Why not 13 (Dufour 460)

Ideal crew size This 14.8m Dufour suits groups of 6, 8 sailors comfortably, though it sleeps up to 10 if you're willing to squeeze. The four cabins and solid equipment list make it a practical choice for families or friends sharing costs on a week-long cruise.

Well-equipped vessel Solar panels, generator, inverter, and a bow thruster tick all the boxes for modern cruising comfort, you'll manage coastal hops and anchorages without fuss. The sprayhood, bimini, and cockpit cushions mean you're set for both hot Mediterranean days and rougher passages, plus snorkeling gear adds easy water fun.

Fair value proposition At €2,500 deposit, the pricing sits in the mainstream charter bracket for a 2019 Dufour of this size. The operator's 4.2/5 rating across five reviews suggests solid, reliable service, nothing spectacular, but dependable enough for peace of mind when flying long-haul to the base.

One practical note The operator's location isn't specified in your data, so before booking, confirm airport transfer logistics and whether English-speaking staff are available, especially important if you're coordinating international flights and tight connections.
