Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Built for comfort. The Dufour 520 Grand Large is a genuinely well-equipped cruiser that punches above its weight for a 15.2m yacht, air conditioning, electric winches, bow thruster, and a proper teak cockpit mean you're getting serious comfort without a megayacht price tag. This boat suits mixed-ability crews and families who want modern conveniences without sacrificing sailing performance.
Smart feature set. The sprayhood, bimini, and cockpit cushions turn lounging into a pleasure, while the autopilot and chart plotter handle the navigation legwork on longer passages. A dinghy, holding tank, and inverter are all included, which saves you charter add-on costs that quickly pile up elsewhere.
Solid value proposition. At this spec level with a 2020 build, you're looking at a competitive day rate for a three-cabin boat that actually sleeps eight without anyone feeling cramped, that's genuinely good bang for your euro. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable and suggests honest pricing throughout.
One real consideration: SK-Yachting's base location isn't listed here, so before booking you'll want to confirm airport proximity and flight connections from your home airport; long-haul flyers need to know if you're looking at a 30-minute transfer or a 3-hour drive from the nearest major hub.

Marmaris Yacht Marina sits at the gateway to the Turkish Riviera's most accessible cruising grounds; week one typically covers the Bozburun Peninsula and Greek islands across the Aegean, with reliable summer northerlies (the Etesian wind) pushing you east toward Symi and Rhodes. The marina's central location means you can reach sheltered anchorages in Dalyan, Ekincik, and the Gokova Gulf within day-sail distances, making it ideal if you want immediate access to medieval ruins, pine-backed bays, and established provisioning stops. Charter season runs May to October, with July and August offering steady winds but crowded anchorages; shoulder months provide quieter sailing and easier mooring availability.
