Rikka | Dufour 48 sailboat rental

Located at Piombino - Marina Arcipelago Toscano in Tuscany, Italy, this base offers direct sailing access to Elba and the Tuscan Archipelago. Crafted by Dufour Yachts, the 2027 sailboat Dufour 48 Rikka measures 15.29 m (50 ft) in length overall with a draft of 2.35 m (8 ft). Her length provides noticeable extra space on board compared with smaller monohulls across her 5 cabins, making her available for bareboat or skippered charters.

Up to 13 people can stay on board across the 5 cabins and 1 crew cabin, accompanied by 3 heads equipped with an electric toilet. Electric fans in cabins promote airflow throughout the interior. Supporting battery health at anchor and extending time between port calls, Rikka features solar panels, an inverter, and a watermaker. A bathing platform ensures easy access to the water for swimming.

Under sail, the vessel is managed via 2 steering wheels, a full batten mainsail, an autopilot, and a VHF radio. Close-quarters handling is assisted by a bow thruster, while propulsion is delivered by a single 80 HP engine paired with a 250 L fuel tank and a 530 L water tank. This sailboat is operated and managed by the charter company Aladar Sail.
