SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups With 10 berths across 5 cabins, this 2019 Dufour is ideal for larger families or friend groups wanting to split costs on a Sardinian sailing holiday. The layout makes it genuinely practical for two or three couples traveling together from abroad.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting solid modern conveniences here—electric winches and toilets, a chart plotter, solar panels, and a swimming platform make this a comfortable, low-stress boat. The teak cockpit and barbecue add a touch of quality for al fresco entertaining.

Fair value, with caveats The €3,500 deposit is reasonable, and the spec feels genuine for a 2019 boat this size. However, the operator's 3.3/5 rating (from 19 reviews) is a soft spot—it suggests inconsistent service or maintenance standards that could impact your experience once you're on the water in Sardinia.

Check the reviews closely Before committing, dig into those operator ratings to understand what's gone wrong for previous charterers. Given you're flying long-haul to Sardinia, you want confidence that the boat and support will be reliable, not a mixed bag.

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