The 3 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 412 GL was built in 2020 and it is docked in Portorosa, Italy. 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): GPS chart plotter, electric anchor windlass, bimini top, swimming ladder, inverter, hot water, air condition, autopilot, cockpit table, dinghy, freezer and it’s obligatory extras: essentials pack, handling fees, starter pack, final cleaning. The main sail is furling/roll. You can check-in from 17:00 h and check-out until 09:00 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.
Lipari and the Aeolians from Portorosa
Portorosa is a full resort marina on the north Sicilian coast near Milazzo, all pontoon berths, chandlery and quayside shops, so most crews spend the first evening stocking the boat and settling in rather than rushing off. Catania (CTA) and Palermo (PMO) airports are each a long coastal transfer, which makes that unhurried start the sensible one. The Capo Milazzo reserve on the peninsula next door is the shakedown before anything offshore. From here the Aeolians are a full day out and back across open water, so you build the week around one clear-weather window for the crossing, then several unhurried days among the deep anchorages of Lipari and Salina before the run in.
