2024 Three Cabin Dufour 37 AVAILABLE NOW
Available through our colleagues on the East Coast and currently located in Walton on the Naze, Essex, this excellent example of the highly popular Dufour 37 is now available for sale. This presents a unique opportunity to get on the water for the 2025 season. With all Dufour 37 new order slots now sold out for 2025, this boat is one of only two remaining Dufour 37s available for the 2025 season.
As a 2024 ex-display yacht, she offers a substantial saving over the equivalent factory order and has yet to touch the water.

We would be delighted to discuss your plans and provide tailored advice on the best approach for your needs.
Introduction to the Dufour 37
The Dufour 37 marks the beginning of a new generation and direction for Dufour while still incorporating design principles and Dufour DNA refined over 60 years of boatbuilding. This model features a completely new hull design by Naval Architect Umberto Felci, focusing on maximising interior light, comfort, and space while delivering the exceptional sailing experience Dufour is known for.
A key part of the new hull design is a pronounced full-length hull chine, which greatly improves form stability, reducing reliance on the keel to keep the yacht sailing upright. This offers three significant benefits:
Safer and More Comfortable Sailing: Maintaining a more upright position ensures a safer and more comfortable sailing experience, facilitating easy movement around the boat while underway.
Maximised Performance: Less heel results in reduced water resistance on the hull, improving hydrodynamic efficiency and resulting in greater speed through the water. With the amount of heel minimised, the efficiency of sail is maximised, optimising wind usage and allowing for more effective trimming to enhance upwind performance.
Increased Interior Space: The incorporation of the chine allows the designers to carry her beam further forward, providing a forward cabin volume unmatched by any other yacht of her size.
