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.

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!

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’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!

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.
