Dufour 54 – A 16-metre yacht for indoor-outdoor living
With this new Dufour 54 sailing boat, Dufour is taking the indoor-outdoor living concept to new heights. The passionate teams at Dufour, naval architect Umberto Felci and interior designer Luca Ardizio have worked hand in hand to innovate and create the sailing yacht that represents the culmination of the concepts upheld by the Dufour range.
Exceptional exterior innovations
The Dufour 54 confirms the innovations introduced on the Dufour 48. Aboard this new yacht, you’ll find the SKY LOUNGE COCKPIT and the SKY LOUNGE DECK. Two areas specially created to maximise the boat’s outdoor comfort. In addition to this, the SEA STERN COOK (outdoor galley) has been enlarged and offers new options.
The cockpit of the Dufour 54 has two tables, allowing for free movement and a significant gain in space, and giving very easy access to the saloon. The tables can be lowered to create two proper sun loungers for maximum comfort at anchor or while sailing. The cockpit is also U-shaped to ensure constant interaction between the crew and the helmsman.
Forward, there are two loungers that form another real cockpit. A second sunbathing area that will undoubtedly be the favourite spot for those who love to relax. The seats of this sunbathing area can be raised to suit the desired position, making it a privileged space for sunbathing, reading or simply contemplating the ocean.
The aft platform has been enlarged and reveals a genuine galley area. This is modular, meaning each owner can choose to have a plancha grill with a sink, a refrigerator or a second grill. This innovative space opens onto the ocean, bringing to mind images of a “pool house”.
Interiors connected to the ocean
Numerous windows line the hull and adorn the coachroof of the new Dufour 54 sailing yacht. Inside, owners will enjoy a permanent 360° view, giving them a total connection to the elements. The Dufour 54 promises true communion with the sea and the sky, an opportunity to escape and enjoy scenery that’s accessible only by sail…
In addition to this reconnection with nature, the numerous windows aboard the Dufour 54 create a veritable light well. The interior exudes a soft and warm atmosphere for unparalleled living comfort.
This brightness is also found in the cabins. In the owner’s cabin or suite, this connection is even more in evidence. Make the most of your evenings to gaze at the stars or admire the immaculate blue sky from the comfort of your bed thanks to the SKY VIEW.
Space and fluidity
With the Dufour 54, the brand is taking the concept of comfort, storage and space even further with ingenious and innovative layouts.
On deck, the cockpit can accommodate a large number of guests for convivial sailing and fun in the anchorages. The side-decks are wide and all the deck organisers and turning blocks for the halyards and sheets are placed on the coachroof to ensure everyone’s safety when moving around.
Inside, the Dufour 54 has a new layout with an owner’s suite. The island bed, accessible from both sides, offers considerable space for moving around freely. Thanks to this gain in space, a dressing table has been installed in the suite to ensure a standard comfort worthy of the largest yachts.
The interior saloon of the Dufour 54 also benefits from the shape of the hull. It creates place of total conviviality, and inviting family or friends becomes an undisguised pleasure aboard this exceptional sailing boat. The galley, located at the front of the saloon, also offers a large, comfortable space for preparing delicious meals and storing all the necessary equipment.
A yacht to suit all sailing programmes
Under way, the Dufour 54 is a versatile sailing boat, perfect for coastal trips from anchorage to anchorage or for making longer passages. This is a stable sailing yacht that’s enjoyable to helm and promises great sensations on the waves.
In order to balance the Dufour 54 and allow her to offer the best performance under sail, the rig has a mast rake of 4°. This ensures pleasant behaviour when on the wind, with easy sail trimming and pleasant power.
In keeping with the tradition of the Dufour brand, this new yacht is equipped with a single rudder. This makes the Dufour 54 easy to manoeuvre at sea and in port. It also allows for precise course-keeping and responsive steering.
