Saro (Dufour 530)

Perfect for larger groups. With 6 cabins and 13 berths, Saro is ideal if you're bringing family or friends, you won't feel cramped, and the convertible table means flexible dining. This is a genuine crew boat, not a couple's getaway.

Well-equipped modern cruiser. The 2023 Dufour 530 comes loaded: bow thruster for tight anchorages, autopilot to ease long passages, air conditioning (a real comfort in Mediterranean heat), and a generator so you're not living rough. Lazy bag and lazy jacks make sail handling genuinely easier with a bigger group who may be less experienced.

Reasonable value proposition. At €600 deposit, the entry cost is modest, though you'll want to confirm the weekly charter rate with Lascatutto, as that will determine true value. For a modern, well-appointed 16-metre with this cabin count, it's competitive if the daily rate is fair.

One honest note: We don't have the charter base location listed here, so you'll need to check sailing distance from your nearest major airport, European bases vary wildly in access. That said, if Lascatutto is established and English-speaking, logistics shouldn't be a headache for international clients.
