What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Great all-rounder The Dufour 460 Grand Large is a genuinely well-designed cruiser that suits families and mixed-ability groups equally well, you get comfortable accommodation across four cabins with serious deck space and modern conveniences without fussing with a sprawling megayacht. The 2018 build year means everything feels current, and the boat's reputation for being easy to handle is well-earned.
Smart features onboard You're getting solid kit here: solar panels plus an inverter mean you're not burning fuel for comfort, the bow thruster takes the stress out of tight moorings, and that swimming platform is genuinely useful in warm-water destinations. The autopilot and chart plotter are standard essentials, but the addition of cockpit speakers and a proper barbecue suggests this operator thinks about how you'll actually spend your time.
Solid value proposition At €2,500 deposit, the entry cost is reasonable for a four-cabin boat of this calibre and age, though you'll want to confirm the weekly charter rate, that's where you'll see whether this is competitive in her market. The equipment list suggests Soul Sailing has invested in making the experience comfortable rather than cutting corners.
One note on location The base location isn't specified here, so you'll need to check where "Ritmico" is moored, this matters enormously for flight times and whether you're looking at a quick hop from a major European hub or something requiring a connection.
