Dufour 470 Smart Electric

Dufour 470 electric – Hybrid electric autonomy at sea

Another winning creation by Felci Yacht Design, the 47-foot Dufour 470 sailing yacht is brimming with a classic style and sophisticated touches – true to the Dufour lineage of excellence in both aesthetics and performance. Sporting hard chines, a nearly flush deck and a broad stern, the Dufour 470 is a striking performance cruiser that will elevate the onboard experience, whether bluewater sailing or moored at your favorite anchorage.

Dufour’s hybrid Smart Electric version pairs advanced renewable energy production with an innovative electric propulsion system to create a comfortable, quiet and eco-friendly cruising solution that’s true to the brand’s vision.

Sustainable cruising solution

The Dufour 470 Smart Electric incorporates a hybrid electric motor and a bank of lithium-ion batteries. The battery bank powers the electric motor, and also serves as an energy source for all onboard systems. 

Solar and hydroelectric power is stored in the battery bank to provide energy systems while at anchor, while an engine-powered generator serves as a backup to maintain a minimum charge. An advanced energy management system lets you monitor and adjust energy production and expenditure from a convenient display console.

Equipped for your needs

The designers of the Dufour 470 electric yacht have taken versatility to the next level with customized versions to accommodate a variety of cruising lifestyles: an Easy version, Ocean version and Performance version. 

While many will choose the Dufour 470 monohull for its performance, she is also well-equipped for entertaining, with large bench seats that convert to sunbathing beds, and an aft cockpit area with large dinette and refrigerator. 

The drop-down transom serves well as a swim platform,  as well as providing space for using the outdoor galley, complete with plancha grill, sink, and plenty of counter space.

Dufour 470 Electric interior

The expansive salon and galley have the feel of a full-fledged yacht, both in the sheer volume, and the refined finishes. Large skylights, hatches, and side windows provide ample natural lighting.

The Dufour 470 Electric provides a choice of four interior layout configurations. The popular “front galley” layout offers 3-cabins and 2-baths with a forward owner’s cabin.

Layouts featuring a “longitudinal galley” to starboard can accommodate larger crews with options for 3-cabin/2-bath, 4-cabin/3-bath, or 4-cabin/4-bath layouts.

I want to express my thanks and appreciation to your team. I was able to observe how professional and courteous each and every one of your team was to my wife and I – along with the other charter customers getting ready to depart for their sailing adventures. I also want to say thanks for taking good care of our boat. It has been an active winter and spring charter season for our boat and it still looks brand new and well cared after by your maintenance crew.

From identifying the correct vessel and arranging finance to organizing surveys and negotiating pre-sale repairs with the seller, you handled everything, while keeping me fully informed and feeling like everything was in hand. Over a year in and I’m still happy.

I had been thinking for a few years about buying a catamaran, after numerous rentals, so I went to the Grand Pavois and met Gerry Jacob at the Dream Yacht Charter stand. He explained to me perfectly the advantages of the different rental management/boat sales contracts, and I signed for an Astrea 42 the same day. Since then, everything has gone according to plan, I’m delighted and can’t recommend the company enough!

I’ve had a great experience working with DreamYachts in the purchase of my Bali catamaran. Being somewhat nervous in making such a large purchase, I found it to be pleasant and calming in working with you, taking the time to answer my questions and explain the nuances of ownership of a boat. Thanks for making a terrifying experience very enjoyable!

We recently bought a catamaran, and as new sailors, we did not realize the magnitude of how complex it would be. Not only did they make the whole process seamless, they made it educational and enjoyable. They mentored us and were adamant in making sure we were informed every step of the way. We’re deeply grateful for their help.
