Gerry (Dufour 460 Grand Large)

Perfect cruising platform. The Dufour 460 is a solid mid-sized cruiser that suits families and groups of friends wanting comfort without complexity, four cabins sleep ten, so you've got genuine flexibility for crew rotation or mixed ages. She's built for relaxed sailing rather than racing, which means less fiddling and more time enjoying the Med.

Well-equipped for ease. Bimini and sprayhood keep sun and spray at bay, lazy jack and lazy bag make sail handling genuinely hassle-free (a real quality-of-life feature), and autopilot plus chart plotter take stress out of longer passages. The fridge is a practical touch for provisioning properly without daily shopping runs.

Solid value proposition. At €5,355 per week through Malta Charters, you're looking at under €535 per person for a ten-berth yacht, competitive for this size and spec. The €4,000 deposit is reasonable and suggests the operator runs a straightforward, professional outfit.

One realistic note: Malta is genuinely convenient for European and UK flyers (direct flights, short airport transfers), but she's a 2019 boat without mention of freshwater capacity, engine hours, or recent refits, worth clarifying those details before committing, just to confirm she matches your expectations for a full-week charter.
