The 4 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 430 GL was built in 2022 and it is docked in Marmaris, Turkey. The Dufour 430 GL (2022) 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): GPS chart plotter, bathing platform, cockpit table, bimini top, electric anchor windlass, bow thruster, swimming ladder and it’s obligatory extras: standard charter pack. The main sail is furling/roll. You can check-in from 17:00 h and check-out until 08:30 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.
Hisarönü and Gökova from Marmaris
Marmaris fills a big, castle-topped bay that opens west into a chain of sheltered gulfs, and it is a lively, fully equipped base to leave from. Dalaman Airport (DLM) is a 90–130-minute road transfer, with Milas-Bodrum (BJV) the longer drive. How far you go on the first day depends on the handover time: an early finish makes Çiftlik or Kumlubük for the night, each a short afternoon out, while a late one is better spent in the marina before an unhurried morning start. A week in the Gulf of Hisarönü is a string of half-day passages. Carrying on into the Gulf of Gökova brings quieter water but a longer haul home, and because the afternoon wind builds from the west, the return east wants an early turnaround to beat it home.
