About Bareboat Sailing Yacht Dufour 455

Based in Denia, this bareboat offers genuine sailing credentials with a semi-battened mainsail and furling genoa, inviting you to take the helm across the Costa de Alicante and beyond.
Four double cabins accommodate up to ten guests with practical comfort. The layout prioritises usable space rather than excess, leaving room for provisions, watersports equipment, and personal touches. An enclosed spray hood and bimini top provide protection during longer passages, while a cockpit shower adds daily convenience.
