The 4 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 460 GL was built in 2018 and it is docked in Guadeloupe, Caribbean. The Dufour 460 GL (2018) 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): air condition, stand up paddle (sup) and it’s obligatory extras: handling fees, starter pack, final cleaning, essentials pack. The main sail is full batten. You can check-in from 17:00 h and check-out until 10:00 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.
Les Saintes, Basse-Terre and Marie-Galante from Guadeloupe
From the Bas-du-Fort base, the week’s first decision is which way to turn out of the marina. South is the easiest run, to the sheltered anchorage of Les Saintes; or you head up the lee of volcanic Basse-Terre past Deshaies. Pointe-à-Pitre Airport (PTP) is a short drive from the base. Either way the daily hops stay under fifteen miles in the island’s lee, while Marie-Galante sits exposed to the south-east, one to save for calm weather and to factor into the return plan. Marie-Galante, La Désirade and, further off, Dominica are open-channel crossings, better kept for a longer stay, with a Dominica clearance to arrange.
