Dufour 500 GL sailing yacht – St. Martin

Yacht Overview

For guests seeking a reliable charter sailboat in the Eastern Caribbean, the Dufour 500 GL is a standout choice in St. John, Antigua and Barbuda. Built in 2016, this modern 14.75 m sailing yacht is designed for comfortable days at anchor and confident passages under sail. The hull is 4.8 m wide, giving a stable feel when the breeze builds—smooth, steady, and easy to manage.

With 5 cabins and 10 berths, the layout is made for group holidays without turning the trip into a compromise. Two well-positioned toilets support day-to-day convenience aboard, especially during busy anchoring stops around the islands. The spacious cabin arrangement keeps a clean flow through the interior, so everyone can settle in quickly after a swim.

Sail handling is practical and efficient. The full battens mainsail holds its shape for consistent power, while the roller headsail system with roll genoa lets the crew adjust sail area fast as wind strength changes. In St. John’s waters, where conditions can shift between sheltered coves and open stretches, these sail features matter. You feel it immediately—short adjustments, less fuss, more sailing.

This sailboat is offered for charter and rental, ideal for captains and crews who want a performance-oriented yet guest-friendly platform. Whether you plan a relaxing cruise along the coastline or a longer island hop, the Dufour 500 GL brings modern comfort, proven build quality, and dependable sailing capability. Book it for your next Antigua sailing week—quiet mornings, bright sails, and rewarding sails at every turn!
