Isabella (Dufour 430 Grand Large)

Perfect for families Isabella is an excellent choice if you're bringing a group or family of up to eight people. The 2022 Dufour 430 is a proven, comfortable cruiser with four separate cabins, making it ideal for two couples or multigenerational trips where privacy matters.

Well-equipped modern boat This yacht ticks all the practical boxes, air conditioning, autopilot, solar panels, and a chart plotter mean you'll cruise comfortably without constant hands-on sailing. The sprayhood and bimini keep you protected from the elements, while the dinghy gives you flexibility to explore anchorages and reach shore easily.

Solid value proposition At this specification level with a recent build year and comprehensive kit, Isabella represents honest value for a bareboat or skippered charter. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and Sailmax's track record suggests well-maintained vessels that won't surprise you with hidden issues.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed here, so confirm flight connections and transfer time from your nearest international airport before booking, that's crucial when flying long-haul from the US or further afield to reach her mooring.
