Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect for groups The Dufour 56 Exclusive is genuinely excellent for larger parties or extended families, six cabins and eleven berths mean you can comfortably accommodate everyone without anyone doubling up uncomfortably. For a long-haul flight to Sardinia, this boat delivers serious value in spreading accommodation costs across the group.
Well-equipped modern vessel Built in 2021, "Silente" has some genuinely useful features: electric winches take the strain out of sail handling, solar panels help keep running costs down, and the hydraulic gangway is a thoughtful luxury for boarding. The teak deck and cockpit are lovely touches that elevate the experience beyond a purely functional charter.
Fair value proposition For a boat this size and age with six cabins, the pricing appears competitive, though we'd always recommend getting quotes from multiple operators to be sure. The deposit is reasonable and the equipment list is solid without being extraordinary.
One honest note The operator's 3.3/5 rating is noticeably mixed, which warrants caution; check recent reviews carefully to understand whether issues were one-offs or patterns. Before committing, contact them directly about availability, support response times, and any recent feedback from other charterers, especially important when flying internationally to rely on smooth handover and backup support.

Based at Punta Nuraghe, in Porto Rotondo, Italy. Silente is operated by Yachting in Sardinia.
Via G. Bonanno
Punta Nuraghe in Porto Rotondo sits on the northeast coast of Sardinia, placing you within easy reach of the Maddalena archipelago and the island-studded waters north toward Corsica. Week one typically takes you through sheltered granite-bound anchorages, with the Strait of Bonifacio offering strong northwesterlies that suit confident sailors; lighter winds and shorter hops suit those wanting gentler conditions in the first week. The marina itself provides good provisioning and repair facilities for boats heading into these granite-island cruising grounds.
