Helm Become Dufour Catamarans Agent

Helm are very excited to announce that we have become the UK agent for Dufour Catamarans. This means we can offer Dufour Catamarans to our clients for use in the UK and overseas.

You can opt for a private purchase, or a charter management programme, where we will place the yacht in a charter fleet and all maintenance and running costs will be looked after on your behalf.

Dufour launched the impressive Dufour 48, their first ever catamaran, in 2018 and James went out to test hull number 9 in October 2019. You can read his review in Sailing Today here.

They have since launched the new Cervetti 44, available in both power and sail versions!

Why Choose a Dufour 48?

Superb Performance

This stunning Umberto Felci-designed yachts combine sleek lines with a sailing performance unparalleled among rival catamarans, and a level of comfort that most yachts can only dream of.

Dufour’s performance sailing background is clear in the nice little touches that make the Cervettis slick, efficient and a pleasure to sail. This really is the catamaran to convert any monohull purist.

The dreadnought bow stands out against the boxy shape of most modern catamarans. It looks both beautiful and fast, and it is.

Absolute Comfort

This high end yacht is just as comfortable on charter in the Mediterranean as she would be on long bluewater legs.

The Dufour 48 offers all the benefits of a 50-foot cat, with better sailing performance, at the price of a 45-footer.

It is available in four and five cabin layouts, with island beds in the forward cabins, making them significantly larger than similar sized rivals.

On the water prices start from £540,000 plus VAT for the basic model, including sails, electric winch and navigation pack.

We’re also able to offer fully customisable bespoke options to suit your requirements. Please get in touch with Peter directly for more information.

Dufour 48 (2021)

An amazing brand-new Dufour 48, the first catamaran from the world-famous Dufour Yachts.

Beautifully designed, with a well thought out layout, the new 48 bridges the gap in the 45 - 50 foot catamaran market. Enormous lounge cushions on the bow twinned with a pad and seating on the flybridge giving you mountains of space to soak up the summer sun.

Sunreef 60

The Sunreef 60 is the epitome of beauty, style and comfort on the water.

Her clever design incorporates Sunreef’s signature sleek lines, a large forward lounge area, and an open flybridge with space for a jacuzzi, BBQ and wet bar.

Much larger internally than her 60ft rivals, this is a really premium yacht, very well built and finished with flair.
