Born from an intense collaboration between Italian architect Umberto FELCI and the DUFOUR DEVELOPMENT TEAM, the 460 GL is a yacht of excellence, that guarantees high level performances as well as absolute comfort, in harmony will the values of latest Dufours :
- Majestic aesthetic, with her new hull and deck design
- Ultimate comfort, with her interior layout inspired from the Dufour 500 and 560
- Optimal functionality, with her bowsprit and her fully equipped exterior galley
Ultimate outcome of the Grand Large range renewal, the Dufour 460 wins the challenge to seduce owners in search of a three or four cabins layout, and affirm herself as the new reference for 45 feet yachts.
