This new Dufour 54, Hull #9, is currently in build at the Dufour shipyard in La Rochelle, France, with ex-factory completion scheduled for May 2026 and delivery timed for display at the Annapolis Boat Show 2026. This represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Dufour’s flagship sailing yachts in a highly specified configuration, available for immediate delivery following the show.

Configured in a refined 3-cabin owner’s layout, this Dufour 54 is designed for discerning owners seeking space, comfort, and long-range capability. The forward section is dedicated to a full-beam owner’s suite, while two aft guest cabins provide generous accommodations. This build is further enhanced with a dedicated home office and an upgraded layout featuring additional shower facilities, creating a highly functional interior suited for extended cruising or remote living onboard.

The yacht is exceptionally well equipped with Dufour’s Ocean, Adventure, and advanced electronic sailing and cruising packages, delivering a seamless balance between performance and ease of handling. The cockpit is designed for both sailing and entertaining, featuring premium seating, a GRP hardtop with integrated windscreen, sun lounging areas, and a fully equipped outdoor galley with plancha and refrigeration.

Powered by an upgraded 110 HP Volvo Penta saildrive engine, Hull #9 delivers powerful, efficient performance under power, complemented by a four-blade folding propeller for reduced drag under sail. The addition of bow and retractable stern thrusters ensures precise maneuverability in tight marinas and busy harbors.

This Dufour 54 is further outfitted with premium systems including generator, air conditioning, advanced electronics, and upgraded deck equipment, positioning it as a true turnkey yacht capable of extended autonomous cruising.

Scheduled for debut at the Annapolis Boat Show 2026, Hull #9 presents one of the most compelling opportunities in today’s market—offering a fully optioned flagship sailing yacht ready for immediate delivery and exploration of the U.S. East Coast and beyond.
