Customized versions for every sailor

The designers of the Dufour 530 monohull have taken versatility to the next level with a customized version to meet the needs of every sailor: an Easy version, Ocean version and Performance version. 
The Easy version is for owners looking to simplify, offering a coachroof clear of obstructions and easy maneuvering. The Ocean version features a traditional handling style with halyard maneuvering and mainsail traveler on the roof, and lines leading aft to the helm. With the Dufour 530 Performance version regatta sailors enjoy features including a mainsheet point in the bottom of the cockpit, six winches, hydraulic power station and upgraded mast and boom to accommodate an increased sail area.

Outdoor innovations

The outdoor areas on the Dufour 530 are spacious and feature-packed. The aft fold out swim platform – accessed from an integrated stairway in the port helm seat – is perfect for sunning and watersports. It also serves as additional working space when using the outdoor galley, which is nicely outfitted with a large sink, plancha grill and countertop space.

The wide side decks on either side are accessed via  integrated steps that make movement fore and aft a breeze. An innovative cockpit bimini top provides a large area of shade and protection, with plenty of headroom for standing and gaps in the top for clearance when accessing the side decks. 

On the forward deck, sprawling sun bed loungers invite sunbathing, relaxing and informal gatherings under the stars.

Below, the surprisingly spacious salon makes efficient use of the wide beam, and is well-lit due to the hatches, skylights and side windows. 

Ample headroom throughout and high-end finishes give an instant air of quality and sophistication. The galley is thoughtfully designed with a large modern upright refrigerator, and plenty of workspace and stowage. 

The forward owner’s cabin is inviting and bright, thanks to large hull windows, an extra large overhead skylight window and 2 hatches.

The Dufour 530 has four layout options, all with the popular and efficient forward galley feature. Choose from the 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-cabin version to suit your cruising lifestyle.

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.

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.

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 just come back from my Owner stay in Belize from the Placencia base with my family. It’s a base where I met staff who knew the whole fleet, and did their utmost to keep the equipment in good condition. The atmosphere is very family-oriented, and Yoan and Georges are very helpful, attentive and friendly. Georges knows all his boats by heart. We had a catamaran in very good condition and the pre-departure briefing on everything technical was detailed as never before. Yoan runs the base as if it were his own business, everything for DY, and that’s very rare.

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.
