The 3 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 412 GL was built in 2018 and it is docked in Martinique, Caribbean. The Dufour 412 GL (2018) 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: handling fees, starter pack, final cleaning, essentials pack. The main sail is full batten. You can check-in from 17:00 h and check-out until 10:00 h.
Why charter this Dufour 412 GL
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 GL 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.
South from Le Marin along Martinique’s coast
Martinique’s sailing is the sheltered leeward coast, south and west from Le Marin along a shore of turquoise coves and rum distilleries, with Mont Pelée rising to the north. Given daylight and a steady trade after the handover, the gentle first run to Sainte-Anne is straightforward, then on toward Grande Anse d’Arlet and the southern bays, Diamond Rock a landmark offshore; a late finish keeps the first night near Le Marin. Martinique Aimé Césaire Airport (FDF) is a 30–45-minute road transfer. The leeward coast is a week’s sailing in day passages under fifteen miles, the trades on the beam. In a calm spell you can push north to Saint-Pierre under the volcano, or cross to St Lucia, a separate clearance and a more open passage, so weigh the return before going that far. Dominica to the north and St Lucia to the south are open inter-island crossings, better kept for a separate trip.
