Dufour 48: The big new model for 2025
The Dufour 48 is the latest addition to the Dufour shipyard, embodying the excellence of recreational boating.
This 15-metre monohull yacht is the result of the collaboration between the Dufour teams, naval architect Umberto Felci and interior designer Luca Ardizio, and was recently honoured by the American magazine Sail, which named it one of the “Top 10 Best Boats 2026”.
An invitation to travel
From her very first appearance at the Palma Boat Show, the Dufour 48 has captivated sailing fans. Her elegant design and exceptional performance make this an ideal choice for boaters seeking both sailing thrills and comfort.
With a generous sail plan and performance-designed mast, she offers smooth and stable sailing, even in stronger conditions. The editor-in-chief of Sail magazine highlighted the yacht’s ability to maintain good speed even when very close to the wind, demonstrating manoeuvrability and responsiveness in all conditions.
A redesigned living space
The Dufour 48 stands out from the crowd thanks to her bright and modular interior layout, designed by Luca Ardizio. The 360° panoramic windows flood the saloon with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The owner’s cabin, worthy of a suite, offers generous storage space and a retractable TV cabinet. There are numerous layout options: forward or lateral galley, an adaptable hexagonal table, a choice of the number of cabins, and bathrooms that can be converted into an office or a Pullman cabin.
Life focused on the outdoors
Designed to make the most of the exterior space, the Dufour 48 encourages a real reconnection with the sea. This yacht offers two spacious sunbathing areas, one forward, with room for two people, the other in the aft cockpit, which can be converted into sunbathing areas thanks to its tables that fold away. The redesigned aft platform is home to a welcoming bathing area with a galley area equipped with a sink and plancha grill.
Safety on board is ensured by clear side-decks, genoa and mainsheet tracks positioned on the coachroof and practical halyard bags, guaranteeing smooth and safe movement. Manoeuvring is also made easier thanks to the increased width and intelligently arranged fittings. Numerous handrails have been integrated throughout the Dufour 48 for even greater ease.
Exceptional marine performance
True to the brand’s seafaring spirit, the Dufour 48 offers remarkable performance under sail. Thanks to her single rudder, she guarantees excellent manoeuvrability and precise handling at the helm. Her innovative hull combines stability and speed for dynamic and safe sailing. Feedback from boating journalists confirms these seafaring qualities, with smooth and responsive handling.
The Dufour 48 embodies all the DNA of the Dufour shipyard: innovation, performance and elegance. This latest-generation sailing yacht is the result of meticulous work between the Dufour teams and naval architect Umberto Felci. She offers a unique sailing experience, combining exceptional living comfort with high-level marine performance. With several configurations available, this yacht will adapt to the needs of every sailor, whether for cruising with family or friends or for more sporty sailing. The Dufour 48 is an invitation to get away from it all, a promise of creating unforgettable memories at sea.
