Thanks to the double access, the boat features the SKY LOUNGE COCKPIT. This is U-shaped to allow a friendly connection between the crew and the helmsman. The two cockpit tables can be lowered to form two sun loungers that are very are very comfortable whether under way or at anchor.
The Dufour 48’s side decks are wide and, with all the sheets led back to the coachroof to completely free up space, make moving around on board safer. At the front, you’ll find the SKY LOUNGE DECK with two sun loungers perfect for enjoying the sea air at anchor and sometimes when under way.
