Description

The 1982 Dufour 4800 is a well-maintained and thoughtfully upgraded cruising sailboat, offering a perfect balance of performance, comfort, and autonomy. Her Volvo Penta MD11C 25 HP engine was fully rebuilt in June 2024, ensuring reliable operation, while recent upgrades such as a new two-blade propeller (2022), renewed standing rigging (2023), and a modernized electrical system with 450W solar panels (2025) enhance both safety and efficiency.

Construction

The hull was treated in 2022 with no signs of osmosis, and key structural components, including the shaft and fittings, were replaced, reflecting consistent and careful ownership.

On deck, recent improvements include a new bimini, upgraded cockpit cushions, anti-slip painted surfaces, and an extended swim platform with an outdoor shower.

Importantly, she holds a valid charter license for up to 2 crew and 4 passengers until August 2026, making her an attractive turnkey opportunity ready for delivery at the end of May.

For prospective buyers wishing to view the boat, please note that the owner is currently sailing between islands where no nearby hotels or shore accommodations are available. To facilitate visits, a “Trial Charter” experience is offered, with a minimum stay of two nights at a rate of $180 USD per person, per day. This includes full accommodation onboard the Dufour 4800, all meals, snorkeling equipment, and local sailing around the archipelago. Importantly, should the buyer proceed with the purchase, the full cost of the stay will be deducted from the final sale price. This arrangement provides a practical and immersive way to assess the yacht’s condition while experiencing life on board.
