Alma Libre IX (Dufour 390)

Ideal for families This 2023 Dufour 390 suits small families or groups of friends wanting a comfortable, manageable sail without the complexity of larger yachts. Three cabins sleep eight, so you've got flexibility whether you're six or bringing kids along.

Modern essentials included You get the practical stuff that matters: electric winches (your arms will thank you), a chart plotter for navigation confidence, and a holding tank so you're not worrying about waste management. The teak cockpit and sprayhood make lounging between sails genuinely pleasant, even in choppier conditions.

Decent value proposition At just €2500 deposit for a nearly new boat in this size range, the pricing looks competitive. You're chartering a recent model with proper electrics and systems that won't nickle-and-dime you with breakdowns.

Missing key detail The base location isn't listed in your specs, which matters enormously, if VASKON MARINE is operating from somewhere requiring two connecting flights, factor that into your planning and rest days. Worth confirming their exact location and whether they arrange airport transfers, since long-haul clients need to know their ground logistics upfront.
