Faidra (Dufour 44)

Perfect for families The Dufour 44 is an ideal choice if you're chartering with extended family or friends, four cabins and eight berths give everyone their own space without feeling cramped. It's a proven design that handles well for mixed ability crews, from confident sailors to keen learners.

Well-equipped modern boat This 2026 model comes with genuinely useful kit: solar panels and an inverter mean you can run essentials without constantly running the engine, while the bow thruster makes tight anchorages and marina maneuvers stress-free. The teak cockpit, swimming platform, and sprayhood are the kind of touches that make a charter feel less utilitarian and more enjoyable.

Solid value proposition At 13.9 meters with four cabins, you're getting sensible volume for the size, and the equipment list shows the operator isn't cutting corners, electric toilet, chart plotter, and autopilot are standard but not always included at this price point. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable.

One small note Olympic Yachting has only one review on record (albeit a perfect 5-star), so there's limited independent feedback to assess consistency. I'd recommend reaching out directly to ask about their support during your charter and checking recent client testimonials before committing.
