About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Ideal for families The Dufour 450 is a brilliant mid-sized family cruiser with four comfortable cabins and space for up to eight berths, making it perfect for two couples or a larger family wanting proper sleeping quarters without feeling cramped.
Well-equipped vessel This boat ticks all the boxes for modern cruising, you've got autopilot, a bow thruster for tight mooring situations, chart plotter visibility both below and in the cockpit, plus genuine comfort extras like a bimini for sun protection and cockpit cushions that make those long sunny days genuinely pleasant.
Strong operator backup Anka Yachting holds a perfect 5-star rating, though with just two reviews that's a smaller sample size than we'd typically want to base a decision on, worth asking them directly about recent client feedback and their turnaround between charters to ensure you're getting a well-maintained boat.
Fair value proposition At just €2,000 deposit and the 2013 build year, this represents solid mid-range pricing for a four-cabin boat; the real question is weekly rate and whether your chosen sailing destination justifies the long-haul flight from the US or Europe, check where the base actually is, as that missing detail matters hugely for your travel logistics.

The marina & destination
Based at Netsel Marmaris Marina, in Marmaris, Turkey. Surprise is operated by Anka Yachting.
Sarıana Mah., M.Münir Elgin Bulvarı 38/2
Netsel Marmaris is well-positioned for exploring the Turkish Riviera's protected bays and islands; week one typically takes you east along the Datça Peninsula toward Ekincik, or west to the Greek islands of Symi and Rhodes depending on wind conditions. The marina offers good facilities for turnaround and provisioning, with the prevailing northwesterly winds (Etesian) favoring coastal hops to anchorages like Selimiye, Orhaniye, and Bozburun. This is an established charter base with straightforward access to shallow-water cruising among pine-backed coves, making it suitable for mixed-experience crews.
