Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Great family cruiser. The Dufour 390 is a proven, spacious design that sleeps eight across three cabins, ideal for families or two couples seeking comfortable Med or Atlantic cruising without feeling cramped. Being a 2021 build, you're getting a modern, well-maintained boat.
Smart comfort kit. The lazy bag (easier sail handling), sprayhood (keeps spray off the cockpit), autopilot, and chart plotter mean less wrestling with canvas and more relaxing sailing. The inverter and fridge are practical touches for longer charters, and the included dinghy gives you proper beach exploration.
Solid value proposition. At this size and berth count, the €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and the equipment list shows the operator hasn't skimped on essentials. You're not paying for flash; you're paying for reliable, sensible cruising capability.
One practical note: The base location isn't specified in your data, so before booking, confirm airport transfer times from your departure hub, long haul flights mean you'll want to know if it's 30 minutes or three hours from the airport. Also check if Le Bateau Blanc offers English-speaking briefing and support, which matters for international crews unfamiliar with the local area.

Based at Bocca di Magra, in Bocca di Magra, Italy. Cuir Noir is operated by Le Bateau Blanc.
Bocca di Magra sits at the mouth of the Magra River on Italy's Ligerian coast, making it an ideal base for exploring the Cinque Terre, Portovenone, and the Gulf of La Spezia within a day's sail. Week 1 typically takes you south toward the Tuscan islands, Elba, and Portoferraio, or north to the Portofino peninsula and beyond; the prevailing northwesterly Mistral winds favour southbound passages in summer. The shallow approaches and protected river anchorage suit boats drawing under 2 metres, though you'll want local knowledge or a pilot for the entrance itself.
