The 5 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 520 GL was built in 2019 and it is docked in Milazzo, Italy. The Dufour 520 GL (2019) can accommodate up to 10 people in 5 cabins and it has 3 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 50 ft / 15,2 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): air condition, stand up paddle (sup) and it’s obligatory extras: final cleaning. The main sail is classic/standard. You can check-in from 18:00 h and check-out until 09:00 h.
Why charter this Dufour 520 GL
5 cabins for 10 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 3.3 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 15,2 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Dufour 520 GL suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 5 cabins and 3 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
The Aeolian islands from Milazzo
Milazzo is the mainland springboard for the Aeolians, a working tuna town strung along a long cape north of the airports, so the week hinges on the crossing itself. Catania (CTA) and Palermo (PMO) are each about a two-hour road transfer. The Capo Milazzo point and its little marine reserve give a first afternoon’s shakedown while you read the channel; in a calm slot Vulcano is a straight run offshore, but a fresh wind makes a night behind the cape the wiser start. Once across, the going is short island hops between deep anchorages, Vulcano to Lipari to Salina, and the crossing home is the one to save for a calm last day.
