Unveiled as a world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Dufour 48 continues its autumn boat-show tour. From September 23 to 28 it will be on display at the Grand Pavois in La Rochelle, standing out as one of the largest monohull sailboats at the show.
Designed for those who love to experience life at sea both inside and out, this new monohull from the La Rochelle shipyard is a true concentrate of innovation, combining offshore performance with exceptional onboard comfort.
An Invitation to travel
Step aboard the Dufour 48, a yacht built for every sea and every horizon. With an impressive beam of 4.85 m, this cruiser delivers outstanding stability while remaining agile for both coastal cruising and blue-water passages. Under sail or power—standard 57 HP engine with an 80 HP option—the Dufour 48 is responsive, safe, and efficient.
A hybrid propulsion option, the ODSea+ system, is also available, offering quieter, more environmentally friendly navigation. This solution enhances comfort and pleasure while increasing autonomy and peace of mind on long passages.
Sailing the Dufour 48 means heading out with complete confidence—whether for coastal getaways, extended cruises, or demanding crossings—while savoring the journey in comfort and security.
When cruising becomes an art of living
Crafted to accompany the most beautiful voyages, the Dufour 48 reimagines the very art of cruising. Its open, welcoming layout turns every anchorage into a unique moment of shared pleasure.
The rear cockpit of the Dufour 48 has been redesigned to offer a generous and comfortable space. Circulation remains smooth and intuitive under sail, while two large tables invite you to enjoy convivial meals or relax peacefully on the sunpads at anchor.
A hallmark of the brand, the expansive aft platform never disappoints. Still featuring its signature plancha grill, it now offers additional fittings to create a true outdoor galley, fully equipped for cooking by the sea.
To enrich the experience even further, a second forward cockpit awaits. Outfitted with a spacious sunpad, it’s ideal for unforgettable moments of lounging—whether at anchor or under sail.
