Sail Corvus (Dufour 390 Grand Large)

Ideal for small groups The Dufour 390 is a smart choice for couples or families of up to six looking for a modern, manageable cruiser. At nearly 12 metres, it's spacious enough to avoid feeling cramped, yet still easy to handle without a large crew.

Well-equipped 2023 build This boat comes nicely sorted with autopilot, radar, and an inverter, practical kit that makes longer passages more relaxed and gives you power for phones and laptops. The lazy bag (for the mainsail) is a real quality-of-life feature that reduces on-deck faffing.

Solid value proposition Sailfleet runs a tight ship with a 4.6-star rating across their fleet, and the €2,250 deposit is reasonable for a modern boat of this calibre. You're paying for a newish, reliable platform without breaking the bank.

One realistic note The 3-cabin layout means tight quarters for six adults, realistically, it works best for four or five people. If you're chartering long-haul from North America or Europe, confirm the base location and transfer logistics with Sailfleet before booking, as that can swing the true cost of your trip.
