Performance and luxury without compromise — Dufour’s design philosophy at its fullest.
The Dufour 480 is the penultimate expression of Dufour's design philosophy — a yacht that refuses to compromise between sailing performance and onboard luxury. At nearly 15 metres, the 480 offers the interior volume and systems depth of a true liveaboard yacht while retaining the spirited sailing character that defines every Dufour.
Felci Yacht Design's hull delivers remarkable stability and speed across a wide range of conditions, from light Mediterranean breezes to serious offshore weather. The 480's displacement-to-waterline ratio is finely tuned for both comfortable cruising and competitive racing, earning it a loyal following among experienced sailors.
Below deck, the 480 sets new standards in its class. Available in up to six-cabin configurations, the interior adapts from a luxurious owner's yacht with full-beam master suite to a high-capacity charter platform generating premium weekly revenue. The quality of materials — solid wood joinery, Corian surfaces, and premium upholstery — delivers a genuine premium feel throughout.
Full-beam owner's suite with island bed, private head, and separate shower stall. The ultimate private cruising layout.
Premium charter layout balancing revenue and guest comfort. Four spacious double cabins with three full bathrooms.
Maximum capacity for peak-season bareboat charter demand. Six cabins delivering the highest possible weekly revenue.
