What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for couples and small groups Zephyrus suits families or friends seeking a comfortable, well-equipped 50-footer without breaking the bank. The three cabins sleep six, making it perfect for two couples or a small family wanting proper privacy rather than tight quarters.
Seriously well-appointed This 2019 Dufour punches above its weight with creature comforts: air conditioning, heating, dishwasher, electric winches, and even underwater lights for evening swims. The bow thruster and autopilot mean less physical demand on longer passages, while the teak deck and sprayhood add genuine luxury touches.
Strong value proposition At €5,120 per week, you're getting a newer boat with excellent systems and full galley kit, typically what you'd expect from a higher-end charter. The 5-star rating from Under the Heavens Sailing (though only 4 reviews) suggests reliable service and well-maintained equipment.
One practical note The charter base location isn't listed here, so check airport access and flight connections carefully before booking. Depending on where Zephyrus is based, your international arrival could mean a quick transfer or a longer drive, worth confirming with the operator upfront.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
