The Dufour 54 will make its UK debut at the inaugural Swanwick Yachting Showcase from 19 to 27 September 2026. At 16.84 metres, the model sits firmly inside Luxury Yacht Guide territory and arrives as the flagship of Dufour's current sailing range.
A 16.84-metre bluewater flagship
Dufour gives the 54 a 5.25-metre beam and 2.4-metre standard draft, with an 80hp standard engine and 110hp option. The builder positions the model for long-distance cruising, combining a balanced hull with owner-focused living spaces and a large aft platform.
Hybrid propulsion and solar options
The Dufour 54 can be specified with the builder's ODSea+ hybrid package and a rigid hardtop carrying up to 1,300W of solar panels. These systems are intended to extend onboard autonomy while reducing generator use and noise during longer periods away from shore power.
Flexible accommodation for different ownership plans
Multiple interior arrangements are available, including an owner's configuration centred on a forward master suite and alternatives with additional guest cabins. Dufour also offers several deck layouts, allowing buyers to bias the yacht toward cruising, extended living aboard or more performance-oriented use.
UK buyers get a direct comparison opportunity
At Swanwick the Dufour 54 will appear alongside the 37, 41 and 44, giving prospective owners the chance to compare four sizes within the same range. The appointment-led format is designed to provide more time onboard than a conventional high-traffic boat-show visit.
