About Bareboat Sailing Yacht Dufour 405 GL
The Dufour 405 Grand Large earned European Boat of the Year recognition for good reason. This bareboat sailing yacht combines genuine performance credentials with the comfort and safety required for extended cruising. Her design prioritises both seaworthiness and livability, making her equally at home crossing open water or anchored in a secluded cove.
Below deck, the interior reveals considered craftsmanship. White leather upholstery complements warm wood joinery throughout, whilst a double-porthole saloon floods the cabin space with natural light and ventilation. Three cabins provide private quarters for your party, with a layout that rewards thoughtful design rather than mere square footage.
Highlights
- •Award-winning design proven across thousands of nautical miles and seasons
- •Teak decking and generous cockpit for comfortable time on deck
- •Light-filled saloon with superior ventilation and refined interior finishes
- •Straightforward handling and manoeuvring without compromising sailing performance
The Charter Experience
Charter this Dufour from Corsica and unlock waters few casual sailors explore. The island sits between the French Riviera and the open Mediterranean, offering protected anchorages, Genoese towers, and villages accessible only by sea. The yacht's responsive handling and efficient sail plan reward skilled seamanship, whilst her stability inspires confidence in less experienced crews. From Ajaccio, the Scandola Nature Reserve and Lavezzi Islands lie within easy reach. Summer conditions favour steady Mistral winds and Mediterranean clarity.
Suggested Itinerary
A week based from Ajaccio allows exploration north to the Îles Sanguinaires and Revellata lighthouse, or south towards Bonifacio's dramatic limestone cliffs. Experienced sailors may venture toward the Maddalena Islands; those preferring calmer waters can anchor near Porticcio's sheltered bays and explore Corsica's interior villages by tender.
