Holiday yachts built for those who love to sail
In summer, many crews focus on shared experiences, swimming in bays, and enjoying life on board. But even on a summer vacation, there's nothing better than being actively under sail – trimming the sails, sporty tacking, or simply the feeling when the yacht glides elegantly through the waves.
For those who value active sailing and especially for those who prioritize sporty performance – we offer a wide selection of yachts designed precisely for this: comfortable, high-performance, and even regatta-tested.
Our Dufour 41 Performance Yachts – Proven One-Design Class at the Kornati Cup
The Dufour 41 Performance is the latest generation of sporty charter yachts in our fleet and has already proven itself in the one-design class of the Kornati Cup. With ten identical yachts, it is perfect for sporty crews, regatta participants, or ambitious cruising sailors who value performance and comfort.
At the same time, the Dufour 41 Performance with a full-batten mainsail is also an ideal holiday ship – it combines sporty sailing with thoughtful comfort, modern design, and generous space. This makes it the perfect choice for those who don't want to compromise on performance or relaxation during their sailing holiday.
Top Sailing Fun with Maximum Comfort on the Dufour 41
A spacious cockpit with bimini top, bow thruster, solar panels, a modern BOS power management system, a large bathing platform, and – as an absolute highlight – an integrated barbecue grill at the stern ensure the best sailing comfort and relaxed life on board.
A yacht that shows: Sportiness and vacation are not mutually exclusive.
And for those who prefer a furling mainsail instead of a full-batten mainsail, the sister ship, the Dufour 41, is available. It offers the same comfort and space, without performance special equipment for relaxed holiday sailing.

- Special Plus: The traveler in the cockpit. Even though some believe it might be a nuisance during summer vacation – the opposite is true: It is optimally placed, does not interfere with walking, and allows the helmsman to have precise sail handling – even without the crew's help. Ideal for families, couples, or small crews who want to be sporty and independent.
- The sailing yacht is about 12.35 m long and has a draft of 2.40 m. With three double cabins, it offers space for six people (maximum occupancy 6+2). Two bathrooms with showers provide the necessary comfort on board. A special highlight: The exceptionally large bathing platform – perfect for relaxed swimming stops and jumping into the crystal-clear water.
The Bavaria Cruiser 41S yachts are stationed at the new Pitter Charter base in Marina Hramina on Murter. From here, sailing crews start directly into the heart of the Dalmatian island world. The location is ideal for exploring the numerous islands and bays of the region – whether towards the Kornati, south to Šibenik, or further to the islands of Hvar and Vis.
