The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): air condition, stand up paddle (sup) and it’s obligatory extras: final cleaning. The main sail is furling/roll.

Why charter this Dufour 430 - 3 cab.
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 13,2 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Dufour 430 - 3 cab. 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.
The Lérins and the Esterel from Cannes
Cannes makes a compact, sheltered week, and the point of it is how little you need to move: the two Îles de Lérins, fort-topped Sainte-Marguerite and the monastery island of Saint-Honorat, ride at anchor just off the Croisette. After handover, Golfe-Juan or the islands themselves are close enough for a first night, and from there the day passages run either way, over to Antibes or into the porphyry Esterel coves. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) is a 30–45-minute road transfer, with Marseille Provence (MRS) the longer drive. The sailing stays close and protected; only pushing on toward Saint-Tropez or the Italian border opens real distance, where the mistral can funnel down hard, so hold those legs for a calm spell. The beat back west into the wind is the one to time for home, better kept for a longer stay.
