Dufour 61 – Flagship sailing sensations

Winner of SAIL’s 2022 Best Boat Award in the Flagship Monohull category, the Dufour 61 flagship sailing yacht is a masterpiece of design crafted by renowned naval architects, Umberto Felci and the Dufour Yachts design team. This exceptional vessel embodies the perfect blend of intuitive design and expert craftsmanship, ensuring pure and unmatched sailing sensations.

Exhilarating performance

With a sleek and modern aesthetic, the Dufour 61 is not just a sailboat; it’s a statement of elegance and exhilarating performance. This flagship model showcases cutting-edge technology and luxurious finishes, setting new standards in the world of sailing.

Equipped with state-of-the-art navigation and control systems, including an intuitive helm and advanced autopilot, the Dufour 61 can be managed by small crews despite her impressive size.

Meticulously designed outdoor space

The Dufour 61 monohull boasts expansive and meticulously designed outdoor spaces that redefine comfort and fluid functionality. The expansive cockpit features ergonomic seating and a large drop-leaf centerline dinette with optional refrigerator underneath, perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying alfresco meals with family.

The twin wheels aft control one deep rudder, while engine controls and a full instrument panel can be found at both helm stations. All lines are led aft to two pairs of electric winches located in front of each station.

The wide beam carried aft on the 61 results in substantial space between helms – utilized for an optional cushioned lounge area, inviting sunbathing and socializing in comfort.

Steps to the large powered drop-down swim platform are accessed by lifting the rear seat, where the yacht’s cook can also find an integrated plancha grill and sink.

Dufour 61 interior

Step below deck, and you’ll find a world of luxury and sophistication in the Dufour 61’s salon. The open-plan salon is bathed in natural light from expansive side windows, and skylights, while plush seating and a stylish dining area create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The fully-equipped galley is a chef’s dream, with top-of-the-line appliances and ample counter space for gourmet meal preparation.

The Dufour 61 sailing yacht is available in three innovative layout options – all with the same spacious and private forward owner’s suite with ensuite bath, sofa and large wardrobe. The 3-cabin/3-bath version features an impressive forward galley spanning the width of the salon that’s open to the living spaces.

The two 4-cabin/4-bath configurations offer a choice of port side longitudinal or forward galley.
