Dufour 390 – Stella Marie IV

Sailing Yacht Charter in La Rochelle: the Dufour 390, combining comfort and performance under sail

Chartering a Dufour 390 in La Rochelle is the perfect opportunity to experience sailing aboard a modern, elegant, and high-performing yacht. Built in 2023 by Dufour Yachts, this 11.94-metre monohull combines generous space, onboard comfort, and excellent sailing ease. Ideal for coastal cruising or week-long getaways, she can accommodate up to 8 guests, while remaining highly manageable even with a reduced crew.

Powered by a 50 hp Volvo engine, the Dufour 390 offers effortless manoeuvring both under sail and under power. Her stable hull and responsive helm ensure smooth, enjoyable sailing — whether for a weekend departing from Port des Minimes in La Rochelle or a cruise towards Île de Ré, Île d’Aix, or Oléron.

Space and comfort on board

The Dufour 390 stands out for her generous volumes and bright interior. She features three double cabins, a convertible saloon, and a spacious head (bathroom), comfortably accommodating 6 to 8 guests.

The galley, located in the main saloon, is fully equipped with an oven, refrigerator, and electric kettle, making it ideal for preparing meals on board. Dufour’s refined finishes and premium materials create a warm and elegant atmosphere below deck.

On deck, the cockpit is designed for relaxation and conviviality: a cockpit table, outdoor shower, integrated plancha grill, and large sunbathing areas transform the Dufour 390 into a true living space at sea. The sprayhood and swim ladder further enhance comfort both underway and at anchor.

Performance and safety at sea

In terms of sailing, the Dufour 390 is designed to deliver an outstanding helming experience. Her fully battened mainsail and self-tacking jib allow for smooth, simplified manoeuvres, even with a small crew. The autopilot, bow thruster, GPS chartplotter, log/speed/depth instruments, and anemometer ensure precise and confident navigation.

Safety equipment includes a VHF radio, an electric windlass, as well as a dinghy for easy access to beaches and harbours. The yacht is certified for coastal cruising for up to 8 persons and semi-offshore cruising for 6 persons.

You may also arrange the services of a professional skipper, upon request through Cat & Go, for a fully relaxed cruising experience.
Please note: this yacht is not available for racing or regattas.
