About Bareboat Sailing Yacht COUP DE COEUR
Coup de Coeur is a Dufour 325 that combines responsive handling with generous living space, ideal for those seeking to navigate the French Riviera on their own terms. Built in 2015, she accommodates up to 6 guests across three cabins, offering the comfort of a larger vessel within a design engineered for single-handed operation.
The layout prioritises usable deck space, with the mainsail tackle positioned on the roof to keep the full-length cockpit seats unobstructed. Below deck, the interior reflects the builder's reputation for practical cruising design, with sleeping and galley areas positioned to maximise both comfort and ease of movement underway.
Highlights
- •Responsive sailing characteristics suited to variable Mediterranean conditions and single-handed operation
- •Three-cabin layout sleeping 6, with full galley and heads for extended self-catering cruises
- •GPS and autopilot reduce fatigue during longer passages or night watches
- •Shallow draft of 1.55m permits access to protected anchorages and smaller harbours beyond mainstream charter waters
The Charter Experience
Charter Coup de Coeur for an independent adventure along the Côte d'Azur, where shallow anchorages between Antibes and Saint-Tropez are within reach. The French Riviera rewards bareboat sailors with sheltered coves, lively port towns, and the option to explore at your own pace. Morning departures from Cannes or Sainte-Marguerite allow afternoon arrival at quieter anchorages; longer passages to the Îles d'Hyères suit those comfortable with overnight sailing.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might begin in Cannes, sailing east to the Îles de Lérins before pushing further to Saint-Tropez and its surrounding anchorages. Alternatively, head west towards Antibes and the Îles d'Hyères, where deeper exploration of Port-Cros or quieter south-facing bays rewards those who venture beyond the main tourist ports.
