Dufour 430 — Greece A recent addition to the Greek charter fleet, this Dufour 430 is the kind of yacht that invites you to sail her properly rather than simply sit at anchor. Clean, flush decks run forward without clutter, and she carries a genuinely well-specified inventory of upgraded equipment — the sort of detail that separates a working charter boat from one that has been thoughtfully prepared. Below, four cabins accommodate up to ten guests. Three are fitted with a double bed; the fourth is arranged with bunk beds, a practical solution for younger guests or a friend joining the crew for a leg of the itinerary. Her natural territory is the Aegean: the meltemi filling in through the afternoon, the short hop between islands, anchorages reached under sail rather than engine. She handles that rhythm well — responsive enough to reward an experienced hand on the helm, forgiving enough for a mixed group aboard. With crew handling navigation, provisioning and the daily logistics, the sailing stays the pleasure it should be. A straightforward, capable yacht for a week among the Greek islands.
