Dufour 470

Yacht Model Overview

The Dufour 470 is a sailing yacht built for owners and charter guests who expect real comfort under sail. From the shipyard’s own specifications, the 47-foot class is designed around a performance hull with a modern interior layout, so the boat feels steady in coastal passages and confident when the wind comes up. In our fleet for charter, the Dufour 470 appears in multiple cabin configurations, because the same hull platform can be arranged for different group sizes. That flexibility is practical! You can travel as a smaller crew, or you can add extra sleeping places when families or friends want to be together.

On charter models delivered between 2021 and 2026, the layout is offered in versions ranging from three cabins with six berths and two heads, up to larger arrangements with four, five, and even six cabin variants. Depending on the version, the yacht may carry additional berths beyond the standard cabin berths, and the number of WC facilities can be two, three, four, or five. For a crew planning evening routines and morning departures, that matters. Short passages feel smoother when everyone has convenient access.

The deck and sail plan are typical of a fast cruising sailing yacht. The Dufour 470 is intended for hands-on sailing, with trimming and steering that reward attentive watchkeeping. Yet it is also comfortable for those who prefer a relaxed rhythm: reefing when needed, steering by feel, and letting the yacht settle on a steady course. “470” class yachts like this are commonly used for week-long itineraries, combining marina time with anchor stops.

For charter budgeting, our weekly rate range for the Dufour 470 sits between 2,798.55 and 5,695.75 EUR, with an average around 3,763 EUR. In 11 countries, this model has become popular for sailing yacht charter, because it balances space, sailing character, and the ability to match the accommodation to your party size. If you want a yacht that looks refined, sails properly, and works for charter logistics—this is one of the most reliable choices in its segment.
