The new Dufour 54 represents the quintessence of Dufour Yachts’ expertise… the culmination of all the innovations introduced across the new range. All the great pioneering advances conceived by Dufour Yachts have been refined aboard this new model. A complete and perfect expression of the DNA of the emblematic sailing yacht brand that is Dufour.
The new Dufour 54 is a yacht designed for an outward-looking experience of life at sea, offering a reconnection with the elements and letting each sailor’s instincts express themselves…
Designed for living “inside-out”
The Dufour 54 is the fruit of collaboration between Dufour’s passionate teams, naval architect Umberto Felci, and interior designer Luca Ardizio. Together, they have imagined the perfect 16-metre boat that will meet every expectation.
The Dufour 54 has been designed to guarantee that outdoor living experience. The pleasure of spending fine days on deck is multiplied exponentially. Evenings are even gentler and more relaxing on the sun loungers fore and aft.
In keeping with the Dufour range of sailing yachts, the Dufour 54 has a warm, modern design. The entire yacht has been designed to provide her crew with a permanent connection to the ocean. The portholes give a view of the water and the sky at all times. The amount of glazed surface area generates an incredible amount of light inside the yacht.
A spacious cockpit
Rediscover the pleasure of sailing in the SKY LOUNGE COCKPIT. Spacious and well laid out, this area promises first-class comfort when under sail.
Designed in a U-shape, the cockpit of the new Dufour 54 allows the helmsman to remain in constant contact with the rest of the crew, making sailing manoeuvres easier and creating a more convivial atmosphere.
The two cockpit tables can be lowered to form two ultra-comfortable sunbathing areas in the soft shade of the sails or a hard top.
Sunbathing on deck
As part of its ongoing drive to improve the outdoor experience, Dufour has introduced the SKY LOUNGE DECK: a genuine forward cockpit, perfect for relaxing whether under way or at anchor.
This sundeck allows two people to sit comfortably. In fact, the seats can be folded up like perfect sun loungers. Reading, watching and relaxation can be enjoyed to the full in this space.
A spacious, modular aft platform
The Dufour 54 takes innovation a step further with the SEA STERN COOK (exterior galley). The aft platform of the yacht reveals a very spacious area with an outdoor kitchen that you’d find in a pool house.
The traditional plancha grill, a very popular option with owners of Dufour yachts, is evolving. Aboard the Dufour 54, this space can be arranged as you wish. The galley is divided into two units, so you can add a second grill, a fridge or a sink. A serving hatch has been integrated to facilitate communication between this area and the cockpit.
To sum up, the Dufour 54 features a proper outdoor kitchen to enhance your time at anchor. It makes for an even more convivial experience: cooking with your “toes in the water” in the company of your guests.
What’s more, the aft platform is a great access point for swimming. Wide and spacious, it’s another spot where you can relax and enjoy the sea. From the platform, the Dufour 54 has double access to the cockpit, making it easy to move around. You’ll find all the benefits of a private swimming pool and beach club, while being able to enjoy the immensity of the ocean.
A spacious and safe deck for fast cruising
The Dufour DNA also means offering safe yachts so you can refocus on the pleasures and sensations of instinctive sailing.
The space provided by the cockpit of the Dufour 54 is a striking example of this. The deck hardware is all cleverly positioned to make sailing manoeuvres easier. Halyard bags are located at the console, as well as at the foot of each port and starboard winch, guaranteeing easy, safe stowage of lines.
The side-decks are designed to ensure that there are no obstacles in your way. All turning blocks and sheet cars are located on the coachroof to ensure safe movement around the boat.
A fully modular yacht
The new Dufour 54 really stands out from the crowd thanks to her extreme level of modularity, allowing each owner to create the yacht that best suits their needs.
Two galleys for two interior identities
The galley of the Dufour 54 is positioned forward in the interior saloon and separated into two distinct areas. The first section comprises the cooking area and a sink, both on the starboard side. The second section, to port, features a work surface and a large fridge. In this configuration, a module laundry-style is placed between the galley and the forward cabin.
In a second version, the galley runs along the port side of the yacht, on the starboard side is a pullman cabin.
The only yacht in this size to offer up to five cabins
The spaciousness of the Dufour 54 allows for between 3 and 6 cabins, as well as from 2 to 5 bathrooms. This is a yacht to suit every need, from families to charter companies.
In the three-cabin and two-bathroom version, the Dufour 54 is perfect for families. To accommodate even more people on board, the four-cabin, three-bath version offers a substantial number of berths.
For charter companies keen to offer a comfortable experience to as many people as possible, the Dufour 54 can offer up to five cabins and five bathrooms.
Owner’s cabin or suite worthy of a superyacht?
Dufour sought to bring a major innovation to the owner’s cabin on this new 16-metre yacht. There are two version options.
The first is classic, with a large island bed in the centre of the space. The second version features a bed positioned as in the largest yachts. An innovation that saves space and gives greater freedom of movement.
In the four- and five-cabin versions, the two forward cabins have a bathroom positioned at the bow of the yacht. Yet another clever layout which saves space, making things more practical and making you feel right at home.
Numerous layout options within the yacht
The various areas installed within the Dufour 54 are interchangeable. A wide range of possibilities are available to each owner:
- One or two Pullman cabins version with two bunk beds
- A large heads compartment with separate toilet and shower
- A well-designed storage area
- An office space
A skipper’s cabin can also be fitted out in the forepeak. This has a bunk and a shower room.

The owner’s suite reveals a splendid space worthy of the greatest yachts, with an island bed accessible from either side thanks to an innovative positioning to starboard. Above the bed is a large window, making it an intimate spot from which to gaze at the stars and the sky. The positioning of the two bathrooms reinforces the immensity of this space. Placed at the bow of the yacht, they offer unparalleled comfort and make way for a well-appointed vanity unit within the cabin itself.
Modern, spacious exteriors
On deck, the new Dufour 54 can also boast a number of innovations. Naval architect Umberto Felci worked with the Dufour design office to create sleek lines that give incredible performance at sea, as well as a recognisably modern hull design that offers plenty of space inside.
An elegant arch at the front of the cockpit is available as an option. The experience of outdoor living has been taken to another level with sunbathing areas fore and aft. The traditional outdoor galley is also adaptable and connected to the cockpit for greater conviviality.
