Forward order Dufour 470 Available for 2025 Delivery
Merging the Grand Large cruising features with the Performance Range, the Dufour 470 epitomises the shape of things to come from Dufour Yachts. The 470 is a modernised, contemporary design, yet it is one that maintains all the iconic elegance, features, performance and DNA you expect to find with a Dufour.
The new look includes a reverse chamfer curve on the topsides below the sheer line, subtle changes to the window recesses, larger forward hull volumes and a smooth fore and aft chine. The clean and impressive lines create a striking profile and the wide hull shape is designed for performance and stability in a wide range of sailing conditions.
Delivery is available for the 2025 season in the UK or the Med speak to one of our experienced brokers for more details.

Dufour 470 Forward Orders Available in Smart Electric for Spring 2025
Dufour's new Smart Electric system offers a completely new sailing experience for cruising yachts. It integrates a powerful electric drive pod, diesel generator, hydro generation, and a lithium-ion phosphate battery bank to deliver a level of autonomy never seen before in the cruising market. While using pure electric drive, you can enjoy noise and vibration-free motoring for up to 35 miles at cruising speed.
If you need to travel further under motor, you have the option to revert to running a quieter, more efficient diesel generator to directly power the electric drive offering 15% more range over a traditional diesel-engined yacht. Planning a long distance passage under sail? Utilise wind, solar, and hydro generation to power the battery bank and eliminate the need for fossil fuels all together offering unprecedented range and autonomy.
Key Features:
Silent Mode: Motor for approximately 30-35 miles in complete silence using pure electric drive mode running directly from the battery bank.
Hybrid Mode: Run with the diesel generator directly powering the electric motor whilst simultaneously charging the battery bank, providing up to 15% additional range compared to a traditional diesel engine yacht.
Hydro Generation: Charge the battery bank while under sail using the electric motor, providing the option of complete autonomy.
Safety: Gain more ability to power the vessel to return to port, whether sailing, in hybrid drive or pure electric drive mode.
Passage Speed Boost: Use the electric motor under sail with a smaller amount of power to 'motor sail' silently and boost passage speed for up to 12 hours in light wind conditions.
Power On Board: With high-capacity Lithium-Ion phosphate batteries, you can run the boat systems for up to 24 hours without needing shore power or a diesel generator. For example, air conditioning can run all night in complete silence while at anchor.
Ease of Use: The completely automated system activates the generator automatically when the batteries require topping up.
Low Maintenance: With only three moving parts within the electric drive system, maintenance is kept to a minimum. The cost of servicing the generator is lower than that of a traditional diesel engine. Batteries are guaranteed for 10 years. Parts within the system are plug and play, so they can be easily replaced if required. Remote fault tracing and troubleshooting are available anywhere with an internet connection.
Sustainability: The ability to incorporate solar, hydro generation, and wind generation into the onboard battery bank creates a more sustainable boating experience.
Low-Stress Mooring: Instant torque delivery coupled with a large single rudder provides ease of handling in close quarters manoeuvres.
