Dufour 310 Grand Large

Accommodations

The Dufour 310 Grand Large embodies the lifestyle that Dufour has infused into its projects over the last 50 years:  it is fast, well-balanced, comfortable and easy to steer, even for a single handed purpose.

The idea behind this project was to create a small boat with all the technology, iconic style and comfort of the bigger and luxurious Grand Large models. 

The result is a boat with great personality, characterised by excellent performance, maximum ease of handling, and the timeless elegance of Dufour Yachts. 

In just 9.35m length the 310 GL perfectly exhibits the latest Dufour design philosophy. Its streamlined, dynamic looks win you over at first glance, just like an authentic object of design and fashion.
