What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for larger groups The Dufour 520 Grand Large is a solid choice if you're chartering with family or friends, five cabins sleeping up to 10 makes it perfect for splitting costs among multiple couples or a multigenerational crew. The 2020 build year means everything's modern and well-maintained.
Well-equipped and practical This boat ticks the boxes that matter: bow thruster makes tight anchorages and marinas manageable, bimini and sprayhood keep you comfortable in sun and spray, and the inverter lets you run 220V appliances. It's a proper cruising platform rather than a racing machine, which suits relaxed sailing holidays.
Solid value proposition Boomerang's perfect 5-star rating across their fleet is encouraging, and the €4,500 deposit is reasonable for a ten-berth yacht. Pricing isn't listed here, but for a newer, spacious Dufour at a reliable operator, you're typically getting fair market value, especially if you're splitting the weekly rate among five or six people.
One practical note The base location isn't shown in your listing, so you'll want to confirm the charter location, factor in airport transfers and whether it's convenient to your nearest international hub. Once you know the base, you can properly assess flight connections and total logistics for your crew.
