Dufour 390 Sea Essay

Boat Details

This Dufour 390 is a sharply contemporary design from Umberto Felci, offering 3 double cabins, 2 heads and a large galley for entertaining.

Representing the latest generation of Dufour Yachts, the result is a high volume, well mannered, attractive family cruising yacht that sails well. She offers all that you would naturally expect on a modern yacht.

The distinct hull chines extend well forward to generate greater performance, both for up and downwind sailing. This modern hull shape also helps create the much appreciated interior volume.

Clear uncluttered side decks allow unhindered movement and ample space for relaxing.

The drop down stern platform incorporates a bathing ladder and opens up the space for the life raft and additional storage under the cockpit floor.

The fully enclosed cockpit feels safe and protected, as do the moulded bulwarks when going forward.

The two cockpit lockers offer ample storage.
