Discover the Brazilian coast from YBYTU, a 2024 Dufour 470 sailboat based at Marina Farol de Paraty. This elegant vessel offers the perfect balance of modern comfort and sailing performance, accommodating up to nine guests across four generously appointed cabins. Paraty itself—a colonial gem nestled between the Atlantic and the lush Serra da Bocaina mountains—serves as your gateway to one of South America's most enchanting cruising grounds, where emerald waters meet hidden coves and pristine anchorages dot the coastline.

Life aboard YBYTU combines ease with authentic exploration. The yacht's thoughtful design includes air conditioning throughout, a well-stocked refrigerator, and a functional galley that makes provisioning local ingredients a pleasure rather than a chore. Twin heads with full facilities ensure comfort for your entire party, whether you're a family seeking adventure or a group of friends looking to escape the ordinary. The spacious cockpit, sheltered by a bimini and sprayhood, becomes your social hub—a place to gather over morning coffee, watch the sunset, or plot the next day's anchorage while the GPS and autopilot handle the navigation.

A typical week unfolds with unhurried rhythm. You might sail south toward the Emerald Coast's protected waters, where jungle-clad islands rise dramatically from the sea, or explore northward to quieter anchorages favored by locals. The 60-horsepower engine ensures reliable performance in variable conditions, while electric winches make sail handling effortless, leaving more time to swim, kayak, or simply drift. Evenings bring fresh seafood from waterfront markets, grilled on deck as dolphins play in the distance and the mountains turn gold in the fading light.

Imagine anchoring in a secluded bay, the only boat in sight, as the sun melts into the horizon and the stars emerge over the water—this is what a week aboard YBYTU delivers.
