About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for smaller groups. The Dufour 360 is an ideal 3-cabin cruiser for couples or small families wanting manageable handling without sacrificing comfort, at 11 metres, she's responsive but not cramped, and the 8-berth capacity gives you flexibility if you're inviting friends along.
Well-equipped and thoughtful. The lazy bag and lazy jack system make sail handling genuinely easy (brilliant for less experienced crews), while the teak cockpit, bimini, and cockpit speakers create a genuinely pleasant cruising experience, this feels like a boat where the owner has thought about actual use, not just spec sheets.
Solid value proposition. A 2021 Dufour with this kit list and a reasonable deposit sits in a sweet spot for European summer cruising, you get modern reliability, enough creature comforts (fridge, autopilot), and a manageable price without charter company bloat.
One practical note: We've only got 2 reviews on Parallelo 38, so while their 5-star rating is encouraging, do ask direct questions about their base location, airport transfer logistics, and peak-season availability before committing, a small operator can offer fantastic personal service, but you'll want to confirm they're set up smoothly for international guests flying in.

The marina & destination
Based at Capo d'Orlando Marina, in Capo d'Orlando, Italy. Biga 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.
