Debuted at the 2022 Miami Boat Show, this striking new Dufour sailing yacht is available for fully crewed charters in the Virgin Islands.

Electrical equipment

Effortless energy management begins with a reliable shore power inlet for seamless dockside connection, complemented by a quiet, efficient generator that keeps every onboard system alive at anchor. A smart inverter rounds out the system, delivering clean, stable AC power to sensitive appliances underway, so comfort never skips a beat whether you are cruising or moored.

Electronics

Precision begins below the surface with a depthsounder and log-speedometer feeding real-time awareness, while radar and a dedicated radar detector extend your vision when visibility fades. At the heart of the navigation center, a responsive plotter, trustworthy GPS, and a classic compass work in concert with the autopilot to transform passage-making into a calm, confident rhythm. Clear communications flow through VHF, entertainment carries crisply through cockpit speakers, and wind speed and direction instrumentation keeps every trim decision refined and rewarding.

Inside equipment

The galley is thoughtfully appointed with a dishwasher, oven, microwave oven, refrigerator, and a deep freezer, while a fresh water maker and hot water ensure abundant, refined comfort on extended voyages. Climate control comes courtesy of efficient air conditioning, and daily routines are elevated by an electric head designed for quiet reliability. Behind the scenes, an electric bilge pump and sea water pump safeguard operations, and a diligent battery charger keeps the entire electrical backbone ready for every horizon.

Outside equipment

A beautifully finished teak cockpit sets the stage for effortless days on deck, with cockpit cushions and a generous cockpit table shaping a welcoming social heart. After a swim, the cockpit shower and the sturdy swimming ladder make reboarding refreshing and graceful, while the gangway ensures elegant arrivals ashore. Practicality meets independence with davit(s) for the tender and a solar panel to harvest quiet energy, and peace of mind is ever-present thanks to a ready liferaft.

Rigging

At the helm, a responsive steering wheel delivers fingertip control and an intuitive feel for the sea, while an electric winch lends powerful, precise assistance to sail handling, reducing effort and inviting more time under canvas.

Sails

The sail plan blends performance and poise with a fully battened mainsail for drive and shape, a furling genoa that unfurls to power up the bow in moments, and a spinnaker that turns open water into exhilarating reach and run.
