Perfect cruising platform. The Dufour 460 is a solid mid-sized cruiser that suits families and groups of friends wanting comfort without complexity—four cabins sleep ten, so you've got genuine flexibility for crew rotation or mixed ages. She's built for relaxed sailing rather than racing, which means less fiddling and more time enjoying the Med.

Well-equipped for ease. Bimini and sprayhood keep sun and spray at bay, lazy jack and lazy bag make sail handling genuinely hassle-free (a real quality-of-life feature), and autopilot plus chart plotter take stress out of longer passages. The fridge is a practical touch for provisioning properly without daily shopping runs.

Solid value proposition. At €5,355 per week through Malta Charters, you're looking at under €535 per person for a ten-berth yacht—competitive for this size and spec. The €4,000 deposit is reasonable and suggests the operator runs a straightforward, professional outfit.

One realistic note: Malta is genuinely convenient for European and UK flyers (direct flights, short airport transfers), but she's a 2019 boat without mention of freshwater capacity, engine hours, or recent refits—worth clarifying those details before committing, just to confirm she matches your expectations for a full-week charter.

The marina & destination

Based at Kalkara Marina, in Kalkara, Malta. Gerry is operated by Malta Charters.

Kalkara Wharf

Can Gerry be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Gerry 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 Gerry?

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.
