What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Solid family choice The Dufour 390 Grand Large is a well-designed cruiser that suits families or small groups wanting a comfortable, manageable boat without sacrificing space. Three cabins and eight berths give you genuine flexibility, whether you're sailing with friends or keeping kids comfortable on longer passages.
Smart practical features Solar panels and a bow thruster are genuine bonuses that make single-handed or short-handed sailing less exhausting, and the cockpit chart plotter keeps navigation straightforward. The included dinghy and outboard mean you're set for exploring shallow anchorages and beach stops without renting extras.
Keen pricing At €2,693 per week with only a €2,500 deposit, this represents honest value for a 2020 boat in this size bracket. Sailing in Blue's perfect 5-star rating (though only two reviews so far) suggests the operator takes care of their fleet.
One fair note The charter base location isn't listed, which matters when you're flying long-haul, I'd confirm the airport transfer time and whether Sailing in Blue arranges logistics directly, as that can make or break your opening day.
