Perfect for larger groups With 5 cabins sleeping 12, ARTEMIDE is built for family gatherings or friends wanting their own space, ideal if you're chartering with extended crew and flying in from abroad. The 2022 build means everything is modern and reliable, which matters when you're travelling long-haul to Sicily.

Well-equipped modern boat Electric winches, water maker, ice maker, and radar are serious comfort upgrades that make a real difference on longer passages or multi-week charters. The sprayhood and cockpit cushions show someone's thought about liveability, not just bare-bones sailing.

Reasonable value proposition A newer 16.4m Dufour with this spec and cabin count typically sits at a fair price point for Mediterranean sailing, you're not paying premium rates for a boutique boat, but getting genuine 2022 quality. The €5,000 deposit is standard and reasonable.

One fair caveat The operator has only one review recorded, so there's limited track record to assess reliability, communication, or how they handle pre-charter briefings and post-charter issues. Before committing, I'd recommend reaching out directly with specific questions about their experience with international charterers and base logistics from Palermo or Catania airports.

The marina & destination

Based at Capo d'Orlando Marina, in Capo d'Orlando, Italy. ARTEMIDE is operated by Invictus Sicily.

Contrada S. Gregorio

Why this is a great starting point

Capo d'Orlando Marina sits on Sicily's north coast, offering immediate access to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands; week one typically involves motor-sailing or light reaching to Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with the prevailing northwesterlies allowing comfortable passages of 15-25 nautical miles between anchorages. The marina provides a practical base for exploring protected anchorages around Panarea and Stromboli before returning westward along the Sicilian coast toward the Cefalù area, giving you a mix of overnight anchorages, small harbors, and volcanic scenery without long open-water passages.

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