Imagine setting sail on a yacht that perfectly blends performance, comfort, and timeless elegance.
That’s the Dufour 385 Grand Large — a true “performance cruiser” designed to offer both exhilarating sailing and luxurious living at sea.

The Dufour 385 Grand Large is renowned for her balanced handling and solid performance.
Equipped with a fin keel and spade rudder, she responds precisely and remains steady under sail — even in stronger winds.
With a sail area to displacement ratio of around 16, she’s lively and responsive, while her ballast ratio (~28%) ensures reassuring stability.
She carries a moderate displacement, giving her the perfect mix of comfort, speed, and seaworthiness — ideal for coastal cruising or extended voyages.

Whether you’re sailing single-handed or with family and friends, the Dufour 385 Grand Large delivers an enjoyable, confidence-inspiring experience.

Step below deck and you’ll immediately feel why this yacht stands out in her class.

• Two bathrooms provide extra privacy and comfort — a rare luxury on a 38-footer.

• A bright and spacious saloon with panoramic windows fills the interior with natural light.

• The wide beam (3.93 m) creates generous living space, allowing you to move freely and relax comfortably.

• Ample storage throughout the cabins and galley makes life on board practical and organized.

• Warm wood finishes and clever ergonomics give the interior a modern yet inviting atmosphere.

This layout makes the 385 Grand Large perfect for longer cruises or weekends away — comfort without compromise.

• Draft: approx. 1.76 m — ideal for a wide variety of harbors and sailing grounds.

• Engine: typically a reliable Volvo Penta diesel (40 hp).

• Fuel capacity: about 160 L — Water capacity: up to 200 L.
