Broker's Comments
This Dufour 454 Classic (1997) is a standout example of one of Dufour’s most respected cruising designs, combining comfort, performance, and excellent build quality. What truly sets this yacht apart is her rare 4-cabin, 2-bathroom layout, an unusual and highly desirable configuration for a boat of this size, making her ideal for family cruising or charter use with generous privacy for all guests.
The boat is very well equipped and thoughtfully upgraded for comfortable, independent cruising, featuring both solar panels and wind generation, allowing extended time at anchor with minimal reliance on shore power. She also comes with a dinghy and outboard, making shore access easy and practical.
Overall, the vessel is presented in very good condition, reflecting careful ownership and consistent maintenance. Systems are in good working order, the interior is clean and welcoming, and the boat is ready to sail and enjoy immediately.
This Dufour 454 Classic offers an excellent opportunity to own a spacious, capable, and well-equipped cruising sailboat that continues to be highly regarded for her seaworthiness and liveaboard comfort.
