Cabin charter (book a single cabin) is not offered for this yacht.

Who This Suits. Altamira works brilliantly for larger groups or families wanting space without complexity; six cabins sleep 12 comfortably, so you're not cramped even with friends or extended family aboard. The 2020 build means modern systems and minimal mechanical worry, which matters when you've flown 6+ hours to get here.

What Stands Out. The Dufour 560 Grand Large is a genuinely roomy cruiser with a proven design; you get proper cabin privacy, a functional galley, and enough deck space that people aren't tripping over each other. Based in Lefkas, you're positioned perfectly for the Ionian Islands, which means short hops between anchorages and reliable summer winds.

Value For Money. At EUR 6,050 per week you're paying fairly for a six-cabin yacht in this market; the per-person cost drops significantly with a full crew, making it competitive against smaller boats when you split costs. The EUR 3,500 deposit is reasonable and standard for this size.

One Honest Note. A 12-berth boat assumes you'll fill most bunks to make economic sense; if your actual party is six or fewer, you're paying for unused cabins and empty berths, so check whether a smaller four-cabin yacht might suit your numbers better.

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, Greece. Altamira is operated by MG Yachts.

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Lefkas sits on the west coast of Lefkada, positioning you perfectly for week one exploration of the Ionian Islands; you can reach Meganisi, Scorpios, and Nidri across the channel within an hour, then push south toward Kefalonia and Ithaka. The protected waters and light northerly winds typical in summer make this an ideal launch point for less experienced sailors, while stronger crews can venture further south toward Zakynthos or explore the intricate anchorages around Paxi to the north. The marina itself offers good facilities and a reliable base for provisioning before heading into the Ionian's quieter anchorages and fjord-like inlets.

Licences: Bareboat skipper licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, or equivalent) and VHF licence are required, plus a co-skipper or second crew member with a sailing CV. Greek authorities check both at the marina.

Can Altamira be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Altamira 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 Altamira?

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.

Bareboat or skippered — which suits our crew?

Bareboat is for crews with at least one experienced skipper (RYA Day Skipper / ICC level) plus a co-skipper, and a track record of similar passages. Skippered charters add a professional skipper for typically £150–£250 per day — recommended if anyone in your group is light on Mediterranean experience, if you want a relaxed week without responsibility, or if the area is new to you. You can also hire a hostess (cook + cabin help) on top.

Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?

Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it — spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.

Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?

Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.

What happens if there's bad weather on the day?

For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst — the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.

Can I hold this yacht while I decide?

Yes — an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
