Dufour 460 Grand Large (zeilboot) - verkoop

Summary2017 | DUFOUR 460 GRAND LARGE | FELCI DESIGN | PERFORMANCE CRUISER

PODERE SAPAIO is a 2017 Dufour 460 Grand Large offered for sale by her original family owner. From new she has formed part of the family’s professionally managed charter fleet in Tuscany, where regular servicing, preventative maintenance and continued investment have always been central to the ownership philosophy.

Designed by Felci Yacht Design, the Dufour 460 Grand Large combines rewarding sailing performance with the volume and comfort expected of a modern cruising yacht. Her generous cockpit, twin helm arrangement and well-proportioned four-cabin interior make her equally suited to family cruising, extended coastal passages or continued commercial operation.

Throughout her ownership the engine has been serviced annually and supported by invoices, while significant investment has included replacement sails, renewed running rigging, a new headsail furling system, replacement sprayhood and bimini canvas, saildrive maintenance and upgrades to a number of onboard systems.

The owner is now reducing his charter fleet following his father’s retirement, presenting an opportunity to acquire a yacht with single family ownership from new, a clearly documented history and evidence of consistent professional care.

BROKER'S COMMENTS

PODERE SAPAIO presents what many experienced buyers hope to find: single family ownership from new, a documented maintenance history and evidence of continued investment rather than deferred maintenance.

Her professional use should be considered alongside the structure in which she has been operated. Servicing, routine maintenance and equipment replacement have formed part of an organised programme throughout her life, with supporting invoices available for much of the work completed.

The Dufour 460 remains one of the most versatile yachts in her class. She offers the sailing performance associated with the Felci hull design while retaining the volume, comfort and practical deck layout required for extended cruising. Wide side decks, twin helm positions, a spacious cockpit and folding bathing platform make her manageable short-handed while still accommodating family and guests comfortably.

For a purchaser seeking a modern cruising yacht with a known history, comprehensive documentation and significant recent investment, PODERE SAPAIO merits serious consideration.
