Yacht Review: Dufour 460 Grand Large | 2017-Current

High Level Performance With Absolute Comfort

Step aboard and it easy to see why the 460 is called Grand Large — the cockpit is huge.

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY

“All in all, the rather innovative Dufour 460 impressed me. No, it’s not for everyone, especially if your plans include long-range liveaboard cruising. However… if what you’re after is a pleasurable ride for coastal jaunts and vacation sailing you’ll find much to like in this versatile 46-footer.”

“Dufour never set out to revolutionize the way cruising yachts are designed with its Grand Large range. What it has done is produce a really voluminous cruising range that is smart, modestly sporty and very comfortable.”

“Heading down below, you can really see the effects of that generous beam. Basically, coming down the stairs you enter into what can only be described as ‘the lounge’ – saloon just doesn’t cut it. The cabin is so wide there is room for a table which seats eight – both on the bench seat along the wall and on a separate, free-standing seat running along the opposite side of the table.”

Price: From the high $300s.
