About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups This 2024 Dufour 56 is an excellent choice if you're bringing a larger party, six cabins and eleven berths mean you can split costs comfortably across family or friends. The modern build year guarantees reliable systems and newer navigation tech, which matters when you're flying in from abroad.
Well-equipped modern cruiser You get serious creature comforts here: electric winches take the strain out of sail handling, hydraulic gangway makes boarding effortless, and solar panels plus inverter keep power flowing without constantly running the engine. The teak deck and swimming platform add that premium feel, while the chart plotter and TV keep everyone happy during downtime.
Fair value, but operator concern The €4,500 deposit is reasonable for a boat this size and spec, and Sardinia is a stunning cruising ground. However, the operator's 3.3/5 rating from 19 reviews is a red flag, that's noticeably lower than industry standard, suggesting potential issues with service, communication, or boat condition. I'd recommend reading through those reviews carefully and asking specific questions about maintenance standards before committing.
Missing base location detail The charter base isn't listed in your data, so confirm exactly where you'll pick up and how far from Sardinia's main airports (Cagliari or Olbia) it sits, this affects your travel day significantly when flying long-haul.

The marina & destination
Based at Marina di Portisco, in Portisco, Italy. Albus is operated by Yachting in Sardinia.
Str. Panoramica Costa Smeralda Km0,100
Marina di Portisco sits on Sardinia's northeast coast and provides excellent access to the Maddalena archipelago, reachable in 15-20 nautical miles on a typical northwesterly breeze. Week 1 charters work well as sheltered day hops between granite-studded islands with good holding in sandy bays, or longer passages south to the Costa Smeralda if conditions favour. The marina itself offers full facilities and lies close enough to Porto Cervo for provisioning, making it a practical base for both relaxed cruising and more ambitious sailing.
