Dufour Yachts DUFOUR 525 GL used

Spacious and meticulously maintained, this 2007 Dufour 525 GL stands out as a high-performance sailing yacht currently available in Italy. Having undergone a comprehensive refit focused on ocean-crossing capabilities, the vessel presents in excellent condition. At 15.31 meters, this yacht offers generous living space and high-end technical reliability, making it a compelling option for those seeking a ready-to-sail blue-water cruiser. The propulsion and mechanical systems were overhauled between 2022 and 2024. Key updates include a new 110 hp Yanmar engine, a new inverter, and a titanium Ewol propeller. The sailing setup is equally robust, featuring a new 2024 Selden furler, a new mainsail with sliders, and advanced navigation tech, including a Raymarine Quantum 2 Doppler radar and a Raymarine 12-inch GPS. All standing rigging, lifelines, and running rigging have been replaced. Designed for maximum guest comfort, the interior layout comprises 4 cabins and 4 baths, plus a dedicated skipper's cabin with its own head. The cabin atmosphere has been elevated with a newly refinished light-colored sole, repainted interior woodwork, and updated LED lighting throughout. The galley is fully modernized with new fridge and freezer motors installed in 2022, along with a 2024 60-liter stainless steel boiler and a new Quick battery charger. This Dufour 525 GL is ideally suited for an owner looking to undertake long-range sailing without the need for immediate system upgrades. Its deep 2.6m draft and 4.9m beam provide a stable, fast platform, while the comprehensive electronics suite ensures safety and ease of handling during extended passages. The addition of an AIS transceiver, bow thruster with new components, and a watermaker further bolsters its credentials for live-aboard voyaging. This unit is VAT-eligible and available for purchase in Italy with potential financing options. Interested buyers are invited to contact the brokerage to schedule a viewing or request further technical documentation regarding the extensive 2022-2024 refit works.
