The Dufour 4800 from 1982 stands out as a solid, ocean-capable cruiser that has benefited from extensive recent upgrades, making her a dependable and efficient choice for both private sailing and light commercial use. Her hull and underwater sections were fully serviced in 2022 with no osmosis detected, while key mechanical components, including the shaft, propeller, and structural fittings, were renewed at the same time. The Volvo Penta 25 HP engine was comprehensively rebuilt in 2024, ensuring smooth and reliable performance. With upgraded standing and running rigging, a versatile sail inventory, and a modernized electrical system featuring solar power, the yacht is well-prepared for autonomous cruising. Onboard, the boat offers a practical and comfortable layout designed to accommodate up to six people. Two double cabins and a convertible saloon provide ample sleeping space, complemented by a fully equipped galley and a functional head. The exterior has seen significant improvements, including a new bimini, refreshed cockpit upholstery, non-slip deck coating, and an extended swim platform that enhances both usability and onboard leisure. Additional features such as a dinghy with outboard, water toys, and a wide range of extras make this yacht ready for immediate enjoyment. With a valid charter license in place until August 2026, she also presents a strong opportunity for those looking to combine sailing with income potential. As the yacht is actively cruising between islands with no access to nearby hotels or onshore lodging, viewings are arranged through a “Trial Charter” format. Interested buyers are invited to stay onboard for a minimum of two nights at a rate of $180 USD per person, per day. This includes accommodation on the Dufour 4800, all meals, use of snorkeling equipment, and guided sailing within the surrounding islands. Beyond simply viewing the boat, this experience allows buyers to fully evaluate her performance and onboard systems in real conditions. Should a purchase be agreed, the total cost of the stay will be deducted from the final price.
