Discover the Dufour 44

by Dufour Yachts 28 Sep 2023 15:50 UTC

Whether for experienced sailors or adventure-seeking lovers of the sea, the Dufour 44 sailing yacht is designed to deliver an unforgettable experience.

Created with the steadfast collaboration of Felci Yachts Design and the Dufour teams (collaborating now for over 18 years), the hull's sleek design and manoeuvrability at the helm will allow you to tame the seas while enjoying precise and responsive handling. The pleasure felt at the helm will charm new owners and cruising sailors alike.

The art of relaxation at sea

The agility of the new Dufour 44 sailboat in no way leads to a sacrifice in comfort. Her spacious, luxuriously appointed interior, designed by Luca Ardizio, offers everything you need for enjoying some unforgettable relaxing times at sea. From the elegant cabins to the bright, open-plan living spaces, every detail has been designed to provide you with exceptional comfort.

The generous beam will also allow you to enjoy a highly spacious cockpit as well as a bathing platform that's easily accessible, thanks to its double access... A brand-new feature from Dufour!

Highlights

A saloon spanning the entire width of the boat and versatile spaces
The saloon layout has been designed to offer maximum space and conviviality. Dufour is introducing a new feature, a hexagonal table giving a new design to the saloon and providing seating for up to 10 people thanks to its movable stools.

A genuine owner's cabin
Forward, the Owner's cabin with its Island Bed and en-suite bathroom surpasses all expectations for optimum comfort. This new 44-footer Dufour yacht has been designed with an emphasis on detail, atmosphere and choice of materials. The result is a warm, light-filled atmosphere, where you'll find more space and storage than ever before.

Available in 4 versions with 2 galley layouts, for greater comfort
The Dufour 41 yacht offers a total of 4 different layouts, with 3 or 4 cabins, and either a longitudinal galley or a forward galley... Luca Ardizio brings a revisited version of the forward galley, fully in keeping with Dufour's DNA. The longitudinal galley retains plenty of storage space and a large work surface.

Smoother circulation for greater conviviality and ease under way
In keeping with Dufour's DNA, the deck layout has been designed to give you a smooth sailing experience that's full of sensations. The area between the helm station and the two winches has been enlarged to make sail manoeuvring easier. At anchor, you'll be able to move freely around the plancha grill, thanks to the double access from the platform, which has also been enlarged.
