About Bareboat Catamaran Dufour 48
The 2019 Dufour 48 represents the French builder's assured entry into catamaran design, penned by Umberto Felci. This is a yacht conceived entirely around outdoor entertaining, with three distinct social spaces that unfold across her generous deck plan. The generous flybridge dominates, featuring an L-shaped settee, helm station, and generous double sunpad. Below, the 26-foot wide cockpit provides substantial seating for eight, whilst the bow offers twin sunpads separated by hard deck and punctuated by small trampoline sections.
Interior accommodation comprises five cabins (four doubles plus one twin) sleeping up to eleven guests, with a dedicated skipper cabin. The layout prioritises comfort without compromise, making her equally suited to family cruises or larger group charters. She arrives in immaculate condition throughout, with contemporary finishes reflecting her recent build year.
Notable deck equipment includes remote windlass control with chain counter, cockpit shower, dinghy, galley fridge, and optional self-tacking jib configuration. A bimini and hardtop provide weather protection on the flybridge, whilst sprayhood coverage enhances all-weather usability. Visibility is exceptional in all quarters, though docking astern will benefit from a crew member's assistance.

The Charter Experience
Bareboat charter of the Dufour 48 unlocks the Sardinian coastline at your own pace. From Porto Cervo's glittering anchorages to the granite-framed coves of the Costa Smeralda, this catamaran's shallow draft and dual-hull stability make her an ideal platform for exploring protected bays and pristine beaches. The expansive flybridge transforms anchoring into an event, whilst the bow sunpads offer intimate stargazing at night. The cockpit becomes your dining room, the bow your refuge. Sardinia's consistent summer thermals and protected waters reward capable bareboat sailors with effortless cruising.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week explores the Costa Smeralda's protected waters, anchoring successively at Porto Cervo, Caprera, and Spargi before returning via the Maddalena archipelago. Light winds favour reaching under self-tacking jib, whilst sheltered bays permit leisurely days at anchor with the flybridge as your open-air lounge.
