The 3 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 412 GL was built in 2020 and it is docked in Nassau, Bahamas. The Dufour 412 GL (2020) 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: bahamas foreign charter tax, 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.
How far into the Exumas from Nassau
Nassau is the busy hub of the Bahamas, but turn south-east and the Exumas unroll: a 120-mile chain of uninhabited cays over water so clear it seems lit from below, with swimming pigs, iguanas and empty sandbars. Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) is a short drive from the marinas. With the boat handed over, Rose Island or Athol Island just east of base give a short shakedown before the commitment south. The week comes down to how far down the chain to go: the northern Exumas are an easy reach and return, but going deeper means more open water between the cays, so keep time in hand for the way back. The central and southern Exumas are another few days’ sailing, better matched to two weeks than to one.
