SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for larger groups This 2022 Dufour 470 suits families or friend groups of up to 11 people who want comfortable, modern sailing without breaking the bank. With five cabins and solid equipment, it's a genuinely practical choice for international crews who value space and easy handling.

Well-equipped modern boat The standout features here are the electric winches, bow thruster, and air conditioning—all things that make sailing more relaxed, especially in warm climates. Solar panels and an electric toilet add a nice touch of contemporary convenience that older boats simply don't offer.

Strong value proposition At €4,350 per week, you're getting a newer boat with premium comfort features at a reasonable rate; the operator's 4.6/5 rating across 14 reviews suggests consistent, reliable service. The modest €500 deposit is reassuring for international renters.

One practical note The charter base location isn't specified in the listing, which matters when you're flying in from abroad—I'd confirm airport proximity and transfer logistics directly with Fyly Yachting before booking. That said, their strong rating suggests they're experienced at supporting international clients.

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