The highly anticipated Dufour 39, the newest model from renowned French shipyard Dufour Yachts, will make her world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, marking the arrival of a new generation of performance cruising in an accessible sub-40-foot platform.
The Dufour 39 introduces a fresh chapter for the acclaimed French company, combining elegant design, intelligent onboard living and impressive sailing capability in a yacht designed for modern cruising lifestyles.
Blending performance, comfort and versatility, the Dufour 39 has been conceived to suit a broad range of owners — from weekend and coastal cruisers through to twilight and regatta sailors planning longer adventures. Expansive outdoor living spaces, a flexible cockpit configuration and thoughtfully configured interiors create a yacht equally suited to entertaining, relaxation and time at sea.
Designed as an adaptable platform, the Dufour 39 offers a choice of configurations to suit different sailing styles, from easy short-handed cruising through to a more performance-oriented setup. Flexible layout options and seamless movement throughout the yacht reflect the evolving needs of modern owners and cruising programs.
As the official dealer for Dufour Yachts across the Asia Pacific region, The Yacht Sales Co. invites clients to register their interest and stay informed on opportunities to view the new model leading up to and following her global debut.
Stephen Hobbs, General Manager - Dufour Yachts at The Yacht Sales Co., said the Dufour 39 represented an exciting evolution within the internationally respected Dufour range.
"The Dufour 39 strikes a compelling balance between performance, comfort and contemporary design, delivering the features and onboard experience today's owners are seeking in a highly versatile cruising yacht," said Hobbs.
"We are particularly excited by the introduction of the Performance version, which expands the Dufour 39's appeal for sailors seeking a more performance-oriented setup without compromising comfort or liveability."
"Dufour has an incredibly strong reputation for combining sailing capability with onboard comfort, and the new Dufour 39 builds confidently on that legacy."
Hobbs said the model's upcoming debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival would mark a significant milestone for the latest addition to the Dufour range.
