Pyrrha (Dufour 445 Grand Large)

Perfect for groups This Dufour 445 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with friends or family, four cabins sleeping eight means no one's cramped, and the layout works well for mixed experience levels. It's the kind of boat that keeps everyone happy whether they're keen sailors or just along for the Mediterranean breeze.

Well-equipped and thoughtful You get the essentials and then some: autopilot, bow thruster, and chart plotter make handling easy, while the bimini and sprayhood keep the sun and spray manageable during longer passages. The snorkeling kit is a nice bonus for anchorage days, and the heating suggests the operator thinks year-round, useful for spring or autumn charters in cooler waters.

Solid value proposition A 2012 boat in this size and spec, managed by a highly-rated operator (even if there's only one review to go on), typically represents fair middle-ground pricing for the Mediterranean charter market. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable and suggests the operator isn't squeezing clients on ancillary costs.

One honest note With a 5/5 rating from just a single review, you're sailing partly on faith, I'd recommend checking recent Trustpilot or independent feedback before booking to confirm the experience is consistent. That said, the boat's spec and condition suggest an operator who cares about the details.
