The 4 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 430 GL was built in 2020 and it is docked in Lavrion, Greece. The Dufour 430 GL (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: damage waiver, service pack. 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 GL
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 GL 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 western Cyclades from Lavrion
Lavrion is the quickest way into the Cyclades, an Attic port an hour from Athens, with Cape Sounion and its clifftop Temple of Poseidon on the way out. With a light meltemi, Kea’s horseshoe harbour at Vourkari is an easy first crossing; if it is blowing, Sounion’s lee is the safer first night. Athens International Airport (ATH) is a 35–50-minute road transfer, closer than from central Athens. Kea, Kythnos and the western chain lie a short day apart, but the meltemi blows hard here in summer, so make the open legs early and keep the return west toward the sheltered Saronic. Serifos, Sifnos and the deeper Cyclades add exposed meltemi miles and a longer beat home, better saved for a trip timed to a lull in the northerlies.
