Perfect for larger groups This 2025 Dufour 48 is genuinely impressive if you're chartering with extended family or friends, 11 berths across 6 cabins means no one's left ashore. The boat's new build status combined with modern conveniences like air conditioning, heating, and a water maker makes longer cruising genuinely comfortable rather than a roughing-it experience.

Well-equipped for real cruising The spec sheet reads like a wishlist: bow thruster for tight anchorages, autopilot for ocean passages, radar and chart plotter for navigation, plus a generator and inverter for reliable power. The swimming platform and teak cockpit suggest the builder understands leisure sailing, not just ticking boxes. You're getting genuine cruising credentials here.

Strong value proposition A €0 deposit is refreshingly honest, and a brand-new Dufour 48 at charter rates beats buying outright by miles. For international clients flying long-haul from the US or Europe, a modern 48-footer with this specification and crew capacity makes the logistics of reaching the charter base worthwhile, you get real bang for your travel effort.

One practical note The base location isn't listed in your details, which matters: depending on where you're actually departing from (Mediterranean, Caribbean, or elsewhere), factor in airport transfer time and whether the operator offers flight coordination. Check with More Sailing directly, that detail will shape your trip planning significantly.

The marina & destination

Based at Mytikas Port, in Preveza, Greece. D48 Luna is operated by More Sailing.

Why this is a great starting point

Mytikas Port in Preveza sits at the entrance to the Ambracian Gulf, giving you direct access to the Ionian islands and the dramatic west coast of mainland Greece. Week 1 typically involves sailing north to Lefkada and the Meganissi group or south towards Zakynthos, with mostly northerly winds suiting both directions; the shallow, protected waters of the gulf itself offer a gentler alternative if you want to build confidence before venturing offshore. The marina's location on Greece's northwest coast means you're well-positioned for either a relaxed island-hopping route or more serious passage sailing depending on conditions.

Can D48 Luna be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter D48 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 D48 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.
