WALK’N ON SUNSHINE Yacht Description
Step aboard the 2023 48-foot Dufour Catamaran, thoughtfully designed to host up to eight guests in four queen cabins. Its perfectly balanced layout—dividing the deck plan, cockpit, flybridge, and foredeck into equal thirds—creates a harmonious flow between indoor and outdoor living in every season. At the bow, two expansive sunbathing areas offer prime spots for soaking up warm rays and gentle sea breezes.
Ascend twin stairways to the generous flybridge, where a low central table is surrounded by plush seating and broad sunpads beneath a protective bimini—an idyllic perch for panoramic views or relaxed afternoons at sea.
Aft, the cockpit unfolds like an open-air living room, featuring a teak dining table for eight, multiple seating and relaxation zones, and a built-in gas plancha for effortless alfresco dining. Large portholes flood the lower salon with natural light, and a sliding window door opens fully to merge cockpit and indoor lounge into one seamless entertainment space.
Inside, the open-plan salon invites convivial gatherings beneath a 360° sea-facing panorama, while the fully equipped, ergonomic galley flows naturally towards the cockpit. A versatile sofa-dining unit adapts from cozy lounge to elegant table or even an extra double berth, and wide wraparound windows bathe the interior in warm daylight.
Below decks, four queen cabins each enjoy private dual-entry access from port and starboard, ensuring maximum guest privacy. Every stateroom boasts its own ensuite with separate shower, generous storage, and thoughtfully placed portlights for excellent ventilation and brightness—creating serene retreats for restorative nights at sea.
