Dufour 48

The Dufour 48 will make its official premiere at the Cannes and Southampton International Boat Shows in September 2025. The Dufour 48 epitomises modern cruising yacht design, blending over 60 years of Dufour’s renowned craftsmanship with innovative features to maximise comfort, space and performance for the ultimate sailing experience.

A defining feature of the Dufour 48 is its redesigned Aft Cockpit, offering a generous and versatile space for relaxation and entertaining. Whether you’re enjoying a meal at one of the twin tables or simply unwinding at anchor, the Aft Cockpit ensures effortless movement and luxurious comfort.

Aft Platform & Outdoor Galley: No Dufour would be complete without its signature aft platform, and the Dufour 48 takes this feature to new heights. The platform features a plancha grill and a fully equipped Outdoor Galley, making al fresco dining effortless. This setup provides everything you need for grilling freshly caught seafood or preparing drinks at sunset.

Interior design by Ardizio Design ensures every detail is optimized for comfort and convenience. Depending on the chosen layout, you’ll enjoy abundant storage space and thoughtfully crafted saloon tables tailored to the three- or four-cabin versions.

Forward Cockpit: The Dufour 48 features a second cockpit at the bow, with the option to install a sun lounger. This space is perfect for moments of serene relaxation, whether under sail or at anchor.

Light-Filled Interior: In keeping with the Dufour legacy, natural light plays a central role. The coachroof has been reimagined with elongated, full-length windows, diffusing light throughout the interior saloon and galley. Integrated opening hatches ensure ventilation and a seamless connection with the sea.

Cabin Comfort: In the cabins, large windows flood the space with natural light, offering breathtaking views of the sea. The design allows you to sit up comfortably in bed and watch the ocean drift by. The spacious, luxurious beds ensure you can relax in style, creating a serene retreat whether you’re sailing or anchored.

Be the first to step aboard the Dufour 48 at the Palma International Boat Show 2025, from April 30th to May 3rd. Email us at info@universalyachting.com to arrange your appointment.
