Dufour Catamarans: “We have developed an innovative catamaran in line with the Dufour philosophy on which we have been working over the last years.

The new Dufour 48 Catamaran is the first catamaran produced by Dufour Catamarans and it a big new trend. Dufour-Catamarans was exclusively focused on production of monohulls, this new project – Dufour 48 Catamaran has a clear link with the rest of the production with recognisable design and many innovative solutions. At the stylistic level, both inside and outside, Dufour Catamarans tried to keep the usual modern, clean lines and shapes, without interfering with the complexity of functions that this Dufour 48 Catamaran will have to satisfy. Spacious fly bridge covers the large cockpit of Dufour 48 Catamaran, making both areas perfect for relaxation in total privacy. Unique Dufour’s interior design is recognisable on the Dufour 48 Catamaran in the care of details and finishes. There are two versions of Dufour 48 Catamaran – owner’s version has a layout and finish similar to 5star suites while yacht charter version is full of practical solutions such as large technical area and storage, perfect for professional use of the yacht. In both versions there is a forward cabin, independent and dedicated to the crew. Sailing Dufour 48 Catamaran is simple and effective, it fully embraces current trends, with the must far back and large furling and self-tacking jib.

Sailing Performance: This stunning Umberto Felci-designed 48ft yacht combines sleek lines with a sailing performance unparalleled among rival catamarans, and a level of comfort that most yachts can only dream of. Dufour’s catamaran 48 performance sailing background is clear in the nice little touches that make the 48 slick, efficient and a pleasure to sail. This really is the catamaran to convert any monohull purist. The dreadnought bow stands out against the boxy shape of most modern sailing catamarans. It looks both beautiful and fast, and it is.

Dufour 48 Catamaran Comfort: This high-end sailing catamaran is just as comfortable on charter in the Mediterranean as she would be on long bluewater legs. The Dufour 48 catamaran offers all the benefits of a 50-foot cat, with better sailing performance, at the price of a 45-foot yacht. It is available in three, four, and five-cabin layouts, with island beds in the forward cabins, making them significantly larger than similar-sized rivals.
