The 3 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 412 was built in 2021 and it is docked in Fethiye, Turkey. The Dufour 412 (2021) can accommodate up to 6 people in 3 cabins and it has 2 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 42 ft / 12,7 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): air condition, stand up paddle (sup) and it’s obligatory extras: welcome package, transit log, final cleaning. You can check-in from 16:00 h and check-out until 08:30 h.
Why charter this Dufour 412
3 cabins for 6 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 3 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 12,7 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Dufour 412 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 3 cabins and 2 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
The Gulf of Fethiye and its bays from Fethiye
Fethiye is a proper market town at the foot of the gulf, its cliff carved with Lycian rock tombs and a big town marina to provision from. The nearest bays, Şövalye Island and Boynuz Bükü just inside the gulf, are the natural place to start when the handover leaves daylight; a late finish is easily spent on the town quay right there. Dalaman Airport (DLM) is the nearest gateway, a 45–70-minute road transfer. The route swings south and west to the ruined chapels of Gemiler and the Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz, then round the sheltered inner bays, all short hops on protected water, so a windy afternoon can be sat out and, with the route staying inside the gulf, the last leg back to Fethiye stays short. Carry on east along the exposed Lycian shore to Kalkan and Kaş and the passages open up and lengthen, better saved for a longer charter.
