Dori is a 2025 Dufour 470 sailing yacht based at Marina Portorosa in Furnari, Sicily—a prime departure point for exploring the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands. This four-cabin, eight-berth vessel is built for groups and families seeking a week of genuine sailing freedom without compromise on comfort or seamless modern navigation. With four heads and generous living space, Dori accommodates up to eight guests across four well-appointed cabins, making her ideal for two families or a close group of friends who want both privacy and shared adventure.

Aboard Dori, you'll find the essentials for an independent, self-sufficient voyage. The integrated GPS chartplotter and radar guide you confidently through Mediterranean waters, while the bow thruster simplifies tight anchorages and marina approaches. A 60-horsepower engine ensures reliable propulsion in lighter winds, and the autopilot lets you maintain course while you relax on the spacious cockpit with its comfortable cushions. Below deck, the galley is equipped with refrigeration and a freshwater system fed by an onboard desalinator—critical for longer passages and remote anchorages. Solar panels and a voltage converter provide sustainable power management, so you can charge devices and run essentials without constant engine use. Wi-Fi keeps you connected to essentials, while the radio-CD system sets the mood during evening gatherings.

A typical week unfolds between hidden coves, small fishing villages, and the dramatic volcanic coastlines of the Aeolian archipelago. The swimming platform and tender dinghy open access to pristine anchorages where commercial traffic rarely ventures. Whether you're a confident skipper or sailing with a professional crew, Dori's modern systems and thoughtful layout—from the sprayhood protecting the cockpit during squalls to the well-appointed heads—create the foundation for both relaxed cruising and genuine exploration. Mornings bring espresso and fresh pastries from nearby villages; afternoons dissolve into snorkelling sessions and lazy drifts between islands; evenings gather the group around the table with local wine and seafood, anchored beneath darkening skies where the stars emerge undimmed.
