The 4 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 430 was built in 2020 and it is docked in Primosten, Croatia. The Dufour 430 (2020) can accommodate up to 8 people in 4 cabins and it has 2 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 43 ft / 13,2 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): air condition, stand up paddle (sup) and it’s obligatory extras: transit log. The main sail is full batten. You can check-in from 17:00 h and check-out until 08:00 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.
Mid-coast cruising from Primošten: Šibenik or Split
Primošten’s appeal to a charterer is its position: halfway between Šibenik and Split, it opens two ways, north into the Šibenik archipelago and the approaches to the Kornati, or south past Rogoznica toward Šolta and the Drveniks. That fork is the real planning choice. After handover a near cove or Rogoznica itself makes a first night while you settle on a direction. Split Airport (SPU) is a 35–60-minute road transfer, with Zadar (ZAD) the longer drive. A week either way keeps to short, sheltered legs; only the run out to Brač, Hvar or the outer Kornati turns long and open, so hold it for a calm spell and off the final leg home. Those outer islands, more committing miles offshore, are what a second week is for.
