About this boat

Penelope is a gorgeous and spacious Dufour 430 whose primary goal is comfort and luxury. She is equipped with 3 cabins and 2 heads, including a nice master queen cabin in the bow section with a separate shower and toilet, providing plenty of space for up to 6 people. Her deck is perfectly optimized with easy onboard movement and extensive premium equipment. Enjoy some time in the sun on her spacious cockpit or the fold-down transom that turns into a swim platform and a nice outdoor kitchen, built for your convenience. Like all of our luxury yachts, she features a variety of amenities, including 2 refrigerators (1 box and one sith double drawers) a large dining table in the downstairs salon, air conditioning, generator and Starlink. An authentic cruiser with exceptional seafaring qualities, she offers a mix of Italian styling and French manufacturing techniques. She is naturally elegant and stands out with her sleek hull and slightly higher, rounded rear bilge to contrast with the streamlined hull recess. She also includes a full size Genoa/mainsail furl.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?
Yes — every boat on charter.boats is insured by its operator; we require it. The policy covers the vessel for fire, collision and third-party liability. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit.
How much will fuel cost?
Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~60 HP engine burns roughly 4.8 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 101 L ≈ €143 at €1.42/L — scale it to your own plans.
Do I need a sailing licence in British Virgin Islands?
Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: No formal sailing licence is required, but you must submit a sailing résumé proving recent experience on a similar-sized yacht for company approval.
