Perfect for groups This 2020 Dufour 460 sleeps up to 10 across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friend groups who want to share costs and enjoy sailing together. The layout works well for mixed-ability crews since you've got space for everyone to find their own rhythm.

Smart, modern features Solar panels and an inverter mean you'll reduce generator running time and stay comfortable offshore, while the bow thruster takes stress out of tight anchorages and marina arrivals. The sprayhood and chart plotter in the cockpit are practical touches that make longer days at sea more pleasant and navigating more straightforward.

Solid value proposition At a 4.8/5 rating from nine reviews, JF Yachts clearly maintains this boat well, and the €3,000 deposit is reasonable for a modern, well-equipped yacht of this size. You're getting a 2020 model with active cruising features rather than just a bare-bones platform.

One practical note: With ten berths, cabin comfort depends on how you distribute guests, some bunks will inevitably be tighter than others. Confirm the cabin configuration with JF Yachts before booking if you have any guests who need more spacious sleeping arrangements.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Despoina is operated by JF 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 Despoina be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Despoina 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 Despoina?

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.
