What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups Blue Moon 1 is ideal if you're bringing friends or family, ten berths across four cabins mean everyone gets their own space without cramping. At €3,188/week, you're looking at roughly €320 per person for a week if you're splitting costs among ten, which is genuinely competitive for a modern, well-equipped 2020 Dufour.
Smart cruising gear The essentials are all there: solar panels keep your batteries topped up, a bow thruster makes tight anchorages manageable, and autopilot gives your crew a break on longer passages. Bimini and sprayhood add real comfort in sun or spray, small touches that make the difference on a week-long trip.
Operator looks solid Fyly Yachting's 4.6-star rating from 14 reviews is a good sign of reliable service and well-maintained boats. A €500 deposit is reasonable and suggests they're confident in their fleet condition.
One heads-up The listing doesn't specify the charter base location, which matters enormously for international travelers planning connections and transfer times. I'd confirm the exact port before booking, you'll want to know whether it's a Mediterranean hub with good airport links or somewhere requiring a longer transfer from your arrival airport.
