2022 Dufour 530, 564 900 USD

This extremely well-equipped, updated Dufour 530 carries an inventory and list of spares to equip her for a planned Transpacific crossing, now cancelled.Are you looking for an ocean-going yacht without the teething problems of a brand-new boat?This liveaboard 2022 Dufour 530 has been cruising for the past two and a half years and is thoroughly shaken down. The owner and his partner sailed from the island of Malta, crossed the Atlantic in November 2023, and have since cruised throughout the Caribbean and along the U.S. East Coast, covering approximately 15,000 nautical miles.A custom NV cockpit full rear enclosure transforms the cockpit into an additional dry living space, offering excellent protection from rain and sea spray.The knowledge and experience gained during these extensive passages have resulted in a yacht that is now set up to a very high, thoughtfully upgraded standard.Her robust construction features a solid fiberglass hull with an integrated structural grid, topped by an infused deck. A plumb bow and plumb transom maximize waterline length, while the drop-down swim platform enhances both performance and functionality. The 9/10 fractional rig includes a tapered, deck-stepped Z-Spar mast with double spreaders, delivering strength, efficiency, and offshore capability.
