About Bareboat Sailing Yacht Dufour 405
The Dufour 405 is a well-established cruising platform built for independent sailors seeking accessible yet capable performance. Her design balances long-distance capability with day-to-day practicality, making her equally suited to families exploring the Mediterranean or experienced crews plotting longer passages.
Three cabins accommodate your group comfortably, whilst the saloon benefits from exceptional natural light via generous double portholes and full ventilation throughout. The yacht responds predictably to helm and sail trim, remaining manageable even with a small crew, and her shallow draft suits the scattered anchorages and tight moorings of the French coast.
Bareboat charters begin Saturday evening from Golfe Juan, with return by Friday late afternoon. Disposable bed linen is provided. Optional extras including a skipper, kayak, outboard auxiliary engine, and premium cotton linens are available upon request.

The Charter Experience
Charter from the Côte d'Azur and discover why the French Riviera remains the Mediterranean's most refined cruising ground. Sail between Îles d'Hyères and the Italian border, anchoring in protected bays, exploring ports like Sainte-Marguerite and Porquerolles, or pushing further east to Saint-Tropez. July and August bring predictable Mistral patterns; spring and autumn offer lighter airs ideal for leisurely exploration. The region rewards both purposeful sailing and unhurried afternoon stops ashore.
