We’ve guided many guests in the Aegean, and the Dufour 44 in Athens is one of those sailboats that feels “ready” from the first moment. We recommend it for charter and rental sailing because it’s designed to host up to eight people comfortably in three cabins, with proper privacy and a practical layout for day trips and longer passages. Actually, we’ve noticed that groups like the balance between space and easy handling—especially when the wind picks up near Attica.
Built in 2026, this 13.67 m sailboat is a modern, purposeful cruiser. From our experience, that recent build date matters: systems integration and onboard comfort are noticeably cleaner and more consistent than on older units. The beam of 4.25 m gives stable interior volume, while three heads support the “eight in cabins” plan without turning the trip into a schedule.
For sailing convenience, we can say with confidence that the self-tacking jib reduces workload when you’re short-handed, and the roll mainsail helps keep sail handling straightforward. The GPS and VHF radio support safe navigation around busy coastal waters. For control, the autopilot and wind, speed, and depth instruments (with echo sounder) are exactly what our guests ask for when they want to relax after a busy swim stop!
Onboard comfort is equally important. We’ve seen that air conditioning, electric fans in the cabins, and shore connection 220 V make evenings in Athens’ warm season much easier. There’s also a generator, inverter power, and solar support for daily use. When you want to anchor and enjoy dinner, the barbecue grill and an equipped galley with utensils make the difference—no fuss, just good sailing and good food!
