SailChecker Expert View

Spacious family option The Dufour 56 Exclusive is ideal for larger groups or multi-generational charters—six cabins and 11 berths mean everyone gets reasonable privacy without cramping. The 2018 build is relatively modern, so you're looking at a well-maintained vessel with up-to-date systems.

Well-equipped for comfort Electric winches and a teak cockpit signal this is designed for relaxed sailing rather than racing, which suits most charter groups perfectly. The generator, inverter, and air conditioning capability (implied by the inverter setup) keep things comfortable in warmer climates, and the bimini and sprayhood protect you from sun and spray.

Good value proposition At this size and age with six cabins, pricing should be competitive—especially if you're splitting costs across multiple families. The €5,000 deposit is reasonable, and Boomerang's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from a small sample) suggests reliable service.

Missing crucial detail Unfortunately, the listing doesn't show the charter base location, which matters enormously for your travel logistics from the US, UK, or Europe. I'd recommend contacting Boomerang directly to confirm where Ipazia is based and factor in airport transfers and flight connections before committing.

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