Perfect for families The Dufour 530 is an excellent choice for groups of 4–10 people who want comfort without complexity. With four cabins, air conditioning, and modern conveniences like electric toilets and a generator, this 2024 yacht handles family logistics effortlessly, especially on longer charters where people need proper space and amenities.

Standout comfort features Solar panels, inverter, and a decent equipment list mean you're genuinely self-sufficient at anchor—no need to run the generator constantly. The swimming platform, bimini top, and cockpit cushions suggest Fyly Yachting has thought about usability, not just bare sailing credentials.

Solid value proposition At around €4,920 per week, you're paying mid-range money for a brand-new boat with modern systems and decent berth count. For international charterers flying in from the US or further afield, that's reasonable bang for your buck, especially split across a larger group.

One practical note We don't have the charter base location on the listing, which matters for flight connections and transfer time—contact Fyly Yachting directly to confirm where "Ionian Blue" operates, as that'll shape your travel day significantly. The 4.6/5 operator rating is encouraging, though, so they should sort logistics smoothly.

The marina & destination

Based at Preveza Main Port, in Preveza, Greece. Ionian Blue is operated by Fyly Yachting.

Can Ionian Blue be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Ionian Blue 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 Ionian Blue?

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.
