Dufour 405 Grand Large (2011 / splashed 2012) – “Knot Working” (Price: 85k USD)
Hello everyone,
I’m selling my beautiful Dufour 405 GL. This has been my home for the past 3.5 years, and a huge amount of time, effort, and money has gone into upgrading and maintaining her to a very high standard.
This is an honest sale of a very well-kept and continuously improved boat. She is fully set up as a turnkey liveaboard or cruising yacht — you can step onboard and start living or sailing immediately.
I am not in a rush to sell, as I currently live onboard full-time.
The only reason for the sale is due to work commitments. I no longer have the time to use the boat as intended and she is currently being used as a liveaboard in the marina rather than for sailing.

Summary:
This is a seriously well-prepared, upgraded, and maintained Dufour 405 GL, ideal for:
Liveaboard lifestyle Caribbean cruising Immediate sailing without refit
A huge amount has been invested into this boat — both financially and in terms of care. She is ready for her next owner to step onboard and go.
There are still a few small items that can be addressed over time, and I had planned to continue refining her this season. However, she is priced accordingly and represents excellent value for a boat that is fully operational and ready to sail away today.
