SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for larger groups. The Princess Leia sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making her ideal for extended families or friends wanting to charter together—rare to find a modern 16m yacht with this sleeping capacity. You'll have the space everyone needs without feeling cramped.

Well-equipped modern cruiser. This 2021 Dufour checks all the boxes: air conditioning throughout, water maker for longer passages, solar panels to reduce generator use, and a bow thruster for easy marina manoeuvres. The autopilot, chart plotter, and snorkeling gear mean you're ready for both sailing and leisure stops.

Honest value question. At this size and age with solid equipment, pricing feels fair—but the operator has only two reviews on file, so you're betting on a smaller platform with less booking history than the major charter companies. That's not necessarily bad, just worth factoring into your decision.

One practical note: Before booking, confirm the charter base location and your nearest international airport connection—Hellenic Yachting suggests a Greek base, but transfer times from major hubs can vary significantly, so check logistics early if you're flying long-haul from the US or northern Europe.

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