Dufour 460 GL 14.15m Sailing Yacht

DOLCE VITA is the largest Dufour yacht in the fleet. Her clean lines and broad beam make her a pleasure to spend time on as well as an easy yacht to coastal cruise on.

The primary focus of this yacht is the social side of sailing, the entertaining. A fantastic feature is the neat pop-up galley in the aft end of the cockpit and incorporated into a helmsman’s seat, the “floor” of which is the drop-down transom. It’s complete with built-in gas barbecue, sink and plenty of counter space for whipping up snacks and meals. The sailing side of the equation is definitely important on this yacht, but when the hook’s down and the day is done, you’d best be ready to party.

Dufour has done a couple of interesting things with the layout to facilitate the fun including in the main cabin, they have positioned the beam-width galley all the way forward, basically installing it as part of the athwartships bulkhead that delineates the saloon from the forward master stateroom. It really opens up the space for entertaining.

All the interior spaces are light and bright, thanks to the pale oak panelling, large overhead hatches and deck-level and through-hull portholes. This yacht is a joy to spend time on whether at the helm or below deck.
