Medea | Dufour 530 sailboat rental

Starting from Marina di Scarlino - Follonica in Tuscany, Italy, sailors enjoy direct access to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. Built in 2021 by Dufour Yachts, the Dufour 530 Medea is a monohull sailboat measuring 16.35 m (54 ft) with a draft of 2.3 m (8 ft). She is available for bareboat or skippered charter.

Her substantial length provides noticeable extra space on board compared with smaller monohulls, accommodating 6 cabins, 1 crew cabin, and 3 heads for up to 15 people. For extended time away from marinas, Medea is equipped with a watermaker to increase self-sufficiency between port calls, while solar panels assist with battery health during daytime anchorages. A fold-down bathing platform offers straightforward access to the water for swimming.

On deck and at the helm, the vessel features 2 steering wheels and a full batten mainsail, while navigation is managed using the onboard autopilot and VHF radio. Harbor handling is made simpler thanks to a bow thruster. Mechanical propulsion comes from a 75 HP engine, supported by a 440 L fuel tank and a 740 L water tank capacity. The sailboat is operated and managed by the charter company Aladar Sail.
