Dufour 44
Dufour has revealed the very first images of the new Dufour 44, announced at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival Press Conference.
The new 44-foot yacht is extending the work carried by the Dufour teams, naval architect Umberto Felci and designer Luca Ardizio since the launch of the Dufour 41.
It will offer the Dufour range even more light, more space and, of course, more innovations.

Absolute 48 Coupé
Absolute Yachts’ new Coupé range is sporty, comfortable and highly versatile.
The series has been completely re-invented. The usual features that distinguish Absolute's models are enhanced by new ones: solar panels, large windows with panoramic openings, and a large, terraced cockpit with configurable décor for maximum versatility.
Absolute 48 Coupé offers bold style, exceptional utility and a strong commitment to sustainability. For example, her roof is equipped with solar panels, one of which is transparent to let in natural light but not heat. Solar panels offer a convenient, clean source of energy, reflecting Absolute Yachts' principles of minimising environmental impact.
In the saloon, large side windows envelop the entire deck and, together with the panoramic windscreen, offer uninterrupted visibility. The windows can be electrically opened.
The wide cockpit is cosy, with no visual barriers or fixed obstacles. The space can be configured to suit life on board, while the side gunwale opening offers a direct view of the sea and glazed rear balustrades provide uninterrupted views from the cockpit, saloon and helm station. Outdoor furniture is easily configured for maximum relaxation or optimal social interaction.
Owners and their guests can enjoy the cosy galley – perfect for lunch or an afternoon spent in good company – or escape from the hustle of everyday life in total autonomy and safety. Below decks, three comfortable high-ceilinged cabins offer unparalleled liveability for a yacht of this size.
Absolute 48 Coupé will premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, September 7-11, 2021.
