About Bareboat Sailing Yacht Dufour 405
The Dufour 405 is a family sailing yacht designed for those seeking genuine autonomy on the water. Built in 2010, she accommodates up to 8 guests across 3 cabins, making her equally suited to couples exploring at leisure or small groups sharing the experience. Her lightweight saloon, fitted with generous double portholes, floods the interior with natural light and air circulation that keeps the cabin fresh throughout warm Mediterranean days.
Handling is intuitive, even when sailing shorthanded. The electric windlass, autopilot, and complete navigation suite including GPS plotter and VHF radio mean you retain full command without excessive physical demand. A bimini top provides respite from the sun whilst maintaining unobstructed sightlines. This is a bareboat charter, meaning you have complete freedom to set your own schedule, choose your anchorages, and explore the coastline without restriction.

- •Electric windlass and responsive steering enable confident, shorthanded sailing

The Charter Experience
The Amalfi Coast rewards independent sailing. Colourful villages cascade down cliffs at Positano and Ravello; Salerno offers authentic maritime culture away from crowds. You'll find secluded coves between Tropea and the Emerald Grotto, pristine water for swimming, and evening anchorages where the coastline glows amber at sunset. Provisioning is straightforward at Salerno, Amalfi, and smaller ports along the route, each adding character to your voyage.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might depart Salerno, reach Positano by afternoon (a natural overnight stop), continue south to Tropea with its dramatic red cliffs and protected anchorages, and return via Amalfi town and the Emerald Grotto. The coastline is compact enough for leisurely daily passages and unhurried exploration ashore.
