The Dufour 520 Grand Large is a luxurious, versatile cruiser designed for comfort and ease of handling, making it a strong option for charter crews. One of the highlights of the 520 is its spacious cockpit and saloon, which offer plenty of room for socializing, dining, and relaxation, enhanced by the wide beam and thoughtful design. Below deck, the interior is flooded with natural light thanks to large side windows and overhead hatches, making the living spaces feel open and inviting. With options for three or four cabins and up to three heads, the 520 can comfortably accommodate larger groups, and its flexible layout makes it ideal for different charter needs.
Sailing the Dufour 520 is made simple with a German-style mainsheet system and self-tacking jib option, perfect for shorthanded sailing. It performs well for a boat its size, with stable handling and a balanced feel in moderate conditions. While it's not designed for racing, the 520 can achieve good cruising speeds and offers a comfortable ride. The large transom and spacious aft platform further enhance the onboard experience, providing easy access to the water.
