Designed by Felci Yacht Design and featuring interiors by Ardizio Design, the Dufour 44 brings elegance and performance into a sleek 45-foot sailing yacht. Its infusion-style hull construction and optimized sail plan ensure high responsiveness under sail, while the spacious cockpit and clean deck layout enhance safety and comfort. Well-suited for both thrill-seeking sailors and those who are new to cruising, every passage is made effortless onboard the Dufour 44.

Relax, Entertain, and Sail with Ease

Step inside the Dufour 44 and discover an interior crafted for comfort. The saloon spans the full beam of the yacht and includes a large dining table with seating for up to 10 guests, making it perfect for socializing or dining at anchor. Multiple galley layout options let you customize the space to fit your preferences.

Cabins that make the most of the available space, wide companionways, and integrated storage all serve as evidence of Dufour’s focus on functionality and elegance. And the cockpit is huge for a 45-footer. It’s actually one of the largest in its class, with double access to the swim platform, which makes jumping into the water at anchor too easy to resist.

Performance-Driven Design with Comfort Built In

The Dufour 44 monohull is 13.91 meters overall and features a beam of 4.45 meters, giving it excellent stability and volume for offshore or coastal sailing. With a 100 m² total sail area (main + genoa) and a deep 2.2-meter keel, it delivers lively performance without compromising comfort.

Built using infusion and injection techniques for the hull and deck, this model is strong, lightweight, and efficient. A 45 HP engine and dual water tanks (up to 430 L combined) provide the autonomy needed for longer journeys. An electric version is available for eco-conscious sailors.
