Dufour 365 Grand Large – 2007. EU VAT Paid

The Dufour 365 Grand Large is a very popular model, designed by Umberto Felci for Dufour. This version is the even more attractive 2-cabin version with two large double beds and even possible to have a third double in the Salon. There is a reason it’s called Grand Large – the feeling when you are in the boat is the one you otherwise only have in much larger yachts, but at the same time good performance. Having the 2-cabin version also gives you a wonderful bathroom with large shower area and provide you with a huge storage area in the cockpit locker providing space for both liferaft, extra jerrycans, tank for outboard and deflated dinghy or other water toys…

With this Dufour model you simply get a perfect sized sailboat with great sense of style and comfort. You may both do live aboard and go cruising or simply enjoy sailing and stayovers with room for family and friends. She is a great sailor and so easy to handle with all control from cockpit. Even sailing singlehanded is easy in a boat like this designed for comfort.

This version gives you the perfect kitchen alongside on portside with a large refrigerator, a double sink, a 2-burner stove, and oven. The salon has a large U-shaped sofa with a large table and a seat for two people on the other side. Around the table you easy sit 6-8 people. This can be transferred to a large extra double bed if needed. Lots of storage space both behind and below sofa as well as several storage areas in the floor.

Master cabin is in the forward part of the boat with a nice comfortable double bed on starboard side and good size closets and cupboards.

In the aft she has a extra large double bed cabin, also with nice storage closets and of course great extra access to the saildrive and back side of engine.

The bathroom is something extra for a boat this size, the toilet and shower area separated from the basin and closets by a nicely designed Plexiglas wall and door instead of having traditional shower curtains.

The boat was originally purchased by former owner in France and sailed in that area the first years. In 2016 the current owner bought hear and have since then sailed both in France, In the Mediterranean, Spain and Portugal.  She is now on a permanent berth in Portimao on the beautiful coast of Algarve. She has proven her strength in both longer overnight sailtrips on open water and also coastal waters for day and weekend trips. The Dufour 365 GL been proven the perfect and cost optimal size for both longer trips and for day/vacation use.  The current owner no longer finds the time to use her and now wish to let her on to new owners. The contract for the berth in Marina de Portimao can follow with the boat if requested and have a lower rate than for the normal monthly or yearly new contracts.
