Ariel is the Dufour 470 for owners who actually want to go places. Beyond the usual four-cabin comfort package, she carries a generator and radar — a genuinely passage-ready specification — alongside diesel heating, solar and a bow thruster, so longer, more independent cruising is on the table, not just marina-hopping.
Built in 2023 and lying in Vodice at the centre of the coast, she balances owner ambition with charter appeal. Through Angelina charter management the boat is looked after and booked professionally while you take the weeks and the longer trips you bought her for.

A baseline estimate for Ariel: our standard planning assumptions — 21 charter weeks at 1.30% of her price per week, 35% management fee, 7.85% owner-borne costs — applied to her asking price. Her personal feasibility study replaces these with her real charter rates, costs and VAT treatment.
The arithmetic: kept private − € 25.889 out of pocket · in charter management + € 32.628 — the difference, rounded, is the figure above. Berth, insurance and upkeep are owed either way; the season pays them while you are not on board.
Baseline estimate using our standard planning assumptions, not this yacht's measured performance — actual results vary with season, occupancy, personal-use weeks and market conditions. The full input VAT refund on purchase via a Croatian d.o.o. is additional and modelled separately in the full feasibility study. This is not a financial projection or guarantee. How we calculate these.
The full picture for Ariel — charter income, operating costs, financing on your terms, VAT recovery and exit value — comes in a per-yacht feasibility study. Prefer to talk it through first? We're glad to, and a sea trial from Vodice can be arranged when you're ready to inspect.
