Offering an unparalleled sailing experience, the new Dufour 48 is a superb achievement by naval architect Umberto Felci of Felci Yachts Design.

With an emphasis on outdoor living, the model has a range of exterior living spaces, elegant lines and remarkable volume. Its aft cockpit delivers instinctive, safe and hospitable sailing. There are two dining tables and an optional hardtop for additional comfort and protection.

The popular aft platform returns, an outdoor galley is equipped with all the essentials for alfresco dining, including a plancha grill, and the yacht also features an innovative forward lounge with optional sunlounges.
