About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Perfect starter choice The Dufour 32 "Silvia" is ideal for couples or small groups new to sailing, or experienced sailors wanting a nimble, manageable boat. At just under 10 metres, she's forgiving enough for less confident sailors yet responsive enough to keep seasoned skippers engaged.
Well-equipped for comfort You're getting genuine cruising kit here, lazy jacks and lazy bag make sail handling simple, the sprayhood keeps spray at bay, and thoughtful touches like the teak cockpit and bimini sun awning make time on deck genuinely pleasant. The chart plotter and solid cabin refrigeration mean you can actually live aboard comfortably for a week.
Solid value proposition At this size and spec, the deposit sits in the mid-range, and Parallelo 38's perfect 5-star rating (despite limited reviews) suggests honest, attentive operation. You're paying fairly for what's a genuinely capable, well-maintained boat rather than getting gouged on a flashy brand name.
One honest note With just two cabins for up to six berths, you're looking at tight quarters if you're bringing four or more people, one cabin will feel genuinely snug. Check the charter base location carefully, as we don't have that detail here, since your flight connections depend entirely on proximity to a major airport.

The marina & destination
Based at Capo d'Orlando Marina, in Capo d'Orlando, Italy. Silvia is operated by Parallelo 38 Charter.
Contrada S. Gregorio
Capo d'Orlando Marina sits on Sicily's north coast, offering immediate access to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands; week one typically involves motor-sailing or light reaching to Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with the prevailing northwesterlies allowing comfortable passages of 15-25 nautical miles between anchorages. The marina provides a practical base for exploring protected anchorages around Panarea and Stromboli before returning westward along the Sicilian coast toward the Cefalù area, giving you a mix of overnight anchorages, small harbors, and volcanic scenery without long open-water passages.
