2023 Dufour D61

General Description

2003 Dufour 61

This is a rare opportunity to secure an ‘as new’ Dufour 61, the flagship sailing yacht from the acclaimed Dufour shipyard in La Rochelle, France.

Designed with both performance and comfort in mind, the award-winning Dufour 61 delivers intuitive, short-handed sailing with ease. Her sail handling systems include electric headsail furling, in-mast furling mainsail, a self-tacking jib and four powerful electric winches, all optimised for effortless control. Docking is simple and safe thanks to oversized bow and stern thrusters.

Built to exacting standards for long-range cruising, her construction features an integrated bulwark and expansive foredeck, providing superb seaworthiness and safety at sea. The protected twin-helm cockpit is fitted with custom dual bimini enclosures, ensuring excellent shelter and clear visibility in all conditions.

Step below and you'll be greeted by a light-filled interior enhanced by panoramic windows and custom soft carpeting. The full-beam saloon flows into a gourmet galley equipped with high-end features, including a gimballed four-burner stove, gas oven, microwave, large fridge, ice box, wine cooler, and saltwater rinse sink, perfect for entertaining or extended cruising.

Accommodation comprises three spacious ensuite cabins, plus separate crew quarters with toilet, offering exceptional comfort and privacy for owners and guests alike.

This stunning yacht has had minimal use, with just 200 hours on the 180hp Volvo Penta and 12 hours on the Fischer Panda genset. She’s being offered for sale due to a change in the owner's circumstances and is in immaculate condition, ready for immediate cruising.

Additional features include a Highfield tender with in-hull garage, electric swim platform, external galley with gas grill, watermaker, cockpit fridge, 10-person life raft, dive gear, full safety inventory (EPIRB, MOB device, life jackets), dual helm GPS and engine controls, 1,230 litres fuel capacity including 400L spare, and a 780L freshwater tank.

This Dufour 61 is cruise-ready and available for immediate delivery. Contact our team for more information or to arrange a viewing.
