SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for families The Dufour 470 Marco Polo is an excellent choice for larger groups or families wanting comfortable cruising without compromise. With 5 cabins and berths for 10, everyone gets their own sleeping space—a real luxury on week-long charters.
Well-equipped vessel This 2022 boat comes with genuinely useful kit: bow thruster for tight anchorages, solar panels plus generator for reliable power, and creature comforts like a fridge and electric toilet. The swimming platform and bimini keep you entertained and shaded, while autopilot handles the helm on longer passages.
Solid value proposition At around €5,415 per week with only a €3,000 deposit, this represents fair pricing for a modern, spacious cruiser in this size bracket. MG Yachts carries a perfect 5/5 rating, though the sample is small—worth requesting references before booking.
One practical note The base location isn't listed in your data, so confirm transfer logistics from the nearest international airport and whether MG Yachts offers ground support for arriving crews managing jet lag. With a 15-meter yacht, you'll want clear handover procedures and local guidance from day one.

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