Many of you shared your most beautiful photos with us, at sea, aboard your Dufour yachts. So many moments of life experienced alongside you on the oceans of the world.
A Time Spent With You
As always, we are thrilled to follow the adventures of Dufour yacht owners across the globe. The images gathered during this photo contest reveal the beauty of the anchorages explored, the adventurous spirit of our owners, and the comfort of Dufour yachts. They also showcase sailors’ commitment to protecting the oceans and biodiversity, the joy of sailing through the waves, and the awe inspired by the power of nature.
For all these reasons, we are always eager to hear the stories and testimonials shared by the Dufour community. The Chantier Dufour teams are proud to enable so many beautiful journeys and memorable sails.
#MyDufourandI2024 – Sixth Edition
This year marks the sixth edition of Dufour’s annual photo contest. As with every previous edition, several categories will be judged and awarded. The winners will take home many prizes, including navigation gear, technical clothing, coffee table books, and more.
Photos from Around the World
The Dufour teams were impressed by the diversity of sailors who participated in this year’s contest. Sailors of all ages, genders, and a wide range of nationalities were represented.
We received images from seasoned crews living year-round aboard their Dufour yachts, as well as snapshots taken during family trips or getaways with friends. From offshore sailing to coastal cruising, island-hopping to long passages, in tropical or northern climates, every style was represented.
Yachts of All Ages
Alongside different sailing styles, we were pleased to see the loyalty of the Dufour community. We enjoyed discovering images taken aboard Dufour yachts of all ages and from all eras.
While the new range was well represented, older yachts continue to showcase their charm. This, too, is part of Dufour’s DNA that the Chantier teams hold so dear.
