DUFOUR Yachts






Dufour are Europe's fourth largest boat builder. Although they produce a lot of boats they remain focused on quality and have two ranges of finely put together yachts setting themselves above the mass producers. The Dufour Grand Large range feature boats from 52' - 32' with the focus on cruising. The Dufour Performance range from 45'-34' are still very much cruising yachts but they have added performance.

Dufour yachts have achieved European Yacht of the Year status. The latest awarded to the DUFOUR 405 Grand’Large -'European Boat of the Year 2010'.

The Dufour range are aimed towards the more discerning buyer looking for a higher standard of quality and performance in a production boat. These boats remain good value for money whilst having exceptional sailing qualities and a high level of design and comfort for a most rewarding cruising experience.
