01 — The marque

Sixty years
out of
La Rochelle

Dufour has built sailing yachts at La Rochelle since 1964, when Michel Dufour — an engineer who raced what he drew — launched the Sylphe and set the house style: quick enough to reward a good helmsman, civilised enough to live aboard for a season. Six decades later the range is drawn by Umberto Felci, whose partnership with the yard now runs past twenty years and has produced hulls that are genuinely fast under sail without asking the crew to work for it.

What most owners come for is the Dufour way of living aboard — wide aft sections, a cockpit designed around the galley and the grill rather than bolted on afterwards, and a rig that one person can shorten. Synergy is Dufour’s Strategic Alliance Partner in Greece: specification and build slot handled with the yard, delivery and commissioning in Athens or Preveza, and the year-round care that keeps a boat sailing rather than sitting.

What ownership looks like

Athens · Preveza · Limassol

New builds to orderLayout, rig, upholstery, electronics and canvas specified directly with La Rochelle, then delivered, flagged and commissioned in Athens or Preveza by the team that sold her.

Sea trials & handoverTime on the water before you commit — trials in the Saronic and the Ionian — followed by a full handover day covering systems, rig tune and first passage planning.

Care, charter & communityYear-round technical management, crewing and berth arrangements, charter placement that helps offset ownership costs in the months you are not aboard — and a place in Dufour’s owner community, from the Dufour Cup at Preveza onward.
