What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
11 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.
Perfect starter-friendly cruiser The Dufour 350 Grand Large is an excellent choice if you're new to bareboat sailing or want a manageable, forgiving boat for a week's coastal exploring. At just over 10 metres, it's big enough for comfortable cruising with family or friends, yet nimble enough that you won't feel overwhelmed if you're building your confidence.
Smart modern touches This 2015 model punches above its weight with solar panels, Wi-Fi, a chart plotter in the cockpit, and a teak cockpit that feels genuinely pleasant to spend time on. The swimming platform and bimini are real quality-of-life features for Mediterranean or tropical waters, and the sprayhood keeps things dry during passage-making.
Strong value proposition The €1,500 deposit is refreshingly modest, and Navigo's perfect 5-star rating (even from a small sample) suggests a well-run, attentive operation. You're getting a solid, mid-range boat without premium pricing , ideal if you want reliable equipment and good condition without overcommitting your budget.
One practical note The operator's base location isn't listed here, so confirm flight accessibility and airport-transfer logistics before booking , especially if you're coming from the US or northern Europe. A well-positioned base (think Mediterranean or Caribbean) makes a huge difference for long-haul charters.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
