The overall length of the boat is 43 ft / 13,2 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): and it’s obligatory extras: starter pack, entry fee. 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 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.
Cala di Volpe and La Maddalena from Porto Rotondo
Porto Rotondo is a designer marina on a pink-granite headland, dropped right among the emerald coves that made the Costa Smeralda famous, so the first day barely counts as a passage: Cala di Volpe or Porto Cervo is a half-hour hop after an early handover, and a late one loses nothing spent in the coves next door. Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB) is a short drive. Much of a week can be spent cove-hopping this short, sheltered stretch, the sailing measured in a few miles at a time. The one commitment is the La Maddalena crossing north: its park zones need a permit booked ahead, and the mistral can make the open channel rough, so pick the day for it and be back before the mistral turns the final leg rough.
