OWNER'S VERSION, A/C, GENERATOR, ELECTRIC WINCH, BOWTHRUSTER,OUTBOARD INCLUDED, BBQ

Perfect for families The Dufour 530 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with extended family or friends, four cabins sleeping seven give you flexibility without cramped quarters. At 16.4 metres, she's spacious enough to feel comfortable for a week but still manageable for mixed sailing experience levels.

Standout kit onboard This 2021 build is genuinely well-equipped: water maker and generator mean you'll have independence at anchor, solar panels reduce fuel burn, and the bow thruster makes tight anchorages stress-free. Lazy jack and bag systems simplify sail handling, which matters when you've got non-sailors in the crew.

Solid value proposition At €6,800 per week through a five-star operator (Istion Yachting), you're paying fairly for a modern, properly-maintained yacht with genuine cruising comfort. The zero deposit is also refreshingly straightforward, no surprise financial friction before you leave.

One minor consideration The charter base location isn't specified in your data, so check exactly where you'll pick up and how that aligns with your flight routing. Istion operates from several Greek bases, so confirm the specific location and whether international airport transfers work with your travel schedule.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Dimpa is operated by Istion Yachting.

Poseidonos Avenue

Why this is a great starting point

Alimos Marina sits just south of Athens, offering straightforward access to the Saronic Gulf's island-hopping routes; week one typically involves sailing to nearby Aegina, Poros, and Hydra, with predictable northerly winds in summer making these 15-30 nautical mile passages reliable for mixed-ability crews. The protected anchorages and short hops suit charter clients recovering from long-haul flights, while the marina's proximity to Athens airport (30 minutes by car) minimizes transfer time. Alimos itself has full facilities and is a logical base for exploring the sheltered Saronic islands before pushing further south toward the Peloponnese if conditions allow.

Can Dimpa be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Dimpa 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 Dimpa?

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.
