SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for larger groups. With 5 cabins sleeping up to 10, this Dufour 500 is built for families or friends wanting to share costs on a proper sailing adventure—not a floating hotel. The 2014 build means she's well-established in the market with proven reliability.

Spacious and capable. At 15.1m, she offers genuine living space below deck and the Grand Large design prioritizes comfort over racing performance, making her forgiving to sail. You'll get a proper cruising experience without feeling cramped, even with a full complement of guests.

Watch the charter base. I notice the base location isn't specified in your data, so I can't advise on airport transfers or how convenient it is for international travelers—that's crucial for deciding if she suits your logistics. I'd recommend confirming the base location and nearby airport options directly with Emocean Yachting before booking.

Reasonable deposit. At €1,500, the security deposit is standard and manageable, though you'll want to clarify total weekly rates to assess genuine value against comparable 5-cabin options in her region.

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