Are you looking for an ocean-going yacht without the teething problems of a brand-new boat?
This liveaboard 2022 Dufour 530 has been cruising for the past two and a half years and is thoroughly shaken down. The owner and his partner sailed from the island of Malta, crossing the Atlantic in November 2023, and have since cruised throughout the Caribbean and along the U.S. East Coast, covering approximately 15,000 nautical miles.
The knowledge and experience gained during these extensive passages have resulted in a yacht that is now set up to a very high, thoughtfully upgraded standard.
