The entire Dufour sailing yachts line-up was on display!
The Dufour Open Days in La Rochelle have become a must-attend event for discovering and test sailing Dufour yachts alongside dealers from the Dufour network. It is also the perfect opportunity to meet the shipyard team in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, complementing traditional boat shows with an added touch of exclusivity. This unique experience, punctuated by cocktails and shared moments, offers everyone the freedom to take their time, exploring each yacht at their own pace, under sail, for a personalized and immersive discovery.
This year’s edition featured the Dufour 37, Dufour 41, Dufour 44, and the brand-new Dufour 48, showcased ahead of her world premiere at the upcoming autumn boat shows, with daily sea trials. These sea trials allowed the participants to experience firsthand the performance and comfort of our exceptional yachts. Presented on the Dufour 44, the ODSea+ hybrid system offers silent cruising with an integrated and intuitive navigation system—a major advantage for your cruises, ensuring even greater autonomy, quietness, and respect for the sea.
A time for sharing
These three days also provided valuable opportunities to discuss with clients and dealers. Impressions from sea trials, model choices, moments of falling in love with a yacht—everyone shared their reasons for choosing Dufour, confirming the strong connection our Owners have with the spirit of the brand.
