Dufour 48

Dufour 48: A Luxury Catamaran Built for the Sea and Sun

The Dufour 48 delivers the freedom and volume that today’s cruising families and charter guests expect. Designed by Felci Yacht Design and styled by Ardizio, this catamaran features modern lines, a forward and aft cockpit layout, and clean deck circulation that makes life underway feel open and effortless. The Dufour DNA shines through—combining style, performance, and lifestyle-enhancing details from bow to stern.

Spacious, Outdoor-Oriented Design

The Dufour 48 features two cockpits—one aft and one forward—providing expansive seating, dining, and lounging space. Two tables in the aft cockpit create the perfect setting for relaxed meals or sunset drinks, while the forward cockpit offers a sundeck lounge ideal for anchorage time or scenic sailing. The signature plancha grill and optional galley module transform the aft space into a true outdoor kitchen.

Below deck, the saloon is filled with natural light and seamless visibility. You can choose between a side or front galley layout, and multiple configurations to suit private or charter needs. From luxurious owner cabins to practical guest quarters, every inch is crafted with comfort and functionality in mind.

Performance, Comfort, and Options That Fit Your Journey

Measuring 15.29 meters overall with a beam of 4.85 meters per hull, the Dufour 48 is built using injection deck construction for strength and weight savings. Choose between a shallow 1.75 m draft or deeper 2.35 m performance keel. The boat’s generous sail area of 117 m², combined with twin 60 HP engines and a 13,900 kg displacement, gives you balance under sail and power under motor. An electric version is also available.

This yacht is offered in 3-, 4-, and 5-cabin layouts with en-suite heads and optional skipper accommodations, making it ideal for both private ownership and full-service charter operation.
