What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for small groups This 2019 Dufour 390 is ideal for couples or small families (up to six) wanting a manageable, well-equipped boat without the complexity of larger vessels. The three cabins give everyone their own space, which is always appreciated on a week-long charter.
Solid modern kit You're getting genuinely useful features here: electric winches make sailing easier, the hydraulic gangway saves your back when boarding, and that teak cockpit with cushions and barbecue grill keeps everyone comfortable topside. The chart plotter and swimming platform are exactly what you want for Mediterranean cruising.
Mixed owner feedback The 3.3/5 rating from 19 reviews is a caution flag, it suggests the boat and/or operator experience is inconsistent. Before committing, request specific recent reviews and check exactly what condition issues past charterers mentioned. That €3,500 deposit is reasonable, but dig deeper on what's driven the middling scores.
Sardinia logistics You'll be flying into mainland Europe and onward to Sardinia, which adds travel time but puts you in one of the Med's most beautiful cruising grounds. Confirm the operator speaks English fluently and offers reliable airport-to-boat transfers, those details matter when you're arriving jet-lagged from the US or UK.
