What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups This 2022 Dufour 470 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with friends or family , five cabins and ten berths mean everyone gets their own space without cramping the boat. At 14.8 metres, she's spacious enough to feel comfortable but still manageable for a skilled skipper.
Smart modern kit The standout features here are the practical upgrades: solar panels and a bow thruster make life genuinely easier in a Greek charter, while the sprayhood and bimini keep you comfortable in strong sun. The chart plotter, electric toilet, and onboard fridge are all standard expectations met well on a boat this size and age.
Solid value proposition At €4,200 per week you're paying fair market rates for a newer, well-equipped family cruiser in Greece , nothing bargain-basement, but honest pricing. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable and protects both you and the operator.
Worth noting Make sure your skipper has solid experience with a five-cabin layout; larger boats require more confidence in tight anchorages and mooring spots, especially around the Greek islands where space can be tight. Flight connections to Athens or another mainland base are straightforward from the US, UK, and most of Europe.
