Pavana (Dufour 470 Grand Large)

Ideal for families Pavana suits groups of up to 10 who want comfortable cruising without sacrificing space. The four-cabin layout works brilliantly for two families or a larger group wanting proper privacy, which is rare at this price point.

Well-equipped modern cruiser This 2023 Dufour 470 arrives fully sorted with a bow thruster, autopilot, Wi-Fi, and decent creature comforts like a teak cockpit and bimini, essentials for longer passages and Mediterranean heat. The sprayhood and cockpit cushions show the operator thinks about actual comfort, not just checkbox features.

Strong value proposition At €4,224 per week with a genuinely five-star operator (Ban Tours has solid reviews), you're getting a newer boat at a fair rate for a four-cabin cruiser. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable and suggests transparent dealings.

One honest note The listing lacks the base location, which matters for flight logistics, you'll need to confirm where you're flying into and how long the transfer takes from the airport. That said, Ban Tours' solid reputation suggests they'll handle logistics smoothly once you enquire directly.
