About Dufour

For more than 50 years, Dufour yachts have been synonymous with swift, joyful sailing and beautiful lines. But behind the gleaming finish is always an exceptionally stable and comfortable yacht that makes the perfect companion for any cruising programme.

Dufour’s origins in the passion of an amateur racer endure to this day in the boats’ sleek looks. From the early days of Michel Dufour’s first 21-foot Sylph to the new DUFOUR 61 flagship, these yachts have always been fast and responsive to sail.

When you buy a Dufour, you aren’t simply buying a boat. You are joining many thousands of previous owners who understand the importance of instinctive boat handling allied to comfort, safety and an elegant, balanced design.

Every DUFOUR yacht owner has different priorities and sailing aspirations. That’s why each model in the Dufour range offers a variety of layouts, equipment levels and rigging types to suit any cruising programme.
