Elegance from the heart of Italy meets practical seafaring intelligence in this Dufour 48 Catamaran. Born from the original 2018 Umberto Felci concept and further refined after acquisition by Italian builders JJL Catamarans, this design benefits from decades of naval-architect expertise combined with an improved manufacturing process and high-quality craftsmanship. The Felci signature—sleek lines, purposeful proportions and a yacht-like presence—remains central to the platform, delivering a catamaran that balances luxury aesthetics with performance-minded design.

The accommodation package is generous and versatile: five guest cabins plus dedicated skipper/crew cabins located in the forward bows. The guest layout comprises four queen ensuite cabins and one twin cabin served by a hall bath. In addition to five guest heads, the forward starboard crew space is provisioned and pre-plumbed for a sixth head, offering flexibility for owner-operators or charter use.

Interior volumes are bright and welcoming, with large panoramic windows that provide expansive daylight and near 360° visibility, enhancing situational awareness and the onboard experience. The salon integrates naturally with the helm and navigation station, enabling a seamless flow between living space and command area for comfortable short-handed or crewed passages.

Deck ergonomics are clearly thought through: direct access from the cockpit leads to foredeck lounging zones and net trampolines, creating multiple alfresco living and relaxation areas. The flybridge features an ample seating area and a substantial helm station with a raised helm position for excellent visibility and comfortable command ergonomics.

Overall, this Dufour 48 combines refined Italian styling, considered interior planning and practical deck ergonomics to offer a spacious, well-equipped platform ideal for extended cruising, liveaboard comfort or premium charter operations.
