Enjoy your Dufour yacht this summer
For several years now, Dufour has been giving a voice to and, above all, encouraging the good times spent aboard its Dufour yachts. Through the #MyDufourandI2025 competition, everyone taking part is invited to illustrate their way of sailing: cruising with the family, a stopover with friends, a solitary sunset or a squall bravely weathered at sea. There’s no set format, just the sea as a backdrop, the yacht as a faithful companion, and the moment captured as witness to a unique adventure.
Whether you’re hoisting the mainsail under a clear blue sky, enjoying breakfast at anchor, or gazing at the Milky Way from the deck, every moment of life on board has a place in this competition. Your Dufour yacht is so much more than a boat: it’s your home, your way of life, an extension of yourself. This competition aims to highlight the intimate bond between the sailor, their crew and their vessel.
How to enter? It couldn’t be simpler
Grab your camera or smartphone, let your creativity run wild and post your photos on Instagram, tagging @dufour.yachts using the hashtag #MyDufourandI2025. You’ve got the whole summer to capture and share your best moments on board. The posts with the most likes will be rewarded.
The overall winners will receive a Dufour-branded stand-up paddleboard, perfect for exploring coves and shorelines. Other prizes will be awarded for the best entries, including technical sailing clothing, sailing accessories, Dufour collectibles and, of course, unrivalled visibility within the community.

A celebration of the art of living at sea
Through this competition, Dufour is celebrating the art of living at sea, that unique way of enjoying the passing of time, harmony with the sea and the ever-changing horizon. Living aboard a Dufour yacht is about choosing a rare luxury: space, freedom and silence. It’s also about reconnecting with simple, essential gestures in a setting where every day offers surprises and wonders, or simply the desire to put to sea for the weekend to clear your mind.
Whether you’re in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, the Caribbean or on a peaceful lake, the #MyDufourandI2025 competition is an opportunity to share those moments suspended in time that make sailing so beautiful. And who knows? Your photo could inspire the dreams of a future sailor…
Help spread your Dufour passion
The photo contest is also a great opportunity to excite the Dufour community on social media. By sharing your shots, you’re doing more than just taking part in a photo contest – you’re contributing to a mosaic of images that tells the story of the diversity, richness and passion of all those who, one day, chose to sail aboard a Dufour yacht.
So this summer, hoist the sails, get your cameras out, and above all… share your most beautiful emotions in pictures and tell us what kind of sailor you are!
