Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect starter choice. The Dufour 41 suits first-time or intermediate charterers who want a modern, manageable boat without complexity, it's forgiving to sail and roomy enough for families or small groups of six in reasonable comfort.
Smart modern kit. Solar panels and an inverter mean you'll keep devices charged without hammering the engine, while the electric toilet and autopilot take the graft out of longer passages. The outboard engine keeps weight aft minimal, and those twin bimini and sprayhood setups are genuinely useful in variable weather.
Good value proposition. A 2024 Dufour is built to last with honest construction, and at this size, 12.8 metres, you get genuine sea-keeping without the maintenance headaches of older boats. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable for a bareboat of this spec.
One fair note: The operator has only one review on file, so you're sailing with a relatively untested charter company. Check directly with Sailway about their support structure, fuel costs, and handover process before committing, a five-star rating means nothing if it's based on a single charter. Base location data is missing too, which you'll need to factor into your flight logistics from Europe or the US.

Based at Adaköy Marina, in Marmaris, Turkey. Luka is operated by Sailway.
Adaköy Marina in Marmaris sits at the gateway to the Turkish Riviera's most accessible cruising grounds; week one typically takes you east along the coast to Ekincik and Dalyan, or west toward Icmeler and the Greek islands of Rhodes and Symi depending on wind direction. The marina benefits from reliable northwest winds in summer months, making it well-positioned for both novice sailors exploring sheltered bays and more experienced crews heading into open water. From here you can reach anchorages with reasonable overnight distances of 15 to 30 nautical miles, giving you flexibility to explore limestone coves, visit working fishing villages, and sample local provisions without excessive daily sailing.
