What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Built for groups The Dufour 530 "Anema" is perfect if you're chartering with family or friends, six cabins sleep up to 12 people comfortably, which spreads costs nicely across a larger party. It's a genuinely sociable boat without feeling cramped.
Well-equipped cruiser This 2021 model has excellent modern kit: water maker, generator, air conditioning, and a bow thruster make life easier in tight anchorages and marinas. The autopilot and chart plotter are solid for longer passages, and thoughtful touches like the sprayhood and bimini protect you from the elements.
Solid value proposition At €600 deposit with a 4.6-star operator rating, this feels like a dependable choice, the Dufour 530 is a proven design with good resale and charter demand. You're getting a modern, capable boat without paying premium superyacht prices.
One consideration With 12 potential berths, cabin sizes will vary, expect the larger cabins to be genuinely comfortable while smaller ones are cosier sleeping spots rather than day cabins. It's worth confirming which cabins suit your group before booking, especially if anyone needs private cabin space rather than shared berths.

Where Charters WentTop Stop: Poros, 74% of trips
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Athens south (Alimos and Piraeus) during the 2025 season. You can use it to see where those yachts spent their nights and compare that with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Aegina was the most common first night out, at 30% of trips with a recorded first night. On 40% of trips, the furthest point from base was within 40 to 60 nm, measured in a straight line.
