Payidar (Dufour 44)

Ideal for families This 2025 Dufour 44 suits couples and small groups wanting comfortable sailing without breaking the bank. With four cabins sleeping eight, it's roomy enough for extended family or two couples exploring together.

Modern, well-equipped Solar panels and an inverter mean you'll stay self-sufficient at anchor, while electric winches and autopilot reduce physical demand, great if anyone's less experienced or you want easier handling. The outboard engine keeps things simple, and thoughtful touches like the sprayhood and bimini add real comfort on deck.

Solid value proposition A brand-new Dufour offers proven design and reliability at a mid-range price point. The €2500 deposit is reasonable, and Sailway's perfect rating (albeit from limited reviews) suggests solid operator standards.

One honest note: We don't have the base location or pricing data here, so we can't comment on whether this represents true value in your chosen cruising ground or how accessible the charter location is from international airports. That said, as a 2025 model from an established builder, it should deliver straightforward sailing with modern conveniences.
