Owners Comments and Boat History
The owner purchased Steel Away new and customized her with extended cruising in mind, opting for the shallow draft version to allow access to more remote anchorages without the limitations of the standard keel.
That retirement dream was fulfilled with an unforgettable Caribbean-hopping adventure.
Today, she is under the watchful care of Waypoint Charters, receiving the highest level of maintenance to ensure that other Dufour 530 enthusiasts can enjoy sailing the BVI. With the option to remain in the charter fleet for the upcoming season, ownership offers an excellent way to offset costs while guaranteeing that your yacht is professionally maintained, fully prepared, and ready to sail the moment you arrive. The charter company is flexible and happy to work with owners' schedules.
