Perfect for families The Dufour 460 is a genuinely popular cruising design, and this 2018 example sleeps ten across four cabins, brilliant for multi-family groups or friends wanting proper private berths rather than squeezing onto settees. The boat's proven track record and sensible layout make it forgiving for mixed experience levels.

Well-equipped cruiser Daiquiri comes with the essentials that matter: water maker and generator mean genuine independence, autopilot saves fatigue on longer passages, and the bow thruster is a real asset when anchoring or tight marina work. Air conditioning, snorkeling kit, and a proper cockpit setup (teak, cushions, Bimini, speakers) suggest this boat is genuinely maintained for charter comfort, not just compliance.

Honest about limitations The charter base location isn't listed here, which is unusual, you'll need to confirm where she's based before booking, as that's your actual arrival point after flying in. The operator has only one review on record, so there's limited feedback history to assess reliability or service consistency.

Strong value proposition At €3000 deposit with this specification and 2018 vintage, the pricing feels fair for a four-cabin family boat with power generation and water-making. Just confirm base location and ask Thrace Yachting directly about their support reputation before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Daiquiri is operated by Thrace Yachting.

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 Daiquiri be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Daiquiri 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 Daiquiri?

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.
