Mirasole (Dufour 470)

Perfect for groups This 2024 Dufour 470 sleeps up to 11 across five cabins, making it genuinely rare value if you're chartering with family or friends, you'll struggle to find this much accommodation on a single yacht under most budget lines. The newest build year means everything feels fresh and systems are modern.

Smart sailing setup The lazy bag and lazy jack system takes real sweat out of mainsail handling, while the bow thruster and autopilot earn their keep in tighter anchorages and during longer passages. You've got a chart plotter in the cockpit, which beats constantly heading below to check position, plus a bimini and sprayhood for shade and weather protection, essentials on a bareboat charter.

Good value proposition At €600 deposit with solid cruising kit included (refrigerator, inverter, cockpit speakers), this feels reasonably priced for a modern, spacious five-cabin boat. The outboard engine keeps maintenance simple and fuel costs lower than inboards.

One caveat worth noting The listing shows no base location, which is unusual, I'd confirm where Lascatutto operates this boat before booking, as getting yourself and 10 others to a remote or hard-to-reach charter base can add serious time and expense to your journey. Don't assume convenient airport transfers until you verify.
