A new 2026 Dufour 44 offshore cruiser, ready now on the water in Newport, RI. Felci-designed hull, self-tacking jib, and a 3-cabin, 2-head layout built for real passages. Duty, tariff, and customs clearance are included in the price.
The Dufour 44 is a fast offshore cruiser built on a Felci-designed hull, with high freeboard and a deep, secure cockpit for long passages. A self-tacking jib makes her easy to short-hand, while the 3-cabin, 2-head layout and long galley give a crew of six real room to live aboard. Below, the owner's cabin sits forward as a private en-suite, with two more cabins aft for guests or crew. This hull carries the standard 45 HP sail drive and a deep keel for performance under sail. The price includes duty, tariff, and customs clearance — no surprises at delivery.
This hull is ready now, on the water in Newport, RI. She is available for outright retail sale, or for placement into our boutique boat management program, where she can continue earning her keep on the water under a managed roster of members.
