Dufour Yachts is a French company, based in La Rochelle, that is renowned for their quality sailboats and yachts. Founded in 1964 by Robert Dufour, the company started with the ambition to design and build innovative and ground-breaking sailing yachts. The company quickly rose to prominence, becoming a benchmark not only in France but in the wider sailing world.
In the 1980s, Dufour acquired an English boat manufacturing brand, Jachtbouw Brouwer, to expand its reach beyond France. The company used modern and state-of-the-art materials to develop boats with improved performance and responsiveness at sea. This commitment to using the best technology and materials resulted in the Dufour Yachts brand becoming even more popular over the years.
Today, Dufour produces very diverse boats with different designs and sizes in order to match the needs of both experienced and novice sailors. From the large Grand Large model to the yacht range, the boat manufacturer is successful in meeting the expectations of sailors worldwide.
