Bedda Matri (Dufour 470)

Perfect for families This 2025 Dufour 470 suits groups of up to 11 or multi-family charters wanting genuine comfort without sacrifice. The five cabins and generous berth count make it rare in this size bracket, and brand-new build quality means you're getting a modern, well-maintained vessel.

Standout features Electric winches and a bow thruster transform handling, especially useful if your crew includes less experienced sailors or older guests. Solar panels plus inverter and generator give you serious independence at anchor, while air conditioning and the convertible saloon table signal this is built for cruising rather than racing.

Solid value proposition At €600 deposit with Lascatutto (a reputable Sicilian operator), you're getting a practically new boat bristling with tech and comfort kit that usually costs extra elsewhere. The teak cockpit and Bimini/Sprayhood combination shows attention to luxury detail for the price bracket.

One realistic note Sicily's a stunning base, but factor in a long journey from northern Europe or the US, most clients fly into Palermo or Catania. If your group includes non-sailors, confirm Lascatutto offers a thorough briefing, as electric systems and that bow thruster reward smart operation.
