About the Dufour 470

The Dufour 470 represents a significant step up in the range — a genuine blue-water cruiser with the interior volume and systems capacity for extended passages and serious liveaboard comfort. At 14.4 metres, the 470 delivers a spaciousness that rivals many 50-footers, thanks to Felci Yacht Design's innovative hull form and Dufour's intelligent use of space.

The 470 is where Dufour's dual personality truly shines. Under sail, the racing-bred hull is responsive, fast, and genuinely exhilarating. Below deck, the interior feels like a floating apartment — wide-body saloon, full galley with island counter, and cabins with genuine standing headroom and hotel-quality finishes.

For charter investors, the 470 sits in a lucrative sweet spot: large enough to command premium weekly rates while remaining manageable for bareboat guests. Its combination of sailing performance, interior luxury, and proven Dufour reliability makes it one of the strongest charter investments in the 47-foot class.
