SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for larger groups The Dufour 520 Grand Large is a solid choice if you're chartering with family or friends—five cabins sleeping up to 10 makes it perfect for splitting costs among multiple couples or a multigenerational crew. The 2020 build year means everything's modern and well-maintained.

Well-equipped and practical This boat ticks the boxes that matter: bow thruster makes tight anchorages and marinas manageable, bimini and sprayhood keep you comfortable in sun and spray, and the inverter lets you run 220V appliances. It's a proper cruising platform rather than a racing machine, which suits relaxed sailing holidays.

Solid value proposition Boomerang's perfect 5-star rating across their fleet is encouraging, and the €4,500 deposit is reasonable for a ten-berth yacht. Pricing isn't listed here, but for a newer, spacious Dufour at a reliable operator, you're typically getting fair market value—especially if you're splitting the weekly rate among five or six people.

One practical note The base location isn't shown in your listing, so you'll want to confirm the charter location—factor in airport transfers and whether it's convenient to your nearest international hub. Once you know the base, you can properly assess flight connections and total logistics for your crew.

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