The 4 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 44 was built in 2025 and it is docked in Kastel Gomilica, Croatia. The Dufour 44 (2025) can accommodate up to 8 people in 4 cabins and it has 3 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 46 ft / 13,9 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): air condition, stand up paddle (sup) and it’s obligatory extras: comfort pack. The main sail is full batten. You can check-in from 17:00 h and check-out until 08:00 h.
Why charter this Dufour 44
4 cabins for 8 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 2.7 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 13,9 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Dufour 44 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 4 cabins and 3 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
Central Dalmatia from Kaštel Gomilica
Kaštel Gomilica is a quiet base in Kaštela Bay, its tiny fortified islet village a few miles from Split’s airport but clear of the city’s charter bustle. An early handover leaves time to cross to Šolta or the near shore of Brač; a later one is better spent at the berth, slipping out next morning. Split Airport (SPU) is a short drive, with Zadar (ZAD) an option when its flights fit better. A week of Brač, Šolta, Hvar and the Pakleni Islands stays almost entirely in the lee of the islands, the channels short and no long open passage forced. The exposure only starts south of Hvar, so Hvar makes the natural turn and the run home stays inside the sheltered channels.
