feeling cramped. It's a proven, modern design (2024 build) that's forgiving enough for mixed-ability sailors yet responsive enough to keep experienced hands engaged.

Modern comforts included You're getting solid kit here: water maker, generator, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi mean you won't feel like you're roughing it between anchorages. The bow thruster takes the stress out of tight mooring situations, and thoughtful touches like the bimini and sprayhood protect you from Atlantic or Mediterranean sun.

Strong value proposition At around €3,153 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this is competitive pricing for a new 44-footer with this spec. Split across a larger group, the per-person cost becomes genuinely attractive compared to land-based holidays.

One consideration The operator has only 3 reviews on record (4.3/5 rating), so it's worth requesting recent client references or photos before committing. That said, NCP-Charter operates the boat actively, which typically means it's well-maintained—just do your homework first.

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