What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
12 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Solid entry-level cruiser. The Dufour 335 is a well-established design that balances ease of handling with genuine comfort for a couple or small family. At 10.3 metres, she's manageable for less experienced sailors yet roomy enough not to feel cramped over a week-long charter.
Smart practical touches. Electric winches and lazy jacks make sail handling straightforward, while the bimini and sprayhood protect you from sun and spray, essential kit if you're crossing time zones to reach the Mediterranean or similar. Autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, and the onboard fridge means you won't live on tinned food.
Honest value proposition. A €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and this boat delivers solid bang for money if you're hiring for a relaxed week rather than seeking luxury. The 2014 build age is fine; Dufours are robust workhorses.
One practical note. We don't have the charter base location listed here, so do confirm where "Caprice 2" is moored, proximity to an international airport and availability for your preferred season matter more than the boat herself when you're flying in from overseas.
