About this yacht

SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for groups The Dufour 48 catamaran suits families, friends, or small corporate groups who value space and stability over intimacy. With five cabins sleeping up to 11, you've got genuine flexibility for mixed-age crews or those who simply don't want to feel crowded.

Smart, self-sufficient setup This 2023 build is well-equipped for serious cruising: water maker, solar panels, and generator mean you're genuinely independent at anchor, while the autopilot and twin chart plotters take the strain out of longer passages. The air conditioning and full galley support comfortable living even in warm climates.

Strong value proposition At €5,625 per week from a highly-rated operator, you're paying a fair rate for a modern, roomy catamaran in the Ionian, a spectacular sailing region with manageable logistics from most European hubs. The low deposit (€750) is refreshingly straightforward.

Small caveat worth noting The operator has only two reviews on record, so while their 5/5 rating is encouraging, you're banking on a smaller track record than some alternatives. I'd recommend reaching out directly to confirm availability and get specifics on the mooring location and any local support, always wise with newer operators.

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