Dufour 37

2026 Dufour 37

This 2026 Dufour 37 is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey, revenue-producing sailboat with established demand, full utilization, and professional management already in place.

The vessel is currently enrolled in the SailTime program, is home-ported at McKinley Marina in Milwaukee, and must remain in the SailTime program for the 2026 summer season. Importantly, the boat already has strong membership participation and dependable revenue, making this an ideal acquisition for a buyer seeking predictable cash flow with reduced operational risk.

Imposing, optimised dimensions for a 10-metre sailing yacht

The Dufour 37 boasts remarkable dimensions: a total length of 10.77 metres and a beam of 3.8 metres. These proportions blend elegance and stability. Thanks to the skilful design of the interior and the presence of various hull and deck windows, Dufour has succeeded in creating a generous feeling of space, hitherto unknown in the 10-metre range. The double door to the forward cabin further enlarges the living space.

Luxurious interiors for this 10-metre yacht

Spacious and comfortable living areas

In addition to its impressive nautical features, the Dufour 37 excels in the area of interior comfort. With a headroom of 1.8 metres and intelligent use of space, all those on board enjoy a sense of freedom rarely seen on a boat of this size.

The saloon is luminous, with the décor comprising carefully crafted materials, leading to a bright and warm atmosphere. The 3-cabin version can accommodate up to 8 guests thanks to the convertible saloon. The 2-cabin version has an extra-large heads compartment and a large deck locker.

A practical, fully equipped galley

The L-shaped galley is found on the port side of both versions, opposite the bathroom with its great facilities. In general, the interior design of the Dufour 37 has been conceived to make the most out of the space available. Several storage areas are accessible under the berths and bench seats, as well as in various cupboards located above the hull windows in the saloon.

Comfortable cabins

The cabins offer a private and comfortable place to rest after a day at sea. With spacious beds and built-in storage, the Dufour 37’s cabins have nothing to envy from the rooms of a top-of-the-range hotel. The meticulous finish and the use of quality materials contribute to creating a soothing and refined environment.

Adaptable deck layout

For those seeking a little more cruising pleasure, the Ocean version is a must. Equipped with 2 additional winches on the cockpit coaming and a Dacron genoa with adjustable sheet cars. The double mainsheet can be trimmed from either side. The Performance version goes even further for racing enthusiasts. At the helm, there’s a good view forward and a choice of seating positions. The two Jefa helm stations are topped by black instrument panels and an integrated handrail for easy movement around the cockpit.

A hull designed for performance

Based on a design by Umberto Felci, the hull of the Dufour 37 offers an excellent power-to-weight ratio. This balanced ratio means the boat can maintain a good speed, even in light airs, without sacrificing any of the handling characteristics. Thanks to her fluid lines, the boat cuts through the waves with remarkable ease.

• Optimised power-to-weight ratio
• Lightweight, robust materials
• Fluid, dynamic hull lines

With a draft of 1.9 metres, the Dufour 37 can easily navigate a wide range of waters, from the coastline to deeper seas. She also boasts 18.8 hp of engine power, which is invaluable when manoeuvring in harbour or if there’s no wind.

Space comes first!

Space comes first! Compared to other yachts in her category, the Dufour 37 stands out for the amount of headroom, the imposing deck layout and the huge interior/exterior living spaces that result. The Dufour 37 offers incomparable natural light, further enhancing the feeling of space on board. The forward cabin, accessible via two large doors, also accentuates the impression of space below deck.

A true Cruising Boat

The on-board comfort in no way detracts from the sailing ability of the Dufour 37. Even in light winds, the boat accelerates and the pleasure of sailing can be felt from 10 to 12 knots. The standard self-tacking jib ensures particularly easy handling, and the genoa gives greater performance. The Dufour 37 is available in 3 versions: Easy, Ocean and Performance, to suit the most demanding sailing programmes, from pleasure cruising to amateur racing.
