Nishane (Dufour 460)

Perfect for groups The Dufour 460 "Nishane" is an excellent choice if you're chartering with family or friends, five cabins and 12 berths mean you won't feel cramped, even on a two-week trip. This 2020 build is modern enough to feel comfortable without breaking the bank.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting genuinely useful kit here: bow thruster and electric winches take the stress out of tight anchorages and sail handling, while autopilot lets you actually enjoy downtime. The sprayhood and bimini are real quality-of-life additions for longer passages or hot-weather cruising, and the lazy jack system keeps mainsail handling straightforward.

Solid value proposition At this size and age with this spec, the €3,000 deposit suggests competitive weekly rates through Pianeta Mare Charter. You're paying for a practical, proven design rather than flashy extras, exactly what most charterers need.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed in your data, so I'd confirm directly with Pianeta Mare how easily you can reach it from major European airports (most clients fly into somewhere like Rome, Athens, or Split). That'll help factor in your overall travel time and costs from the US or UK.
