Bareboat Sailing Yacht Dufour 40

This Dufour 40 combines purposeful design with genuine sailing performance. Clean lines and a simplified deck layout make her intuitive to handle, whether you're cruising the Solent or pushing for speed across open water. Below decks, the generous interior provides comfortable accommodation for three cabins without compromise on the living space that matters when you're spending days at sea.

Built on proven marine engineering, the yacht responds to contemporary materials and systems that reduce the physical demands of sailing whilst preserving the connection to the water. Her hull form works across all points of sail, delivering both efficiency and the kind of motion that experienced sailors appreciate.

Based in Southampton with access to the Solent's established sailing waters, this bareboat charter puts you in control of your voyage. The Dufour 40 suits captains comfortable with independent navigation and sail trim, offering weekend getaways or full-week explorations of the Solent, Isle of Wight passages, and beyond. Optional crew can be arranged by the day should you prefer additional hands on deck, and the yacht supports RYA radar theory training if progression matters to your sailing goals. Racing is available for those keen to test their competitive instincts against like-minded crews.
