Dufour 39

About the Dufour 39

The Dufour 39 is a cruiser drawn around a single idea, that you should be able to sail your own way without compromise. Felci's hand shows in a chined hull that trims wetted surface for smooth, controlled passages, and in a single rudder that keeps the helm direct and honest under your hands. It is a boat that reads the Adriatic well, unhurried between islands yet ready to lean into a fresh afternoon breeze when it arrives.

Below decks, a generous forward beam opens up more volume than the length suggests, and a large coachroof window over the owner's cabin fills the space with light and a sense of the water outside. The layout is modular by design, with secondary spaces that convert from a quiet office to an extra heads, or from a wet locker to a shower, so the boat can be tuned to how you actually live aboard rather than a fixed template.

Owning a boat like this need not mean owning its upkeep. Angelina both sells the Dufour 39 and runs it under professional charter management, so a dedicated team handles maintenance, marketing and bookings while you keep your own weeks on the calendar. It is a way to hold on to the dream and make it defensible, with the practical questions answered clearly. For anyone weighing that decision, we prepare a per-yacht feasibility study covering charter income, running costs and VAT recovery.

Sail Your Way

The Dufour 39 comes in three distinct deck versions, so the boat you take delivery of matches the way you like to sail rather than a single house style. Each shares the same responsive, light-filled hull beneath.

• Comfort version with a Skylounge Cockpit and dedicated Seaside Kitchen
• Performance version with six winches and a square-top mainsail
• Chined hull that reduces wetted surface for a smoother, more controlled ride
