The Dufour 54 is a modern fractional sloop designed by Felci Yacht Design with interiors by Lucas Ardizio, built by Dufour Yachts in France. As a 2025 model, it represents the latest iteration of the brand's performance cruising line, featuring a displacement of 36376.27 lb and a beam of 17.22 ft.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits performance-oriented coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize speed and modern interior layouts, as indicated by the high SA/D ratio of 22.69 and the prevalence of North sails and bimini installations in owner reports.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.08 and a comfort ratio of 25.07, the Dufour 54 is designed for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than heavy bluewater passage making, reflecting a performance bias over heavy displacement stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau 54 and Jeanneau 54, which share similar fractional rig configurations, beam dimensions, and a focus on light displacement performance cruising from the same era.
