Perfect for groups. The Dufour 470 Aruba sleeps 11 across five cabins, making it an excellent choice for families or friend groups wanting to share costs on a longer voyage. You'll have genuine privacy with multiple sleeping arrangements rather than everyone bunking in a couple of cabins.

Well-equipped modern boat. This 2022 model punches above its weight with solar panels, bow thruster, air conditioning, and autopilot—essentials that reduce fatigue on longer passages and keep everyone comfortable. The sprayhood and chart plotter in the cockpit are genuinely useful additions for cruising, not just luxury extras.

Strong operator backing. Vernicos Yachts carries a 4.9/5 rating across 17 reviews, which suggests reliable turnarounds and decent support if you need assistance during your charter. That's the kind of track record that matters when you're flying long-haul to collect a boat.

One practical note: We don't have the base location listed here, which matters—check where Vernicos operates this boat, as airport transfer times and local sailing conditions vary wildly across regions. Once you know the base, you'll have a clearer picture of whether the 11-berth layout actually works for your specific trip.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. ARUBA is operated by Vernicos Yachts.

Poseidonos Avenue

Can ARUBA be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter ARUBA 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 ARUBA?

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.
