Dufour 44

Dufour 44 monohull – A true cruising sailboat

The result of the dedicated collaboration of Felci Yachts Design and the Dufour design team, the new Dufour 44 is an authentic midsize cruiser that strikes the perfect balance of creature comforts and excellent seafaring qualities. Borrowing successful elements from the Dufour 41 as well as larger Dufour sailboats, the 44 demonstrates big boat sensations with all the thrill of a highly responsive and maneuverable yacht.

Climb aboard this perfectly-sized 44-foot cruiser with unparalleled volume and take your sailing lifestyle to the next level.

Optimized handling

The hull is designed to maximize both speed and stability, making it ideal for coastal cruising as well as offshore voyages. Optimized for easy handling with a limited crew, the Dufour 44 sailboat is equipped with dual ergonomic helm consoles, self-tacking jib, and thrusters. Additionally, the deck space between the helm stations and the winches has been enlarged to allow easier maneuvering, and a step to reach the side deck serves dual purpose as a locker for the lines.

First-class comfort

The standout performance and agility of the Dufour 44 does not mean that onboard comfort was neglected. On the contrary, the voluminous and well-appointed interior by Luca Arizio was designed for exceptional comfort and relaxation at sea.

The yacht’s wide beam provides a spacious cockpit with plenty of room for comfortable movement and seating for at least six people – ideal for socializing and relaxation whether underway or at anchor.

The enlarged dropdown bathing platform has been redesigned for dual access via the wide steps on either side, providing a convenient transition from the cockpit when swimming or using the aft plancha grill.

Dufour 44 layout

In the salon, the Dufour 44’s generous beam again serves well to offer unprecedented space, storage, and livability. A newly designed hexagonal table further optimized the space and provides seating for up to 10 people using the moveable stools.

The luxurious forward owner’s cabin features an island bed and ensuite bathroom, with premium materials and attention to detail that combine for a warm, tranquil atmosphere. Natural lighting floods the space from the overhead hatches and skylights.

The Dufour 44 yacht offers a total of 4 different layouts, with 3 or 4 cabins, and either a longitudinal galley or a forward galley.
