Dufour 360 Grand Large

We really enjoyed the boat and had a tremendous week exploring Portugal’s southern coastline.
She was a super bareboat charter. She has been well looked after and is equipped with the home essentials that a cruising boat should have. This was our fifth family yachting holiday and she had the most completely equipped galley and cabins. It was a pleasure to sail her and we achieved good speeds.
The Algarve coast appears to be a hidden gem for a cruising holiday with its delightful and variable coastline. There are plenty of boat only coves and beautiful estuaries, providing lots of opportunity to anchor. It is also easy to book into a marina's (if the crew need some steady ground and shops etc) with a phone call that morning. With the Algarve's consistent winds you can make good progress. She is a well maintained boat and a very enjoyable sail.

New boat, very confortable, easy to handle, and well equipped.
The Marina is nice, close to interesting places. and beeches.
The base manager is a nice guy and a good briefing is provided at the check-in..
We recommend.

The boat is lovely, very practical and with plenty of space for a 34 feet, easy to handle and brand new!
Paulo is a wonderful person. He has done a excellent brief that helped us to better enjoy our holidays in the Algarve.
The Marina de Portimão is a new marina with all the facilities one needs. The bar Nosoloagua at the marina’s beach is one of the most charming beach bars I ever been.
The Algarve coast is worthwhile to explore by boat. I recommend to visit Lagos, a typical Mediterranean village; Vilamoura, to enjoy the night bars and discos; and Ria Formosa and Culatra to enjoy the nature and the beach. From Lagos to Albufeira there are several small beaches only accessible by water. Water is quite transparent which will help you avoid dropping an anchor on top of any eventual rocks as you approach the beautiful cliffs around the beaches (99% is thin sand, but it is better to be safe than sorry). Don’t forget your snorkel!
