A more authentic and relaxed way to enjoy Ibiza.

Solid mid-range cruiser The Dufour 455 is a proven family cruiser that suits confident intermediate sailors and small groups wanting a comfortable, manageable boat without breaking the bank. At 13.8 metres with four cabins sleeping eight, it hits the sweet spot for couples or families who don't want to feel cramped.

Practical, well-equipped choice Solar panels and an inverter are genuinely useful additions for longer anchoring stints, you'll have decent power independence without constantly running the engine. The Grand Large version typically offers decent headroom and natural light, making it pleasant for multi-week charters rather than quick weekend getaways.

Excellent value proposition At under €4,000 per week with zero deposit, this represents strong value for a four-cabin boat from a reputable builder. Keep Sailing appears to maintain it sensibly, and you're not paying premium pricing for a trendy name or ultra-modern fit-out.

One honest note: She's 16 years old, so don't expect cutting-edge systems or the slick handling of newer designs, some mechanical quirks are statistically more likely at this age. Before booking, confirm the base location (it's missing from your data) so you can factor in realistic airport transfer times from your home country.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Santa Eulalia, in Santa Eulària des Riu, Spain. Keep Sailing VIII is operated by Keep Sailing.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Santa Eulalia sits on Ibiza's east coast and works well as a charter base for exploring the northern Balearic islands and quieter anchorages along Ibiza's eastern shore. Week 1 typically takes you north to Formentera's sheltered bays, across to Es Vedrà, or along the coast to Sant Antoni and San Antonio's deeper anchorages; the prevailing northeasterly winds and short passages (most under 20 nautical miles) suit mixed experience levels. The marina itself offers reasonable provisioning and straightforward access to both busier nightlife spots and less-crowded anchorages in the Pityusic Islands.

Can Keep Sailing VIII be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Keep Sailing VIII 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 Keep Sailing VIII?

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.
