The Perfect Balance for Your Sailing Week

The Dufour 460 Grand Large is a well-balanced sailing yacht combining comfort, space and ease of use. It is an ideal choice for families or groups who want to explore the Aeolian Islands with a reliable and spacious boat, without moving into a larger category.

Based in Milazzo, just a few hours from the islands, it allows for smooth itineraries and relaxed sailing throughout the week.

Navigation & Performance

Designed for easy and comfortable sailing, the Dufour 460 GL is equipped with a furling mainsail, bow thruster, autopilot and GPS plotter.
These features make navigation simple and efficient, even during longer passages between the islands, offering a good balance between performance and ease of handling.

Exterior Spaces

The yacht offers well-designed outdoor areas, perfect for life at sea. The cockpit provides a comfortable and elegant space for relaxing, dining and enjoying the view.
Equipped with a bimini for shade and a gas barbecue, the exterior is ideal for spending long days outdoors, from sailing to evenings at anchor.

Interior Comfort

The interior layout is designed to offer both comfort and privacy. With 4 double cabins and additional berths in the saloon, the yacht can accommodate up to 10 guests.
