Description




2001 Dufour 38 Classic | Highly Practical Cruiser with Comfortable Living Space
The 2001 Dufour 38 Classic is a very tidy and well-presented cruising yacht, currently lying in the highly sought-after marina of Agios Nikolaos Marina. Combining Dufour’s renowned sailing performance with comfortable accommodation, she is ideally suited to Mediterranean cruising or extended stays aboard. Her elegant lines, spacious cockpit, and practical layout make her an excellent choice for couples or family cruising. A proven and capable yacht, ready to enjoy immediately.

Powered by the reliable Volvo MD2040C 40hp diesel engine with saildrive, this Dufour 38 Classic is thoughtfully equipped for comfortable Mediterranean cruising. Significant onboard power comes from upgraded domestic batteries and four solar panels, providing excellent autonomy at anchor. Below deck, she offers spacious accommodation for six across three double cabins, complemented by warm wood joinery, blue upholstery, and a bright, practical saloon. The well-equipped galley, onboard WiFi, and comfortable living spaces make her ideally suited to extended cruising or relaxed liveaboard use.

Her cruising inventory is equally impressive, featuring slab reefing mainsail, furling genoa, Garmin navigation equipment, autopilot, electric windlass, sprayhood, bimini, and passerelle. A full cockpit enclosure creates a sheltered and versatile space for comfortable all-season cruising and extended time aboard. The spacious cockpit and deck layout are ideal for Mediterranean living, whether underway or at anchor. A tender with outboard is also included, making exploring ashore simple and convenient.
