Bareboat Sailing Yacht Dufour 45

The Dufour 45 is a well-proven cruising platform that balances performance with liveable comfort. Built in 2010, this three-cabin, two-head design accommodates three couples in private quarters, making it ideal for small groups seeking independence on the water. The layout maximises usable space without compromise.

The interior benefits from generous natural light and practical galley and saloon arrangements. Three separate cabins ensure privacy, whilst the shared heads are positioned for convenience. The full-size aft quarter berth provides the owner's suite comfort, with the main cabin offering flexibility for additional guests if needed.

The generous cockpit and helmsman's seat are positioned to provide confident control in varying conditions. A sugar scoop stern facilitates straightforward boarding and water access, a thoughtful detail for bareboat charterers managing their own movements.

Bareboat sailing from Ajaccio positions you at the heart of Corsican coastal exploration. The island offers protected anchorages, granite-backed coves, and well-established sailing grounds ranging from the Îles Sanguinaires to the approaches towards the Calanques. The Dufour 45's moderate dimensions and predictable handling suit both the open Tyrrhenian passages and the intricate inshore navigation that characterises the region.
