This Dufour Grand Large 375 is a very striking boat in good condition and comes loaded with all the extras you could possibly want, even its own Wine Cellar! She has clean and elegant lines that make for a high-performance hull and a cruising cockpit that doesn’t compromise on space, safety, and ease of handling, further optimized by its great cockpit tent that creates a whole extra room and twin wheels for practical cruising. Below decks, she once again offers an abundance of space with a very light and airy feel throughout. The forward cabin is a good size and offers excellent headroom and sumptuous comfort, while twin aft double cabins are extremely spacious. Her saloon offers very sociable seating around the table which also converts to provide an extra double berth, and she even has a forward-facing navigation station. Given the space and accommodation, you could easily believe you are on-board a 40ft + yacht. The galley is very seamanlike and has been designed with sailing in mind and is fully equipped with one of the biggest fridges we have ever seen and an abundance of work surface for preparing meals for all the crew, making for very comfortable cruising.

Being the Adventure version of this already great design, this Dufour Grand Large 375 has a massive spec and oozes class, and she will certainly turn heads wherever she goes. Not only is she comfortable, but she has plenty of onboard space for safe and fun cruising with family and friends, but is equally manageable short-handed. She combines the very best in comfort, ergonomic design, performance, and designer looks to deliver unbeatable value for money.

She is currently lying in Southampton and viewing can be arranged through Aspire Boat Sales.
