The 4 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 460 GL was built in 2016 and it is docked in Portorosa, Italy. The Dufour 460 GL (2016) can accommodate up to 8 people in 4 cabins and it has 4 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 47 ft / 14,2 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): grill (barbecue) , dinghy with outboard engine, air condition and it’s obligatory extras: final cleaning. The main sail is full batten. You can check-in from 18:00 h and check-out until 08:00 h.
Why charter this Dufour 460 GL
4 cabins for 8 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 2 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 14,2 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Dufour 460 GL suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 4 cabins and 4 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
Lipari and the Aeolians from Portorosa
Portorosa is a full resort marina on the north Sicilian coast near Milazzo, all pontoon berths, chandlery and quayside shops, so most crews spend the first evening stocking the boat and settling in rather than rushing off. Catania (CTA) and Palermo (PMO) airports are each a long coastal transfer, which makes that unhurried start the sensible one. The Capo Milazzo reserve on the peninsula next door is the shakedown before anything offshore. From here the Aeolians are a full day out and back across open water, so you build the week around one clear-weather window for the crossing, then several unhurried days among the deep anchorages of Lipari and Salina before the run in.
