This new Dufour 48 hull # 33 is currently in build at the Dufour shipyard in La Rochelle, France, with ex-factory completion scheduled for Spring 2026 and delivery timed for display at the Annapolis Boat Show 2026. This is a rare opportunity to secure a highly specified, next-generation cruising yacht with immediate availability following the show—without the delays of a new factory order.

Configured in a versatile 4-cabin layout (3 full cabins plus Pullman cabin), this Dufour 48 offers an ideal balance between owner comfort and additional guest capacity. The interior features Dufour’s Signature ambiance, a bright and open saloon, and a long galley configuration designed for practical onboard living. The Pullman cabin replaces the standard storage area, providing an additional sleeping space without compromising the functionality of the primary accommodations.

On deck, the yacht is exceptionally well equipped with the Ocean, Adventure, and advanced electronic sailing and cruising packages, delivering a refined blend of performance and ease of handling. Electric winches, upgraded sail systems, and integrated B&G electronics make the yacht highly manageable for short-handed sailing, while the cockpit is designed for both entertaining and relaxation with upgraded cushions, sun lounging areas, and seamless access to the electric swim platform.

Powered by a Volvo Penta saildrive engine with upgrade to 80 HP, this Dufour 48 delivers strong, confident performance under power along with excellent maneuverability in tight marinas and harbors. The yacht is further equipped with premium features including generator, air conditioning, bow thruster, watermaker, and upgraded electrical systems, creating a fully self-sufficient platform for extended cruising.

Scheduled for debut at the Annapolis Boat Show 2026, this Dufour 48 represents one of the most compelling opportunities on the market—offering a fully equipped, long-range cruising yacht ready for immediate delivery and exploration of the U.S. East Coast and beyond.
