About this yacht
COMFORT LINE
SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for larger groups This Dufour 460 is built for gatherings of 8, 10 people, making it excellent for extended family trips or friends splitting costs across five cabins. The 2019 build is relatively modern, and the teak cockpit with cushions and barbecue grill suggest a boat set up for relaxed Mediterranean cruising rather than racing.

Smart comfort touches Electric winches and a hydraulic gangway take the sweat out of sailing, while solar panels and an inverter mean you can run the TV and fridge without burning fuel constantly. The swimming platform is a genuine bonus for Sardinian anchoring, and the chart plotter makes navigation straightforward for mixed-ability crews.

Fair value, but check the details At €3,500 deposit for a five-cabin 2019 Dufour, the price sits in the mid-range for Sardinian charters, reasonable without being a bargain. That said, you'll want to confirm the exact weekly rate and what's included (water, fuel, cleaning) before committing, as pricing can vary widely.

Operator rating warrants caution A 3.3/5 from 19 reviews is middling; it suggests some guests have had issues with support, maintenance, or communication. Before booking, reach out to Yachting in Sardinia directly with specific questions about recent boat condition, pre-charter briefing, and 24-hour support, especially important when flying in from abroad.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di Portisco, in Portisco, Italy. Abraxan is operated by Yachting in Sardinia.

Str. Panoramica Costa Smeralda Km0,100

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di Portisco sits on Sardinia's northeast coast and provides excellent access to the Maddalena archipelago, reachable in 15-20 nautical miles on a typical northwesterly breeze. Week 1 charters work well as sheltered day hops between granite-studded islands with good holding in sandy bays, or longer passages south to the Costa Smeralda if conditions favour. The marina itself offers full facilities and lies close enough to Porto Cervo for provisioning, making it a practical base for both relaxed cruising and more ambitious sailing.

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