Dufour 365 Grand Large Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Dufour 365 Grand Large means choosing among over 400 boats built between 2005 and 2012, all drawn from the shipyard’s Grand Large cruising line with lines by Umberto Felci. The used fleet splits between owner three-cabin layouts and the more common single-aft-cabin arrangement, and ex-charter examples are common — a fact worth weighing against the interior wear a charter history implies.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available. The one-cabin version carries a spacious aft berth at 1.95 metres long and 1.60 metres wide, while fitting two compartments aft shrinks the berth width to 1.40 metres. Forward, the berth is offset to starboard and only 1.35 metres wide regardless of aft plan. A longitudinal pantry on the port side is a constant across the interior, and the fixed 1.70 metre draught means no shallow-draught variant exists to screen for.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market these boats commonly carry a chartplotter, autopilot, bimini, spinnaker, teak decks, cockpit shower, heating, asymmetric spinnaker, life raft, AIS, solar, hot water, and radar, with ex-charter inventory often reflecting that fitting list. Less commonly seen owner additions include a swim platform, code zero, electric winches, dodger, and EPIRB. A 29 hp Volvo Penta is the standard auxiliary, and the deck and hull are glued and screwed with bulkheads laminated on — original construction rather than a refit cue.
What to Inspect
The documented factory limitation is that the ship could not be ordered with a rubbing strake, not even as extra equipment, so topside edge protection on any example is owner-added or absent. Hull and deck are manufactured using the injection and infusion method with iso-resins, and the joint is glued and screwed with laminated bulkheads; inspect that seam and the bulkhead bonds for movement. The CE design category A confirms offshore certification, but the missing rubbing strake remains the one named build omission to verify visually.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These yachts typically appear in the United Kingdom, France, Portugal, Greece, Australia, and Croatia. For a buyer, the short checklist is: confirm the aft layout (one-cabin berth 1.60 m wide versus two-cabin 1.40 m), check for added rubbing strake protection, verify the glued-and-screwed hull-to-deck seam and laminated bulkheads, and note the 1.35 m forward berth width as a couples’ constraint.
- Prefer the one-cabin aft layout for berth length
- Expect no factory rubbing strake; assess dock-edge condition
- Inspect hull-to-deck glue/screw joint and bulkhead lamination
- Forward berth 1.35 m wide — tight for two
