Perfect family choice The Dufour 470 is an ideal boat for families or small groups seeking comfort without sacrificing ease of handling. With four cabins sleeping up to 10, it offers flexibility for mixed groups, and the 2022 build year means you're getting modern systems and reliable equipment.

Smart practical features The bow thruster and sprayhood are genuine quality-of-life upgrades for sailing in variable conditions, while solar panels and electric toilet systems keep running costs reasonable and reduce engine reliance. A cockpit chart plotter removes guesswork from navigation, which newer sailors will appreciate.

Solid value proposition At this size and spec, the boat delivers decent comfort and modern conveniences at a sensible charter price point, the €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and JF Yachts' 4.8/5 rating (9 reviews) suggests reliable service and well-maintained vessels. You're paying for genuine build quality with Dufour's reputation backing it.

One practical note The charter base location isn't specified here, so before booking, confirm your international flight logistics and whether JF Yachts offers airport transfers or recommendations, this matters when flying long-haul from the US or Northern Europe. Clarify handover times and whether English-speaking briefings are standard.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Luna is operated by JF Yachts .

East Shore

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Lefkas sits on the west coast of Lefkada, positioning you perfectly for week one exploration of the Ionian Islands; you can reach Meganisi, Scorpios, and Nidri across the channel within an hour, then push south toward Kefalonia and Ithaka. The protected waters and light northerly winds typical in summer make this an ideal launch point for less experienced sailors, while stronger crews can venture further south toward Zakynthos or explore the intricate anchorages around Paxi to the north. The marina itself offers good facilities and a reliable base for provisioning before heading into the Ionian's quieter anchorages and fjord-like inlets.

Can Luna be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Luna 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 Luna?

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.
