Dufour 41, designed for cruising up to 10 people

The new Dufour 41, announced in January 2023, has a generous beam that allows it to offer an interior layout dedicated to charter with 4 cabins. It uses the same aesthetic codes as its little brother, the Dufour 37.

A maximum of light

In line with the Dufour 32 and Dufour 37 launched at the end of 2021 and 2022 respectively, Dufour Yachts is developing a 41-footer that uses the same codes. The naval architecture by Felci Yachts and the exterior design by Ardizio Design use the same large hull and deck windows found on the 37. Although its hull length is only 11.99 m, the Dufour 41 is nevertheless very wide, 4.30 m, same beam master as its big brother the Dufour 430.

A cockpit fitted out to enjoy the outside

The cockpit offers the same configuration as the new models, namely the two helm stations on the stern with the winches nearby, the bathing platform with ladder and the central plancha. The front is occupied by a saloon with a central table. As a reminder, Dufour's goal is to make life outside easier. For the moment, the shipyard has not communicated any data on the future sail plan. The manufacturer only indicates that the Dufour 41 will be offered in three versions: Adventure, Performance and Ocean.

Customizable interior design

Thanks to the size of the main beam, the Dufour 41 offers a large interior volume that can be customized. It can offer up to 4 cabins and two bathrooms, allowing up to 10 people to sleep on board by converting the saloon into an extra double bed. As standard, the 3-cabin version is equipped with an owner's cabin in the bow with its private bathroom and two double cabins in the stern, with a bathroom and a separate shower or two bathrooms with shower. The living space is composed of a beautiful U-shaped saloon with its table allowing to have dinner for at least 8 people. The galley on starboard, even if well equipped, remains a little reduced for a 4 cabin configuration, rather intended for a charter version. Thanks to the many windows in the hull and on the deck, the interior appears really bright.
