Here's what we think about the Dufour 470:
The Dufour 470 is an impressive blend of performance, comfort, and versatility, making it a standout for charter crews. It is available in three configurations—Easy, Ocean, and Performance—tailoring to different sailing styles and crew preferences. The design emphasizes space and functionality, with a spacious cockpit that can comfortably seat up to 10 people, making it great for entertaining at anchor. The large, forward galley setup is another highlight, optimizing space and keeping the cooking area away from the social spaces in the saloon, which is perfect for longer charters where meal prep might be a regular activity.
Compared to other boats in its class, like the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490 or the Oceanis 46.1, the Dufour 470 is heavier, which slightly limits its performance in strong winds. However, it excels in light airs, where its balance and wider hull provide good speed and stability. It’s also known for its ease of handling, thanks to a well-placed helm station with excellent visibility and sail management. While it's not a high-performance racing yacht, it strikes a great balance for charter crews who want a comfortable and capable cruiser with modern features and ample space.
