Dufour Yachts

Innovative styling for yachts that combine excellent sailing performance with comfortable living.

Dufour Yachts has been a French manufacturer of sailing yachts for over 50 years, founded by the passionate offshore sailor Michel Dufour. His first design, the Sylph, sold over 400 units between 1964 and 1974, marking the start of an impressive series.

In 2010, Dufour became part of the Bavaria Yacht Group, and has been independent again since 2013 following a management buy-out. It remains renowned for its innovative styling and yachts that sail well and are comfortable.
