The 4 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 430 was built in 2023 and it is docked in Göcek, Turkey. The Dufour 430 (2023) 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: standard charter pack. The main sail is full batten. You can check-in from 16:00 h and check-out until 08:30 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.
The Twelve Islands of the Gulf of Fethiye from Göcek
Göcek is a yachtsman’s village at the head of the Gulf of Fethiye, its shelter and boatyards making it a natural base for the ring of coves and the scattered Twelve Islands just offshore. Dalaman Airport (DLM) is a short drive, with Antalya (AYT) much further. Day one depends on the handover: an early finish puts the Yassıca Islands, Tersane or Sarsala Bay within reach, while a later one keeps the first night close to Göcek. The gulf’s anchorages then link on short, sheltered passages, the water glassy in the mornings; pushing out past Fethiye into open water is the longer reach, so plan an earlier turnaround and hold the last day inside the gulf. The Yedi Adalar and the coast toward Kalkan open into exposed miles with a longer return, better once the meltemi eases and there are days to spare.
