2011 Dufour 525 Grand'Large

FULL WARRANTIES!

Here for your consideration is the Flagship of the Dufour range of performance cruising yachts, the award-winning Dufour 525. Voted Best Full Size Cruiser by Cruising World magazine, the Dufour 525 manages to blend incredible room down below and still retain a sleek profile and totally uncluttered deck for safe offshore voyaging.

Her sailing performance is outstanding in light, medium or heavy air. She simply works in all conditions thanks to the Italian hull design by Umberto Felci and the deck and interior expertise of Patrick Roseo.

Spacious, beautiful, fast. A drop down transom provides access to Dinghy storage and provides a great swim platform.


The Dufour 525 Grand'large is modern, featuring straightforward lines and strong design characteristics, yet has traditional elements which make the profile timeless and enduring. As on all Doufour Yachts, sailing performance is never compromised by this boat's many redeeming features.

Consistent with Dufour's long-standing reputation, the Dufour 485 features a very spacious aft cabin fitted out with ample and intelligently designed storage spaces. The atmosphere is cozy, warm and filled with light. Her interior is built with real wood rarely found in the competition?s production yachts. As soon as you enter her Salon, you?ll know you?ve found a yacht unlike any other in the marina. Her high-quality grains, hand-made cabinets, plush soft-goods are borrowed from a different era of European yacht-building. Behind the walls, you will be at peace, knowing all electrical systems, plumbing, and structural processes have been done right. Wiring is clearly labeled, plumbing fits and doesn?t leak, and bulkheads are built to last.
