*APA D48 (advance expenses mandatory)

APA: In addition to the charter fee, you will also be asked to pay an APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance). This is given prior to your charter to allow the captain to buy fuel, provision the yacht with food and drink as per your demands, and cover any other expenses relating to the cost of your charter (including fuel for tenders, fuel for generators; berthing dues and other harbour charges away from the yacht’s own berth, including pilotage fees and charges for water and electricity taken from the shore). If the funds are insufficient, they will be integrated during the cruise. At the end of the charter, the captain will produce full accounts of all expenditure. You will either be refunded any money not used or asked to pay any additional costs not covered by the APA.

€2,500 per week optional

Modern family catamaran The Dufour 48 is a 2021 build with impressive modern systems, water maker, generator, air conditioning, and heating mean you'll stay comfortable in most climates. With 4 cabins sleeping 10, it's genuinely well-suited to families or small groups who want to split costs and the responsibility of crewing.

Standout comfort features This boat is seriously well-equipped: teak deck, bimini for shade, cockpit grill, Wi-Fi, and even a stand-up paddleboard included. The autopilot and radar take the stress out of longer passages, and the lazy bag/lazy jack system makes sail handling much easier, important if your crew isn't all experienced sailors.

Value proposition A zero deposit requirement is refreshing, and the 5-star operator rating (from Azmarine) suggests reliable service. For a modern catamaran of this size with this spec, the pricing is competitive for groups or families willing to commit to a longer charter.

One honest note The operator location isn't listed in your data, so we can't comment on airport proximity or how many flying hours you're looking at from your home base. Before booking, confirm the charter base with Azmarine, that detail really matters for long-haul travel logistics from the US or mainland Europe.

The marina & destination

Based at Capo d'Orlando Marina, in Capo d'Orlando, Italy. Jovy is operated by Azmarine.

Contrada S. Gregorio

Why this is a great starting point

Capo d'Orlando Marina sits on Sicily's north coast, offering immediate access to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands; week one typically involves motor-sailing or light reaching to Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with the prevailing northwesterlies allowing comfortable passages of 15-25 nautical miles between anchorages. The marina provides a practical base for exploring protected anchorages around Panarea and Stromboli before returning westward along the Sicilian coast toward the Cefalù area, giving you a mix of overnight anchorages, small harbors, and volcanic scenery without long open-water passages.

Can Jovy be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Jovy 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 Jovy?

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.
