The 4 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 455 GL was built in 2008 and it is docked in Kos, Greece. The Dufour 455 GL (2008) can accommodate up to 8 people in 4 cabins and it has 2 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 45 ft / 13,8 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): inverter, air condition, dinghy, swimming ladder, bimini top, autopilot, bow thruster, electric anchor windlass, hot water and it’s obligatory extras: 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 455 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 13,8 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Dufour 455 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 Dodecanese from Kos: north or south
Kos faces two ways, and picking one is the week’s decision: a northern loop through Pserimos and Kalymnos, or a southern chain by way of Nisyros, Tilos and Symi. The first day tends to commit the direction: an early start reaches Pserimos or Kalymnos while the daylight holds, otherwise a night in Kos and a morning departure. Kos Airport (KGS) is a 30–45-minute road transfer from the base. You usually work one arm at a time, picking up the more exposed southern islands as the meltemi eases, the return kept short ahead of the afternoon wind. Rhodes, a long passage out and back, and the outer Dodecanese lie beyond a single week.
