Crewed Sailing Yacht ZEPHYR

ZEPHYR is a Dufour 525 Grand Large built to deliver responsive sailing performance across the French Riviera. Her owner maintains her to exacting standards, ensuring a well-appointed vessel for guests seeking authentic blue-water cruising rather than floating resort excess. She accommodates 6 guests across 3 cabins, each appointed with queen-sized beds and full en-suite facilities (except one guest cabin).

Below deck, the layout prioritises comfort at sea. An L-shaped galley opens generously to the saloon, preventing galley work from isolating the crew. The main saloon features warm wood finishes, abundant natural light through portholes, and a portside lounge sofa paired with a concealed, front-opening lit bar. The owner's cabin includes a small desk for those who work remotely during summer breaks.

The teak-lined cockpit seats 6 for dining and conversation, with clear sightlines forward and the space to manage sails without encumbrance. A Gommonautica RIB tender with outboard allows exploration of anchorages and secluded beaches; snorkelling equipment is provided.

Charter from Port Grimaud, Cogolin, or St Tropez, depending on your starting point and preferences. Day charters run 10:00–17:00; longer charters allow you to anchor off Porquerolles, discover the Îles d'Hyères, or cruise toward the Esterel. The skipper handles all sail work, navigation, and seamanship, freeing you to swim, read, or take lunch ashore at Pampelonne Beach. The Riviera's protected bays and consistent summer winds make ZEPHYR's responsive hull feel alive under sail.
