Ideal for larger groups The Dufour 470 suits extended family trips or friend groups of 6-9 people who want genuine sailing comfort without squeezing into tight quarters. Five cabins and nine berths give everyone reasonable personal space on a modern, well-equipped 2025 boat.

Solid practical features This yacht ticks the right boxes: electric toilet, fridge, chart plotter, and a swimming platform make coastal cruising straightforward. The hydraulic gangway is genuinely useful when anchoring in Sardinia's shallow bays, and the cockpit barbecue adds a nice social element for evening meals.

Reasonable value proposition A new Dufour 470 with this specification and deposit level sits fairly in the mid-range for Mediterranean sailing—neither budget nor premium. You're paying for a newer build year and practical systems rather than ultra-luxury extras.

Operator concern worth noting The 3.3/5 rating across 19 reviews is below ideal—worth reading those reviews carefully before committing. Given you're flying long-haul to Sardinia, you'll want confidence in the charter company's communication, boat condition on arrival, and support responsiveness. I'd recommend contacting Yachting in Sardinia directly to understand what those lower ratings reflect.

The marina & destination

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

Str. Panoramica Costa Smeralda Km0,100

Can ALYSS be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter ALYSS 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 ALYSS?

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.
