Warriors Tale (Dufour 520 GL)

Perfect for larger groups. With 5 cabins sleeping 12, Warriors Tale suits families or friends wanting to explore together without cramping, rare to find this much comfortable space on a 15m yacht. The 2018 Dufour 520 is also known for being a genuine sailing yacht, not just a motorboat with sails.

Well-equipped for independence. Autopilot, chart plotter, bimini, and sprayhood mean you've got the essentials for relaxed cruising and self-sufficiency in the Mediterranean. The lazy jack and lazy bag are genuinely useful for shorthanded sailing, which matters when you've got a full boat.

Strong value proposition. At €6,720/week from Malta Charters, you're paying around €560 per person for 12 berths, genuinely competitive for a modern, spacious cruising yacht in a region that gets direct flights from most major European and US hubs. The €4,000 deposit is reasonable.

One practical note: A 12-berth boat demands either excellent crew dynamics or a qualified skipper, five cabins work brilliantly with friends, less so if some guests have never sailed. Confirm what crew qualifications Malta Charters expects before booking, especially if you're assembling a mixed-experience group flying in from abroad.
