What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for couples and small groups. This 2025 Dufour 44 suits sailors who want a modern, well-equipped boat without oversizing, three cabins sleep up to eight, so it's ideal for two families or a group of friends who don't mind sharing quarters.
Standout features here. You're getting a brand-new build with serious comfort kit: air conditioning, generator, bow thruster for tight anchorages, radar, and a chart plotter for navigation confidence. The teak deck and cockpit cushions signal this is built for relaxed cruising, while electric winches make sail handling effortless, great if your crew isn't young or super experienced.
Value is solid. At €3,153 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this newer Dufour sits at fair-market rates for a 2025 model with this spec. You're paying for newness and creature comforts rather than premium pricing.
One honest note: The operator has only three reviews at 4.3/5, thin feedback for a charter decision, so request recent client references before booking. Also, the base location isn't listed here; check where she's moored so you can factor in airport transfers and getting to the vessel, since you'll likely be flying in from afar.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
