About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Ideal for larger groups This 2023 Dufour 48 catamaran suits families or friends wanting spacious, comfortable sailing without cramped quarters, five cabins sleeping 11 makes it perfect for multi-family charters or small group trips. The modern build year means you're getting current-generation comfort and reliability.
Well-equipped for independence The standout features here are genuinely useful: water maker (crucial for longer passages), generator, air conditioning, and a full complement of toys like snorkeling gear and dinghy. The swimming platform and bimini shade are essentials for tropical cruising, and autopilot takes the strain out of longer days on the water.
Fair value proposition A newly-built 48ft catamaran with this specification and capacity represents solid value in the charter market, you're splitting costs across more people, which really helps with economics. Eolian Sailing's perfect 5/5 rating (though based on just three reviews) suggests reliable service and well-maintained vessels.
One practical note The operator information is incomplete, we don't have the charter base location listed, so you'll need to confirm where you'll actually sail from and factor in your international travel time to reach it. That deposit of €4,500 is reasonable for a catamaran of this size and spec, but always verify what's included in final terms.

The marina & destination
Based at Capo d'Orlando Marina, in Capo d'Orlando, Italy. Paris (Dufour Catamaran 48) is operated by Eolian Sailing.
Contrada S. Gregorio
Capo d'Orlando Marina sits on Sicily's north coast, offering immediate access to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands; week one typically involves motor-sailing or light reaching to Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with the prevailing northwesterlies allowing comfortable passages of 15-25 nautical miles between anchorages. The marina provides a practical base for exploring protected anchorages around Panarea and Stromboli before returning westward along the Sicilian coast toward the Cefalù area, giving you a mix of overnight anchorages, small harbors, and volcanic scenery without long open-water passages.
