2017 Dufour 512 GL, 350 000 USD

Meticulously maintained, never chartered. Multiple upgrades including custom solar arch/dinghy lift, Victron Quattro, new sail drive, and dual Raymarine Axiom touchscreen chartplotters.

'Avontuur' is a Dufour 512 Grand Large that has never been chartered and is 100% ready for the Caribbean sailing season. Offered by her second owners, she is ready for her new owners and immediate delivery in the heart of the Caribbean.

'Avontuur' has benefited from some thoughtful upgrades to make life on the water simple and comfortable. All the towels, linens, dishes, pots and pans, glassware, spare parts, tools, beach chairs, snorkel gear, and fishing equipment stay aboard, so you only need to bring your clothes, provision, and GO SAILING!

Her generous decks and spacious interior are matched by a long list of highlights and upgrades, including a new bimini and sprayhood, custom solar/dinghy davit arch, electric drop-down transom door, retractable bow thruster, watermaker, generator, AC throughout, a Gori 3-blade folding propeller, Raymarine navigation package, cockpit BBQ, fridge and wet bar integrated into the cockpit table, and a tender with outboard. With twin helms, electric winches, and a fixed bowsprit, she is set up for short-handed sailing. She is an easy-to-handle performance cruiser built for comfortable bluewater cruising.

Down below is the well-lit and spacious salon with the C-shaped settee to port with a centerline and sliding bench seat and a folding and retractable table to make a large berth for additional guests or a place to relax on long passages. To starboard, the settee and forward-facing nav station slide aft to convert to create a generous sofa or berth.

Dufour took a fresh approach to the galley, positioning it forward of the salon table and splitting it in two, allowing for ample countertop space, a double-drawer fridge to starboard, and a top-load freezer to port alongside the 3-burner gimbaled stove/oven with a cover, sink, and ample storage throughout, including the clever wine cellar under the salon floor.

Forward is the master cabin with the modified queen-sized island berth, separate head and shower stalls, and aft are the two generous guest cabins to port and starboard. Each has its own ensuite, but port is larger with a separate shower.

'Avontuur' has never been chartered, was recently commissioned for the season with a fresh bottom job in November 2026, and splashed in Grenada. She is currently making her way north up the Caribbean chain en route to the BVI. Contact us today to arrange a showing. We should have a new photo set when the vessel reaches the BVI sometime in December.
