About Bareboat Sailing Yacht Dufour 560
The Dufour 560 Grand Large represents a masterclass in modern yacht design, balancing performance sailing with genuine cruising comfort. Built in 2015, this flagship model showcases Dufour's distinctive aesthetic with its sweeping lines, signature fixed hatch with angled corners, and horizontal side windows that define contemporary elegance.
Her hull design reflects serious engineering: powerful aft sections, low wetted surface area, and a high ballast ratio that ensures stability without compromising the responsive sailing experience. The sail plan, inspired by open 60 racing principles, is engineered for maximum efficiency with minimal crew effort. Key elements include a fixed bowsprit, self-tacking jib, and forward-inclined boom that make handling intuitive whether you're racing or cruising.
Accommodation comprises five cabins and three heads, comfortably sleeping up to 12 guests. The open plan layout and abundant natural light define the interior, creating spaces that feel both purposeful and refined.

The Charter Experience
Charter the Dufour 560 Grand Large as a bareboat from Bodrum, Gocek, or Marmaris and explore the Aegean's most compelling waters. The Turkish coast offers protected anchorages, warm light, and the kind of sailing that rewards both seasoned helms and enthusiastic crew. This yacht handles variable conditions effortlessly, whether you're making for secluded bays or trading pace across open water.
Suggested Itinerary
A week bareboat typically spans the Turquoise Coast, starting from Gocek's islands, pushing south to Ekincik and Dalyan's river anchorages, then west toward Fethiye and the Twelve Islands. Light thermal winds in summer and protected coves make this region ideal for crews seeking both sailing substance and coastal discovery.
