What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups This 2019 Dufour 390 sleeps eight across three cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a bareboat adventure. The 12-meter length is manageable for confident sailors without feeling cramped below deck.
Well-equipped vessel You're getting serious kit here: bow thruster, autopilot, solar panels, and diving/snorkeling gear included, plus a teak cockpit with barbecue and speakers for proper evening entertainment. Air conditioning and an inverter mean genuine comfort, not roughing it.
Strong operator credentials IonionSails.gr has a stellar 4.9/5 rating across eight reviews, which suggests reliable support and well-maintained boats. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable for a three-cabin vessel of this caliber.
One practical note The Ionian base (Greece) is wonderful for sailing, but you'll need to factor in a flight to Athens or another major European hub, then a connection, typical journey time is 4, 5 hours total from the UK or US East Coast. Worth the travel if Greek waters are your target, but not a quick weekend escape.
