About the Dufour 54

The Dufour 54 is the yard's flagship, a bluewater cruiser conceived for owners who want to keep going long after the last headland falls away. Its hull is powerful yet balanced, and the helm stays precise and natural for all the yacht's size, so long passages feel unhurried rather than demanding. This is contemporary luxury sailing built around a single idea: a true owner's yacht, at ease crossing oceans or drifting quietly between Adriatic anchorages.

Owning the flagship of a range need not mean carrying its full weight of upkeep. Angelina sells this yacht and manages it too, so a professional team looks after maintenance, marketing and the charter calendar during the weeks it is not in your hands. You keep your own time aboard, arriving to a boat that is clean, provisioned and ready, and hand it back afterwards without the list of jobs that ownership usually leaves behind.

Whether that balance works for you is a question worth answering with figures rather than optimism. On request we prepare a per-yacht feasibility study covering charter income, running costs and VAT recovery, so the decision to own rests on evidence you can hold up to scrutiny. The dream of a yacht that crosses oceans stays intact; charter management is simply what keeps it defensible, season after season.

  • Yard flagship conceived as a true owner's yacht for ocean passages
  • Powerful, balanced hull with a helm that stays precise and natural despite the size
  • Signature living-outdoors design carried from the foredeck down to the waterline
  • Modular interior that adapts from an intimate owner's layout to a full guest complement
  • Optional hybrid-electric drivetrain and solar hardtop for quiet, self-sufficient cruising

Living Outdoors

Everything about this Dufour is arranged around life on deck and at the water's edge, with three distinct social zones that run from the foredeck to the waterline. Below, the accommodation adapts to the way you actually cruise.

  • Skylounge Cockpit with wraparound U-seating and tables that drop to form sunbeds
  • Forward Skylounge Deck, a panoramic lounge set into the foredeck
  • Aft Seaside Kitchen positioned right down at the waterline
  • Forward owner's suite with a transverse king berth, generous bathroom and vanity
  • Modular accommodation that reconfigures from an owner-focused layout to a fully crewed guest arrangement
  • Optional ODSea+ hybrid-electric drivetrain paired with a rigid solar hardtop for quiet autonomy
