About this boat

The Dufour 445 “Grand Large” is a sailboat that will take you far with a great sense of security. Regardless of the weather conditions, this is a boat that loves a breeze. It is the ideal vessel in our fleet for long crossings to the Scilly Islands, England, or Ireland, as well as for winter sailing. The Dufour 445 GL is equipped with an EPIRB beacon and the necessary equipment for offshore sailing (> 60 nautical miles). The flagship of the Loc Voile Armor fleet can accommodate up to 10 people in comfort and safety for long or very long journeys. The design of the Dufour 445 GL allows it to comfortably carry up to 10 crew members in a spacious and well-arranged sailboat for life at sea. Inside, discover four sumptuous double cabins (2 in the bow and 2 in the stern), meticulously designed to combine comfort and functionality. Its long galley and wide saloon provide a very comfortable living space on board. The Dufour 445 “Grand Large” is definitely seagoing. With its battened mainsail, roller-furling genoa, symmetrical spinnaker on a pole, and two storm sails on a removable stay (storm jib and solent), you will feel safe even if conditions worsen.

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, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. Operator terms: The operator has comprehensive insurance on the vessel, subject to a deductible. It covers civil liability, theft, damage following a sea event and total loss.
How much will fuel cost?
Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~75 HP engine burns roughly 6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 126 L ≈ €246 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.
Do I need a sailing licence in France?
Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: No formal licence is legally required to skipper a bareboat sailing yacht, though charter companies expect a sailing résumé and usually an ICC or equivalent.
Can I bring my dog or other pet on board?
Unfortunately not. Animals are not allowed on our boats, for hygiene reasons.
What happens if the weather is bad during my charter?
If Météo-France issues a special weather bulletin for force 7 winds or more over more than half of your charter, we give you a credit for the full rental, valid for 12 months. Otherwise, days you can't sail because of weather are not refunded.
Where am I allowed to sail?
Our insurance covers the area between 30°N and 60°N and between 20°W and 20°E. To go beyond it you need our permission and must pay the extra insurance premium, otherwise the boat is not insured there.
Do we need to prove our sailing experience?
Yes. When you book we ask for your nautical CV, any navigation licences and your crew list. If we think your crew's skills aren't enough to keep everyone and the boat safe, we can require a professional skipper at your expense, whatever certificates you hold.
What should I do if something breaks or gets damaged during my trip?
Call us straight away. Our technician is reachable by phone 7 days a week in season, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., to give advice or arrange an intervention. Note down any damage or repairs in the logbook, and report any insurance claim immediately.
