SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This 2022 Dufour 470 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with friends or family — five cabins and ten berths mean everyone gets their own space without cramping the boat. At 14.8 metres, she's spacious enough to feel comfortable but still manageable for a skilled skipper.

Smart modern kit The standout features here are the practical upgrades: solar panels and a bow thruster make life genuinely easier in a Greek charter, while the sprayhood and bimini keep you comfortable in strong sun. The chart plotter, electric toilet, and onboard fridge are all standard expectations met well on a boat this size and age.

Solid value proposition At €4,200 per week you're paying fair market rates for a newer, well-equipped family cruiser in Greece — nothing bargain-basement, but honest pricing. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable and protects both you and the operator.

Worth noting Make sure your skipper has solid experience with a five-cabin layout; larger boats require more confidence in tight anchorages and mooring spots, especially around the Greek islands where space can be tight. Flight connections to Athens or another mainland base are straightforward from the US, UK, and most of Europe.

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