Dione is a 2025 Dufour 470 sailing yacht based in Cannigione, Sardinia—a sun-drenched anchorage on the Costa Smeralda where emerald waters meet granite cliffs and the sailing season stretches long and reliable. This five-cabin vessel accommodates up to twelve guests across three well-appointed heads, making her ideal for extended family gatherings or groups of friends seeking a week of genuine Mediterranean sailing without compromise. From her home port, you'll have direct access to some of Italy's most coveted cruising grounds: the Maddalena Archipelago's protected anchorages, the windswept granite formations of the Bocche di Bonifacio, and the quieter coves along the Gallurese coast where few tourists venture.

A week aboard Dione unfolds with ease, thanks to thoughtful systems designed for comfort and self-sufficiency. The water maker and solar panels mean you can anchor in remote bays without concern for supplies, while the bow thruster and electric winches reduce the physical demands of sailing—allowing everyone to enjoy the experience, whether experienced sailors or newcomers. The cockpit, finished in teak and shaded by a bimini, becomes your living room at sea, equipped with cushions and a spray hood for protection during morning passages. Three electric heads ensure privacy and convenience for your group, and the refrigerator keeps provisions fresh for onboard meals or provisioning stops in charming harbor villages.

The swimming platform and tender open access to hidden anchorages and shallow bays where the water is so clear you can see the seabed ten metres down. GPS chartplotting and autopilot handle the navigation, freeing you to focus on the rhythm of the sea, the quality of light on the water, and the company around you. Whether you're a seasoned skipper or chartering your first bareboat, Dione's modern systems and generous layout create space for everyone to find their rhythm.

Imagine seven nights anchored off Spargi Island at sunset, the granite peaks glowing rose-gold, a cool drink in hand, and the gentle clink of halyards the only sound carrying across the water.
