The Dufour 48 on our Sicily and Aeolian Islands explorer flotilla was built in 2025 and is the largest yacht in our Sicily fleet. She has four double cabins and four heads, so every cabin has its own heads, with eight berths for larger groups and families.
Her fully battened mainsail gives her lively performance, and air conditioning, heating and a generator add comfort that is rare on a flotilla yacht.
