Dufour 425 Grand Large is an exceptionally well-equipped and meticulously maintained example of the sought-after Dufour 425 Grand Large. Launched in 2008 and never chartered, this performance cruiser has been extensively upgraded for serious offshore sailing while remaining easy to handle solo or with a light crew.
Featuring a robust sail wardrobe, upgraded Raymarine electronics including dual Axiom chart plotters, a reliable Volvo D2-55 engine with saildrive (professionally serviced), and a full suite of safety and cruising gear including solar power, liferaft, EPIRB, and a new Rocna anchor, HONEY is ready for immediate bluewater adventures.
Her spacious 3-cabin, 3-head layout makes her ideal for long-term cruising or liveaboard life, offering both comfort and privacy. Thoughtfully designed and maintained, she boasts a recently antifouled hul, all-new running rigging (2023), and upgraded deck hardware for performance and reliability.
Equipped with a Takacat tender, Suzuki outboard, full galley with 4-burner gas cooker, new freshwater pump and filter, plus a comprehensive inventory of tools, spares, and safety gear, Dufour 425 Grand Large stands out as a turnkey cruising yacht.
Whether coastal hopping or crossing oceans, she offers a rare blend of speed, comfort, and dependability.
