2001 Dufour 43 CC – Bluewater Cruiser with Upgrades
This 2001 Dufour 43 Centre Cockpit is a rare opportunity to acquire a proven bluewater cruiser. Designed for long-distance sailing, she combines comfort, performance, and self-sufficiency. Currently lying in Leros Marina, Greece, her berth is transferable until June 2025, making her an ideal base in the Aegean.
Built with a solid GRP hull, fin keel, and teak decks, she reflects Dufour’s reputation for quality construction. Power comes from a dependable Volvo MD22P 50HP engine with saildrive propulsion. Her sail plan is versatile, featuring a 130% Kemp genoa from 2019, an Elvstrom Sobstad mainsail, and a spinnaker for downwind passages.
Equipped for independence at sea, she carries a generator, solar panels, inverter, and four new leisure batteries. The interior offers three spacious cabins, two heads, and finely crafted solid wood joinery. A convertible saloon table provides an extra berth, making her comfortable for extended cruising or living aboard.
Navigation is well-supported with a B&G chart plotter, AIS receiver, autopilot, and Furuno radar. On deck, a bimini top, sprayhood, swim ladder, and cockpit table enhance everyday sailing life. A Yamaha big tube dinghy with Honda outboard ensures easy access to shore from any anchorage.
Meticulously maintained and continuously upgraded, this Dufour 43 CC is ocean-ready and waiting for her next adventure. Contact us today to arrange a viewing in Leros, Greece.

The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.
Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours
