Karibu (Dufour 360 GL)

Perfect for small groups The Dufour 360 is an ideal choice for couples or small families wanting a manageable sail without the complexity of larger yachts. Three cabins and six berths mean you've got comfortable sleeping arrangements without feeling cramped, and the 10.3-meter length keeps her easy to handle even if you're not super experienced.

Well-equipped and social She's genuinely well-spec'd for chartering, the teak cockpit, barbecue grill, and generous swimming platform make this boat about enjoying time together rather than just getting from A to B. The hydraulic gangway and chart plotter are practical touches that make life onboard smoother, and that electric toilet saves you from manual pumping hassles.

Fair value, but mixed reviews At this size and specification level, the pricing sits in a reasonable middle ground for Mediterranean sailing. However, the operator's 3.3/5 rating is something to take seriously, that's below the standard we'd expect, so do read through those 19 reviews carefully to understand what previous charterers experienced with maintenance, support, and the boat's actual condition.

Sardinia's a journey Remember you'll need to fly long-haul to reach Sardinia, so factor in airport transfers and whether the operator offers proper support for international arrivals. It's worth confirming they have English-speaking staff and reliable handover procedures, given the mixed operator feedback.
