The overall length of the boat is 43 ft / 13,2 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): GPS chart plotter, bathing platform, bimini top, autopilot, bow thruster, hot water, dinghy, electric anchor windlass and it’s obligatory extras: . The main sail is full batten. You can check-in from 17:00 h and check-out until 09:00 h.
Why charter this Dufour 430
4 cabins for 8 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 4 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 13,2 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Dufour 430 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 4 cabins and 2 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
Corfu: south to Paxos or north toward Kassiopi
Corfu gives a clear opening choice: south to Paxos and Antipaxos with their sea caves, or north up the island’s own coast to Kassiopi under the Albanian mountains. Either way the first crossing is best made early, so a late handover is better held in Corfu town for a morning start. Corfu Airport (CFU) is a short drive, close to town. Either the southern islands or the northern coast is a week of short passages of fifteen to twenty miles, the green Venetian island and its fortress town the base to come back to. On the north coast the afternoon breeze funnels down the Albanian strait, so turn back a day early and keep the last leg in the sheltered northern bays. Whichever way you go first, the other direction is the longer reach, one for a cruise with more days.
