"For us, performance is not just about speed — it's about the feeling of perfect harmony between the sailor, the boat, and the sea."
— Dufour Yachts · La Rochelle, France · Est. 1964
Born from the Atlantic. Since 1964, every Dufour has been shaped by the unforgiving waters off La Rochelle — where hulls are tested before they leave the yard, not after. Three generations of racing DNA distilled into cruising yachts that respond before you think.
Felci Yacht Design and the Dufour engineering team share one obsession: the feeling of perfect harmony between sailor, boat, and sea. A Dufour doesn't just perform — it communicates. Every adjustment of the helm, every shift in the breeze, felt instantly through a hull designed to amplify the connection between you and the water.
46°9'28.8"N — 1°9'7.2"W · La Rochelle, FranceFrom the agile 37 to the new flagship 54 — every Dufour is engineered for a different sailing ambition, with the same uncompromising attention to performance and finish. Prices shown are base figures for a standard boat (ex-shipyard); contact us for a charter-ready quote including equipment, commissioning, and delivery to Croatia.

Six decades of engineering refinement, handcrafted at the same facility on the Atlantic coast of France. Every Dufour combines racing-bred performance with the elegance and comfort of a premium home on water. From the agile 37 to the all-new flagship 54.
Designed with racing-yacht DNA — optimised hulls, balanced sail plans, and precision engineering that delivers exhilarating performance in any sea state.
Spacious interiors crafted from premium materials — Corian surfaces, solid wood finishes, and thoughtful layouts that feel as welcoming as a high-end residence.
Every yacht is handbuilt in La Rochelle by artisans whose families have shaped fibreglass and bent stainless for generations. Quality is not inspected in — it is built in.
Two identical-model Dufours can produce materially different returns depending on year, condition, base location, configuration, financing, and personal-use weeks. We don't publish model-level yield tables because they would mislead. Each Dufour in our managed fleet has its own multi-year feasibility study modelling real charter rates, all operating costs, financing, depreciation, VAT recovery timing, and exit value — with an IRR that reflects the actual yacht, not an average.
For a new Dufour configured to your specification — including which charter base, which trim level, and your preferred financing — we'll build a custom feasibility study.
Charter income, operating costs, and net returns are modelled per yacht — never aggregated. Explore generic scenarios → or browse inventory for real per-yacht feasibility data.
Dufour models consistently rank among the most demanded charter yachts in Croatia. Their combination of recognised design, spacious layouts, and reliable performance drives strong weekly rates and high occupancy throughout the Adriatic season. The specific financial outcome for any individual Dufour depends on the yacht, its base, configuration, and financing structure.
Owning a charter yacht through Angelina Yachting Group means zero operational headache. We manage everything — bookings, maintenance, berthing, check-in crews, and accounting — while you receive your owner reporting.
As part of the Adriatic's leading charter group, we secure delivery slots at advantageous lead times and purchase terms. Select vessels include existing charter bookings transferable to the new owner — providing income visibility from day one.
