Captain's Notes

Ahoy, fellow sailors! Let me share the soul of the 2017 Dufour 382 with you. This beauty not only cuts through the waves with elegance but also carries the legacy of Dufour's craftsmanship. The moment you step aboard, the spacious cockpit welcomes you, perfect for lounging with friends or family as you glide across the water. One of my favorite features is the ergonomic helm, which offers fantastic visibility and responsiveness while under sail. The design cleverly balances performance with comfort—whether you're racing against the wind or enjoying a leisurely cruise, the ride is smooth and stable. The three double cabins provide ample space for weekend getaways or longer voyages, while the saloon, with its convertible table, transforms into another cozy sleeping area when needed. And let’s not forget those evenings spent under the stars, with the gentle lapping of waves as your backdrop. This vessel promises countless adventures ahead, and I'm excited for you to create your own memories on her deck.
