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.
Elba and the Etruscan coast from Cecina
Cecina is the Etruscan Riviera: a low pine-and-cypress shore behind the Bolgheri vineyards, with Roman and Etruscan remains above the Gulf of Baratti, and much of the sailing stays on the mainland coast itself, beach to beach. Elba lies a short hop across the channel, taken on the settled days, since the mistral out of the north-west can shut the crossing and is better sat out ashore. Pisa Airport (PSA) is the nearer gateway, with Florence (FLR) a 45–70-minute alternative. The near shore and Elba are a week of short passages, the island held for the calm spells. Capraia and the wider archipelago, further out and more open, are for a longer trip once the weather sets fair.
