About The Brand
Report
In 1957 a mechanical engineer named Michel Dufour, became convinced that composite technologies and materials would transform the marine industry. He envisioned that extraordinary adventures would be achievable by ordinary people and founded Dufour Yachts in La Rochelle, France, where it stands today as one of the worlds largest sailboat builders.
Boat Shows & Events
Report
We are always happy to meet up with you at our offices in Hamble and with the generosity of our owners we can normally show you around most of the models in the range locally by appointment. We also routinely attend a number of the main UK & European Boat Shows where you will find us on hand to discuss your sailing plans and show you around the latest models.
Ownership Options
Report
Buy a new Dufour Yacht and place it into our Solent Charter Fleet to generate an income and offset the costs of ownership whilst still having full access and use of the boat. As UK Dealers for Dufour Yachts we are able to offer very attractive packages on the purchase of a new yacht entering our fleet.
Bareboat Yacht Charter
Report
Explore the Solent sailing on your own with a bareboat charter. With no restrictions on when and where you can go this is the ultimate way to spend your sailing time. To take a bareboat charter in the Solent, 2 members of the party (the skipper and first mate) need to have at least a RYA Day Skipper Practical qualification or have skippering/sailing experience on a yacht close to the size you are chartering.
