Dufour Monohulls

Discover Dufour sailing yachts

Since 1964, Dufour Yachts has established itself worldwide as an avant-garde, pioneering brand. The company found its beginning when young engineer and competition sailor, Michel Dufour, discovered the new construction material, polyester. By the 1980s, Dufour had ushered in a new era of luxury sailing yachts.

Over the years, Dufour continued to develop revolutionary designs with classically elegant lines and unprecedented interior comfort. Michel Dufour’s vision, trailblazing ideas, and legendary designs have not only revolutionized sailboat construction techniques but also made sailing more widely accessible.

Dufour Yachts are 100% made in the company’s La Rochelle, France shipyard, with nearly 400 yachts delivered each year. Today, Dufour monohulls range from 35- to 61-feet, including hybrid electric monohull models boasting industry-leading sustainability technologies.

Our line of Dufour yacht models

Legendary marine designer Umberto Felci is responsible for the modern Dufour aesthetic, with a distinctive style characterized by hard chines, a narrow waterline beam and elegant, integrated bowsprit. Dufour sailboats are crafted with a focus on performance, featuring optimized hull shapes, efficient keel designs, and balanced sail plans for excellent speed and handling. Inside, thoughtful ergonomic design ensures that spaces are practical and liveable, with well-organized galleys, ample storage, while high-quality finishes, such as fine woods, premium upholstery, and durable fittings, produce a luxurious feel and long-lasting durability.
