Overview

Dufour 470: Spacious and Easy to Sail

Dufour 470Built by Dufour Yachts in 2023

The Dufour 470 on our Sicily and Aeolian Islands explorer flotilla was built in 2023. She has four double cabins and four heads, so every cabin has its own heads, plus a small skipper’s cabin, with eight berths for larger groups and families. Our lead yacht on the flotilla is also a Dufour 470.

Her fully battened mainsail and self-tacking jib make her easy to sail with a small crew, and a bow thruster helps in harbour. The cockpit has a barbecue and a sink, and the bathing platform opens onto the sea.
