SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups The Duke of York is a 36-metre motor yacht with 11 cabins sleeping up to 25 guests—ideal if you're bringing extended family or friends for a shared adventure. The zero deposit requirement also makes it appealingly accessible to commit to.
Solid cruising setup You get the essentials: air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a dinghy, stand-up paddle boards, and entertainment via TV. For a 2010 build in the Maldives' warm waters, the equipment list hits the practical marks without flashy additions.
Value angle Chartering a 25-berth vessel in the Maldives typically offers decent per-person economics, especially for larger groups splitting costs. The no-deposit terms sweeten the deal for international parties arranging payments across time zones.
One heads-up At 14 years old, condition and maintenance standards vary considerably year to year—ask the Luxury Yacht Maldives team for recent refurb photos and service records before booking. For a long-haul flight from the UK or US, you'll want confidence the yacht matches current expectations.

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