Dufour Gib Sea 37 from 2001/2002, presented in excellent condition and updated, located in Årøsund.
The boat is named Gib Sea Girl and is a spacious family cruiser with a well-thought-out layout that makes life on board easy and comfortable. The bright salon offers ample space with around 2 meters of headroom, while the forward cabin features a double bed, and the two aft cabins are equipped with double beds. The Dufour Gib Sea 37 is therefore well-suited for longer voyages with family and friends.
The boat has been meticulously maintained, and the seller has owned the Dufour Gib Sea 37 for 6 years, being the second owner. The engine has been serviced annually, with the latest service completed in 2026 including oil, filters, fuel filter, and impeller. The engine is a Volvo Penta MD2030-D BT diesel with a fixed shaft producing 29 hp and freshwater cooling. In 2024, a stainless steel exhaust elbow was installed along with a new valve cover gasket, while the low-pressure pump was replaced in 2026.
In 2023, the boat received a new shaft, shaft bearing, and blackjack along with a 3-blade Flex-o-fold propeller. Cruising speed is approximately 6.5 knots with a consumption of about 2 liters per hour, while maximum speed reaches around 7.5 knots. The rudder bearing was replaced by the yard in 2022, and some sea valves have been upgraded to composite materials.
This Dufour Gib Sea 37 features an Elvstrøm cruising laminate mainsail from 2018 with battens and two reefs as well as an Elvstrøm cruising laminate genoa from 2025. Additionally, there is a gennaker from 2019/2020 equipped with a new snuffer sock and deck bag from 2026 along with complete gennaker gear. The lazy jacks were replaced in 2025. The sails promise many years of use ahead while noting that the age of each sail should be considered.
The navigation and electronic equipment have been continuously updated. In 2025, a new Garmin UHD92sv plotter and Garmin Wind display were installed; the boat also has an UHD72sv plotter below deck. There’s a Garmin GNX wind instrument, AIS transceiver with 5W output, NMEA 2000 network, Cobra Marine VHF radio, Raymarine wheel-mounted autopilot from 2022, compass, depth sounder, and navigation lights.
The electrical system was upgraded in 2026 with two 100 Ah lithium batteries for consumption along with a 120 W solar panel on the coach roof featuring Victron charge controller. There’s a complete Victron power management system with display and Bluetooth capability along with an 80 Ah starter battery and a separate 140 Ah battery for the bow thruster. The bow thruster is a powerful Craftsman model from 2022 equipped with its own 140 Ah Varta battery and Victron charger. A Victron battery charger and shore power connection are also included. All onboard lighting has been replaced with LED fixtures including LED lights in the cockpit and at the aft entry stairs as well as comfort lighting in the salon.
Below deck, the Dufour Gib Sea 37 is fitted with a gas oven and stove with two burners, refrigerator box with freezer compartment, and sink. There’s an electric freshwater toilet from 2025 featuring its own 200-liter freshwater tank and separate holding tank of 45 liters. Additionally, there’s a shower, hot water system, and pressurized water supply. An Autoterm oil heater comes equipped with display controls and GSM management accessible from all compartments including the cockpit. The freshwater tank holds up to 450 liters while the fuel tank capacity is at 160 liters.
Comfort on board has also been updated. All cushions throughout the boat are custom-made and just a few years old; custom cushions for cockpit benches are also included. The cockpit can be fully enclosed using the custom-made cockpit tent; sprayhood was added in 2022. Access to the cockpit from the transom is via a folding ladder. There’s also a swim platform, swim ladder, and deck shower at the stern.
Additionally installed are new rigging along with a stainless steel Bruce anchor weighing 20 kg complete with chain and lead line. The bilge pump can be operated both electrically and manually; there’s an emergency tiller as well as two fire extinguishers.
