Dufour 54

Shown at Cannes in September 2025, the 54 takes over from the 530 at the top of the La Rochelle range. Felci worked a 5.25 m maximum beam carried well aft, less for speed than to open up layout combinations: three, four or five cabins, a galley run athwartships or along one side, and above all a forward owner's suite with a transverse island bed that no direct competitor offered at this length. The deck keeps the house signature — an outdoor galley set into the fold-down transom, with sink, fridge and twin plancha — and adds a lounge deck forward of the mast. The programme is owner-driven offshore cruising, backed by 450 litres of water, an optional rigid hardtop carrying up to 1,300 W of panels and an ODSea hybrid drivetrain. The reservation is mass: 16.6 tonnes light needs breeze, or the Yanmar. Too new to have a used value, it will resell first on the scarcity of large French monohulls.
