Dufour 470 sailing yacht – Messina

Yacht Overview

Dufour 470 is a modern sailing yacht built in 2023, tailored for guests who want elegant days in the open water and effortless evenings at anchor. In Sicily, Italy, this 14.85 m sailboat feels composed and confident—its 4.74 m beam brings a calm, spacious comfort that luxury charters should deliver. With five cabins and accommodations for 8 berths in cabins plus 3 additional berths, it suits families and small groups perfectly. Eight guests can settle into their own private rhythm, while the extra berths invite friends—just like that, the sea becomes a shared celebration.

Step inside and the atmosphere stays refined. You’ll appreciate five toilets for practical ease during longer stays. The cockpit is designed for relaxed command: the self-tacking jib and autopilot reduce workload, and a bow thruster helps with precise, low-stress maneuvering in Sicilian harbors. A GPS plotter and GPS chart plotter keep navigation clear and immediate; you always know where the coastline is leading you.

Comfort is equally present beyond the helm. A bimini top softens the sun, while a sprayhood adds protection when the breeze changes its mind. After swimming, the bathing platform makes returns to the yacht feel seamless. There’s a cockpit shower for that fresh, post-dip reset—then the barbecue begins! The grill, sink in the cockpit, freezer, refrigerator, oven, stove, and kitchen utensils in the galley turn simple provisions into a proper table.

Sound follows you too: indoor speakers and outside speakers, supported by a complete sound system, set a warm mood. This is a charter and rental sailboat for those who prefer smooth sailing, thoughtful details, and Sicilian horizons—bright, salty, unforgettable!
