Dufour 385 Grand Large for Sale – 40th Anniversary Edition with Upgraded Engine and Renovated Interior
This Dufour 385 Grand Large for sale is the 40th Anniversary Edition—celebrating French design and sailing performance in a refined cruising yacht. Whether you’re coastal cruising or heading off on longer passages, she strikes a perfect balance between style, handling, and comfort.
She features a white GRP hull and deck with classic Dufour lines, dual helm stations, a sugar scoop transom, and a teak-laid cockpit for that premium finish. Her fin keel with bulb provides excellent stability, making her a joy to helm in all conditions.
Powered by a Volvo Penta D2-40F (installed 2019) with saildrive, she’s reliable and efficient under power. Onboard electrics include both 12v and 220v systems, supported by two 100Ah domestic batteries, a 75Ah engine battery, and a portable Honda 1000 generator—ideal for life afloat. The rig features a double spreader aluminium mast, original stainless-steel rigging, and a sail wardrobe including a fully battened mainsail, genoa, and staysail. Sail handling is effortless thanks to two electric 44ST primaries and two 30ST halyard winches.
Inside, this 2-cabin version sleeps four in comfort. The forward cabin has a generous double berth, while the aft cabin offers additional space for guests or family. The interior has been recently renovated and now features stylish blue Alcantara upholstery. The saloon includes U-shaped seating, a linear galley with a gas cooker, fridge, and stainless-steel sink—everything you need for extended cruising.
On deck, a folding teak cockpit table, sprayhood, and full Raymarine navigation suite enhance the sailing experience. She also comes with a tender, ensuring you’re ready for every stop along the way.

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.

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.
