About Bareboat Catamaran Dufour 48
The Dufour 48 redefines social sailing with a design philosophy that elevates outdoor living. Twin hulls provide exceptional stability and interior volume, whilst the flybridge, expansive bow, and wide cockpit create distinct gathering spaces across 360 degrees of deck. Four double cabins and two additional berths accommodate 12 guests comfortably, making her ideal for families or small flotillas seeking bareboat autonomy.
Below deck, the saloon functions as the social nexus, anchored by a galley with generous work surface and a lounge designed for conversation and ease. Each cabin features individual climate control and fans, whilst four heads service the accommodation efficiently. This 2021 model reflects contemporary catamaran thinking: stability over speed, socialising over solitude, and thoughtful distribution of guests across multiple outdoor zones rather than concentration in a single cockpit.
Highlights
- •Twin flybridge and bow design separates guests into natural gathering zones without crowding
- •Four heads and individual climate control eliminate the compromises typical of monohull bareboat charters
- •Self-tacking jib and autopilot reduce physical demand, widening access to sailors of varying skill
- •Alimos base unlocks both Cycladic island hopping and Saronic Gulf cruising within a single week
The Charter Experience
Departing from Alimos Marina near Athens, you navigate waters steeped in millennia of history. The Cyclades Islands unfold with each sailing day—whitewashed villages clinging to volcanic caldera, restaurants serving fresh catch metres from the waterline, and anchorages protected from the seasonal winds. The Saronic Gulf, closer to the capital, offers similar charm with easier logistics. Whether you elect to sail with a licensed skipper or independently (experience required), the Dufour 48's stability and visibility transform multi-day passages into genuine pleasure rather than endurance tests.
Suggested Itinerary
A seven-day itinerary typically begins with sheltered Saronic waters—Poros, Hydra, and Spetses offer protected anchorages and excellent provisioning. By mid-week, passage to the Cyclades becomes feasible; Paros and Antiparos provide superb holding and cultural immersion. The return leg allows flexibility to revisit favourite anchorages or explore secondary islands based on weather and crew preference.
