Like the season itself, Fall 2024 ushers in exciting changes for our company. We're thrilled to announce the arrival of a new range of monohulls in our Sunsail Caribbean fleet, made possible by our recent partnership with Dufour Yachts. Over the past three months, we've delivered 25 Dufour monohulls to our Sunsail bases in the Mediterranean. While those new owners are wrapping up their exhilarating sailing season, we're eagerly preparing to welcome a fresh group of owners to our sunny Caribbean bases.
This new partnership with Dufour Yachts represents more than just a change in shipyard. It's also a new philosophy, or rather a rediscovered philosophy. Just over a year ago, we started to think about what the future of sailing monohulls might look like. We've seen several innovations in the catamaran world over the last few years, but certain aspects (such as the handling of the tender and the outboard engine) have remained static for years in the monohull segment. We wanted the monohull of the future, and that's what we've found.
In collaboration with Dufour's technical department, we've made significant enhancements to the boats we've ordered, ensuring your Sunsail voyages are even more unforgettable. From onboard comfort and performance to maintenance and product lifecycle, we reviewed all the technical specifications to ensure that ‘our’ Dufour monohulls meet your requirements as an owner.
We have concentrated our efforts on the following models:
Each of these yachts has undergone exclusive 'Sunsail' enhancements. Some of these upgrades are easily noticeable, like the Yanmar engine (exclusive to Sunsail), while others are more discreet, such as the quality of our reinforced rigging. If you look closely, you'll see an extra step on the transom to make it easier to move around, and even an extra tap in the galley (our water purifier). You get the idea, your Sunsail boat is not like the others on the market. As usual, when it comes to equipment, we haven't hesitated to choose numerous options to improve comfort on board: solar panels, generator, air conditioning, and a watermaker are all part of our quality standard.
If this has piqued your interest, we invite you to explore our limited time offers. Enjoy guaranteed monthly income and up to 12 weeks of sailing each year on your Dufour, or an equivalent yacht at any of our 20+ worldwide bases. Contact a charter yacht ownership expert today to start your journey!
