This Dufour 56 Exclusive is a large, comfortable, and luxurious cruising yacht completely equipped for long trips. She has wide teak laid decks, low coach roof, and an electric opening transom with access to the bathing platform. The huge cockpit features two steering pedestals fully equipped with Raymarine electronics, and a big cockpit table with integrated fridge. The transom is equipped with an external galley with barbecue and sink. Standing at the helm you’ll notice that visibility is excellent and that most of the sail-handling is manageable from the cockpit with the help of electric winches. For those who just want to relax can do that on the generous sun-lounging spaces. She comes with 2 in-mast furling main sails (one of them from 2023), two furling genoas (one of them from 2023, and the other self-tacking), furling gennaker, a storm jib from 2023, and a spinnaker boom from 2023. She is, furthermore, equipped with a 150hp diesel engine, a generator, folding propeller, retractable bow thruster, solar panels from 2023 and a water maker from 2023. Further to that, she comes with radar, AIS, life raft, a tender from 2023, covers and spare parts.
Step down via the companion way and you’ll find out that also the space below deck is more than spacious. The interior is fitted out with reversible air-conditioning and the saloon bathes in natural light thanks to the numerous skylights and portholes. The dining area provides comfortably seating for 6 persons. The table is electrically adjustable and can be converted into an extra bed. Forward of the saloon and down a step is the galley, running across the Dufour 56’s full beam. The master cabin with island berth is located forward and has an ensuite head to starboard and a separated shower area to port. The two double bed guest cabins, both with their own ensuite, are located aft. Additionally, there is a skipper cabin with head in the bow that can be reached through a hatch in the deck.
