The 3 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 412 GL was built in 2018 and it is docked in Tortola, British Virgin Islands. 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: bvi cruising tax, essentials pack, handling fees, national parks permit, search & sea rescue, starter pack, final cleaning. 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. Choose it for short hops or swim stops where boarding access, seating and deck storage matter more than sail handling.
The British Virgin Islands from Tortola
The BVI are line-of-sight sailing: steady trades and short hops down the sheltered Sir Francis Drake Channel, with a mooring ball rather than the anchor at most stops. Tortola’s Beef Island Airport (EIS) is a 20–30-minute road transfer. The first afternoon is a short shakedown run across to Norman or Peter Island, straightforward in the usual steady trades. The loop then works Cooper Island, the Baths on Virgin Gorda and the Bitter End, the park moorings taken first-come, so reach each bay early and keep the last leg an easy downwind run back up the channel. Anegada, low and reef-ringed with a careful eyeball approach in, is the one offshore leg, better added when there are days to spare beyond the week.
