A New Era of Elegance: The Dufour Monohull Revolution at Sunsail
At Sunsail, we believe the true spirit of sailing lies in the perfect balance of performance, comfort, and innovation. That’s why we’re delighted to unveil the latest additions to our fleet: the Dufour Monohulls, now featuring an industry-first hardtop bimini.
A New Era of Yacht Ownership
For Sunsail Yacht Owners, this isn’t simply a new model—it’s a new benchmark. These yachts combine Dufour’s renowned naval architecture and reputation for award-winning craftsmanship, with the effortless ownership experience that has made Sunsail a trusted leader for more than 50 years.
This collaboration between Sunsail and Dufour Yachts has produced a monohull range designed exclusively for our Yacht Ownership Programme. Each model features a Yanmar engine, reinforced rigging, stainless steel fittings, bow thrusters, and other premium upgrades. The result? European design flair refined by Sunsail’s fleet expertise—yachts that perform confidently under sail, deliver superior comfort at anchor, and promise peace of mind through professional management across our worldwide network.
The Game-Changer: The Custom Hardtop Bimini
For decades, the classic canvas bimini has been a sailor’s staple. Now, the new Sunsail 41.3, 44.3, and 44.4 redefine the experience with a purpose‑built, permanent hardtop that transforms life on deck.
Exclusive to the Sunsail fleet, this innovation offers:
- Ultimate Protection: A robust shield against the blazing Caribbean sun or an unexpected squall in the Med.
