Description

The ‘Classic’ series of yachts from Dufour were built specifically for the private owner market rather than charter companies. Designed for the comfortable family cruising the Dufour Classic 38 was offered with a range of layouts and keel configurations. As will all ‘Classic’ range yachts the interior fit out and finish was to a higher standard than you would expect to find on many production yachts.

The Dufour 38 Classis LAURANNA is a 3 double cabin layout with the sought after double heads. She is fitted with the shallow draft wing keel.
