Perfect family cruiser The Dufour 450 Grand Large is an excellent choice for families or small groups wanting a comfortable, well-equipped sailing yacht without the learning curve of a racing boat. With four cabins and space for eight, it strikes a practical balance between privacy and value, ideal if you're splitting costs among friends or taking the extended family away.

Thoughtful cruising kit This boat comes genuinely well-prepared: lazy bag and lazy jack mean less wrestling with sails, autopilot handles the steering on longer passages, and the bimini plus sprayhood keep you protected from Atlantic or Mediterranean weather. Solar panels, inverter, and electric toilet signal someone's thought about comfort, while the swimming platform and dinghy included are real bonuses that often cost extra elsewhere.

Strong value proposition At €2,700 per week from a 4.2-rated operator with a modest €800 deposit, this represents solid mid-range pricing for a 13.5-metre yacht in 2015 condition. You're not paying for gloss, but you're getting a boat that actual charterers have trusted, that matters more than a new hull with unknown quirks.

One honest note The operator's five-review rating suggests a smaller base, which can mean fewer backup boats if issues arise and potentially less competitive pricing if you shop around. I'd recommend confirming availability and asking directly about their typical turnaround and support during your charter week.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Maroussa is operated by Paralos Yachts.

Poseidonos Avenue

Why this is a great starting point

Alimos Marina sits just south of Athens, offering straightforward access to the Saronic Gulf's island-hopping routes; week one typically involves sailing to nearby Aegina, Poros, and Hydra, with predictable northerly winds in summer making these 15-30 nautical mile passages reliable for mixed-ability crews. The protected anchorages and short hops suit charter clients recovering from long-haul flights, while the marina's proximity to Athens airport (30 minutes by car) minimizes transfer time. Alimos itself has full facilities and is a logical base for exploring the sheltered Saronic islands before pushing further south toward the Peloponnese if conditions allow.

Can Maroussa be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Maroussa 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 Maroussa?

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.
