SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples and small groups. This 2025 Dufour 44 suits sailors who want a modern, well-equipped boat without oversizing—three cabins sleep up to eight, so it's ideal for two families or a group of friends who don't mind sharing quarters.

Standout features here. You're getting a brand-new build with serious comfort kit: air conditioning, generator, bow thruster for tight anchorages, radar, and a chart plotter for navigation confidence. The teak deck and cockpit cushions signal this is built for relaxed cruising, while electric winches make sail handling effortless—great if your crew isn't young or super experienced.

Value is solid. At €3,153 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this newer Dufour sits at fair-market rates for a 2025 model with this spec. You're paying for newness and creature comforts rather than premium pricing.

One honest note: The operator has only three reviews at 4.3/5—thin feedback for a charter decision, so request recent client references before booking. Also, the base location isn't listed here; check where she's moored so you can factor in airport transfers and getting to the vessel, since you'll likely be flying in from afar.

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