About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Who it suits This is an ideal choice for small groups or families wanting a comfortable, manageable sailing experience without the complexity of a larger yacht. The 2019 Dufour 390 offers plenty of space with 3 cabins and 8 berths, making it perfect for 4, 6 people in genuine comfort.
Standout features You're getting a well-equipped modern cruiser with thoughtful touches: the teak cockpit and bimini keep you comfortable in Mediterranean sun, autopilot handles passage work, and the chart plotter handles navigation. The lazy bag (mainsail flaking system) is a real convenience that takes the fuss out of sail handling, especially for less experienced crews.
Value for money At this size and vintage, the Dufour 390 offers genuine value, it's a proven, popular design that performs well without demanding constant attention. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and Parallelo 38 Charter's perfect 5-star rating (though admittedly based on just 2 reviews) suggests solid, reliable service.
One honest note The charter base location isn't listed here, so before booking, confirm how easy airport access is from your nearest international hub, that transfer logistics piece often makes or breaks a long-haul charter trip. Once you know where the yacht is based, you'll know exactly what your travel day looks like.

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