About Bareboat Sailing Yacht Dufour 412 Grand Large
The Dufour 412 Grand Large is a purpose-built cruising sailboat that rewards confident sailors with responsive handling and generous living space. Built in 2017, this three-cabin design balances performance under sail with the comfort standards expected of modern bareboat charters. Twin helms and a bow thruster ease manoeuvres in tight anchorages, whilst the saloon benefits from exceptional natural light and efficient galley facilities.
Sleeping six guests across three double cabins and two heads, the yacht suits small groups seeking independence on the water. Below decks, the layout flows naturally from the saloon to sleeping quarters, with plush furnishings throughout. A bimini top and functional cockpit make time spent topside equally inviting, whether you're cooking or simply watching the coast slip by.

The Charter Experience
Charter from Šibenik or nearby Biograd and explore one of Europe's least crowded sailing grounds. The Croatian Adriatic presents a rare combination of medieval heritage and unspoilt islands within convenient reach of Split. Head north towards the Kornati archipelago for isolated anchorages, or venture south to quieter island communities and the National Parks surrounding Šibenik. Charming waterfront restaurants and bars operate late into the evening, though the true appeal lies in empty anchorages and pristine water. Kayaks, paddle boards, and fishing tackle are available to enhance your time ashore and at rest.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week from Split can include the Šibenik National Parks, the Kornati islands, and the Dalmatian coast. Day sailing distances are modest, allowing genuine exploration of anchorages most bareboat fleets overlook. Plan for morning breezes and settled afternoons ideal for swimming and water sports.
