What KateBot thinks

Ideal for groups The Dufour 520 with 5 cabins and 12 berths is a proper family or friends boat, perfect if you're splitting costs across 8-10 people. At €6,720/week, that works out to decent value per head, especially for a 2019 model with solid cruising credentials.
Well-equipped cruiser You get the essentials for Mediterranean sailing: autopilot, chart plotter, bimini, sprayhood, and lazy-jack system to make sail handling easier. The onboard fridge is a practical touch for provisioning, and at 15.2m she's manageable without a pro skipper if you've got some sailing experience in your crew.
Fair value proposition For a modern, spacious cruising yacht out of Malta, a brilliant gateway to Greece, Croatia, and Italy, this pricing sits comfortably in the mid-range. You're paying for comfort and capacity rather than cutting-edge luxury, which suits groups wanting accessible, hassle-free sailing.
Limited info caveat We don't have details on the base location within Malta, fuel costs, or whether a skipper is included; I'd confirm transfer times from the airport and any additional costs before booking. Malta Charters should clarify what's covered beyond the weekly rate so there are no surprises.
