Dufour 382 Grand Large Buyer's Guide
The Dufour 382 Grand Large has become a familiar name on the used market since its 2014 introduction, with ex-charter examples common and owner three-cabin layouts more prevalent than two-cabin versions. Shoppers will find a 38-foot Felci-designed cruiser whose configurable interior and modern deck structure reward a careful look at both layout and condition.
Layouts on the Used Market
The 382 was offered with six interior layouts, a rarity in this size band, and on the used market you'll most often see owner three-cabin versions alongside ex-charter boats. Buyers could select between two and three cabins, one or two heads, a chart table available in a smaller or larger form, and either an L-shaped or in-line galley. In the two-cabin arrangement, quarters for guests lie aft to starboard while a substantial lazarette is found to port behind the shower. The three-cabin layout trades that space for additional sleeping capacity. A lighter oak finish was available beside the real Maobi wood seen on the test boat, so interior tone alone won't tell you the vessel's history.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most boats on the market carry the commonly fitted items that define modern cruising comfort: a bimini, chartplotter, cockpit shower, swim platform, autopilot, and self-tacking jib. Often-seen additions include heating, solar, and a furling main. Beyond those, a bow thruster, teak decks, lithium batteries, AIS, life raft, asymmetric spinnaker, hot water, and dodger appear as less common owner upgrades. For a buyer, the meaningful clusters are power and energy — solar and lithium banks reduce generator dependence — and sail handling, where a furling main and self-tacking jib simplify short-handed sailing; a bow thruster eases tight marina exits but signals heavier use patterns worth checking.
What to Inspect
The deck is resin-injected with a smooth lower surface that removes the need for liners liner-free construction, so inspect the hull-to-deck joint and the integral grid for any stress signs rather than assuming hidden liner rot. The keel carries hefty stainless backing plates at the L-shaped bulb — confirm those bolts and plates for corrosion. Testers flagged the double lifelines as lower than ideal lifeline height, so examine their terminals and tension, and consider whether added gates or netting suit your plans. The 30hp Volvo Penta is standard, with some boats carrying the optional 40hp; fuel and water tanks sit in the aft cabin or below the bunks, a location worth checking for any leakage into living spaces.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These yachts typically appear in Croatia, France, Spain, the United States, the British Virgin Islands, and Türkiye. When viewing a 382 Grand Large, confirm the layout matches your plans, verify the lifeline condition and keel plate corrosion, check tank locations for stains, and review whether the equipment tier reflects owner care or charter wear.
- Match layout to use: three-cabin owner vs. two-cabin with lazarette
- Inspect lifelines and keel backing plates closely
- Confirm tank condition in aft cabins or below bunks
- Note equipment tier against typical owner-upgrade patterns
