About the Dufour 41

The Dufour 41 occupies the sweet spot in the range — big enough for serious cruising and comfortable liveaboard weeks, yet compact enough to handle confidently as a couple. The Felci Yacht Design hull delivers a rewarding sailing experience in all conditions, from gentle coastal cruising to spirited offshore passages.

The 41's interior strikes a remarkable balance between volume and elegance. Available in three or four-cabin configurations, it adapts effortlessly from intimate couple's cruiser to a capable charter platform with sleeping accommodation for up to eight.

With its moderate displacement, efficient sail plan, and generous fuel and water capacity, the Dufour 41 is equally at home on a weekend hop along the Dalmatian coast or a two-week island-hopping charter through the Adriatic.

  • Felci Yacht Design hull tuned for comfort and speed in Mediterranean conditions
  • 3 to 4-cabin configurations covering owner, charter, and mixed-use layouts
  • CE Category A (Ocean) certified for unrestricted offshore passage
  • Volvo Penta D1-30 engine with 170 L fuel capacity for extended cruising range
  • Generous T-shaped cockpit with twin wheels and spacious aft sun lounger
  • 330 L freshwater tank and full domestic systems for week-long self-sufficiency
