The Dufour 430GL includes many new styling and design enhancements, creating a yacht that offers a real balance between sailing performance and comfortable living space.
The 3.0 generation hull design has a softened and raised bilge strake and more pronounced chines for additional sailing performance and stability.

– customary wide Dufour side decks

The 430 offers two interior layouts. The three cabin layout has an open forward galley, as featured in the larger prestige Dufours, plus two showers/heads. Alternatively, you can opt for four proper sized cabins with two showers/heads, which is exceptional for a 43’ yacht.
