Dufour 530 sailing yacht – RHODES

Yacht Overview

Experience the calm precision of a modern cruising sailboat with the Dufour 530, built in 2022 and offered for private sailing charter and rental from Rhodes, Greece. Designed for comfort and confident handling, this 16.35 m sailboat turns every departure into a smooth, controlled glide—quiet systems, crisp lines, and practical deck gear. With 5 cabins and 8 berths in the cabins, plus 3 additional berths, it suits families and groups who want space without compromise. Five private toilets keep daily routines effortless, even when the itinerary is packed.

On board, navigation is clear and immediate. A GPS plotter and radar reflector support confident approaches, while VHF radio keeps communication reliable. Autopilot and a bow thruster reduce workload at low speed and in busy marinas. For effortless sail handling, full battens main with lazy jacks helps you set and stow with less effort. The electric winches and bimini top keep the cockpit comfortable under shifting skies.

Comfort is equally nautical. Air conditioning supports warm evenings, and a generator with hot water makes longer days feel effortless. You’ll find a refrigerator, a well-equipped galley with kitchen utensils and cutlery, and an inverter for onboard power. After swimming, use the swimming ladder and cockpit shower. A grill for barbecuing invites relaxed dinners at anchor.

Safety and convenience are built in: life belts, life raft, and essential instruments for wind, speed, and depth. Solar panels add practical energy. Tender availability includes an outboard engine for quick, dependable shore transfers. Whether you sail for a week of island hopping or a short coastal escape, the Dufour 530 is ready—Rhodes is your starting point, and the Aegean is your horizon!
