The 2 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 37 was built in 2024 and it is docked in Palermo, Italy. The Dufour 37 (2024) can accommodate up to 4 people in 2 cabins and it has 1 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 35 ft / 10,8 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): air condition, stand up paddle (sup) and it’s obligatory extras: final cleaning, stand up paddle surfing (sup), outboard engine. The main sail is half batten. You can check-in from 18:00 h and check-out until 08:00 h.
Why charter this Dufour 37
2 cabins for 4 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 4 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 10,8 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Dufour 37 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 2 cabins. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
The Palermo coast and Ustica
Two very different sails share a base at Palermo: the sheltered gulf shore under Monte Pellegrino, and the exposed hop out to Ustica, a black-lava island and marine reserve with some of the clearest water in the western Med. Palermo Airport (PMO) is a 35–60-minute road transfer, with Trapani (TPS) the longer drive. With the handover done, a cove along the near shore covers the first night while you weigh the forecast for Ustica; the crossing is the leg to save for settled conditions, and the days closer in run between harbour towns rather than anchorages, so keep the last one near base. Cefalù and the north coast are a longer haul, better suited to a trip with a second week than to a single one.
