Teti (Dufour 470)

Great family cruiser. The Dufour 470 is a modern, well-equipped five-cabin boat that works brilliantly for larger groups or families wanting comfortable, spacious sailing without constant motion or complexity. At 14.8m, it's roomy enough that everyone gets their own bunk and breathing room, a genuine comfort on week-long charters.

Smart onboard kit. Solar panels, inverter, Wi-Fi, electric winches, and bow thruster mean this 2024 boat removes friction from everyday cruising; you're not wrestling lines or worried about power depletion, and you can actually stay connected if needed. The sprayhood and cockpit cushions signal thoughtful owner choices for enjoying time on deck without discomfort.

Fair value proposition. For a new-build Dufour of this size and spec, the €3,000 deposit is reasonable, though you'll want to confirm the weekly rate, most similar boats in Mediterranean bases sit around €3,500, 5,500 depending on season. Marly Sailing operates from a location we'd need to verify for your flight routing and transfer time.

One realistic note: Five cabins across 14.8m means some cabins will be compact (expect smaller berths forward), and coordinating 11 people means careful planning on provisioning and schedules, not a caveat for the boat itself, just something larger groups need to think through upfront.
