Mar me Quer

Mar me Quer is a 2020 Dufour 360 Grand Large, a refined 10-metre cruising sailboat built for sailors who value both comfort and performance. Based at Marina de Portimão, this two-cabin vessel opens the door to Portugal's Algarve coast—a region of hidden coves, golden cliffs, and sheltered anchorages that reward both confident sailors and those seeking their first bareboat adventure. With sleeping berths for four and a responsive hull that handles coastal waters with ease, Mar me Quer suits small families, groups of friends, or couples looking to explore at their own pace. The interior balances practicality with livability. A well-appointed galley and single head serve the needs of a week-long cruise, while the two cabins provide genuine privacy without compromising the yacht's sailing characteristics. On deck, a bimini top shields the cockpit from the Portuguese sun during long lunches at anchor, and a swimming platform invites morning dips in crystalline water. An onboard refrigerator keeps provisions fresh, while the lazy bag simplifies sail handling—letting you focus on the rhythm of the sea rather than the mechanics of sailing. Navigation is straightforward with GPS chartplotting and an autopilot that manages the helm during longer passages, freeing time for relaxation or exploration. Cockpit speakers add ambiance to sundowner hours, and a 30 HP engine provides reliable auxiliary power when the wind falls light. The yacht's clean lines and well-maintained deck reflect a vessel ready for immediate departure. A week aboard Mar me Quer typically unfolds as a blend of gentle sailing and quiet anchorages—mornings spent ghosting between rocky outcrops, afternoons swimming from the platform, evenings watching the Algarve light fade over wine and local catch. This is sailing without pretension, where the destination matters less than the days spent between departure and return.
