Why charter this Dufour 48 Catamaran - 5 + 1 cab.
5 cabins for 10 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 14,7 m, this catamaran works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Dufour 48 Catamaran - 5 + 1 cab. suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 5 cabins and 5 heads. The catamaran beam is useful at anchor, but marina planning needs wider berth options and earlier docking choices.
Vulcano and the Aeolians from Capo d’Orlando
Capo d’Orlando sits under the wooded Nebrodi mountains on Sicily’s north coast, a working town with a marina rather than a resort, and the week forks between the Aeolians offshore and the Tyrrhenian coast itself. Catania (CTA) and Palermo (PMO) are each a long coastal drive, so most crews spend the first night on the Sicilian shore and read the wind before deciding. The coastal option runs west under the headlands to the Tindari sanctuary and the Marinello lagoons, sheltered short hops close in. For the islands, Vulcano, Lipari and Salina sit a short hop apart once across, though the channels are open and the anchorages deep, so pick a calm day for the crossing and keep the run home for an easy last day.
