SailChecker Expert View
Perfect family cruiser The Dufour 500 Grand Large is a spacious, well-equipped cruising yacht that suits families or small groups wanting comfortable sailing without compromise. At 15.1m with four cabins and nine berths, there's plenty of room for everyone to have their own space, rare on boats this size.
Standout practical features You get the essentials that make cruising easier: bow thruster for tight mooring situations, autopilot to reduce fatigue on longer passages, outboard engine for fuel efficiency, and a dinghy included so you can actually explore anchorages. This is proper, sensible equipment, not just luxury padding.
Solid value proposition A 2015 model in this class represents good value, and the €3,000 deposit is reasonable. The real confidence boost here is Palm Yachting's 5-star rating, though it's based on just one review, so take that as a promising signal rather than definitive proof.
One honest note We don't have the charter base location listed, which matters for your journey planning as an international client. Before booking, confirm how far the base is from your arrival airport and whether Palm Yachting arranges transfers, that can make or break a long-haul trip.

The marina & destination
Based at Marina di San Vincenzo, in San Vincenzo, Italy. Kosi is operated by Palm Yachting.
Molo F.lli Magnani
Marina di San Vincenzo sits on the Tuscan coast and works well as a base for exploring the Tuscan Archipelago; you can reach Elba Island in under two hours and the smaller islands of Pianosa and Montecristo within a day's sail. Week 1 typically involves island-hopping south toward the Maremma coast or north toward Portovenere, with steady thermal winds and protected anchorages throughout. The marina itself offers good facilities and puts you within striking distance of both Corsica (via Elba) and the Italian mainland coast, making it ideal if your group wants variety in scenery and sailing conditions.
