The Dufour 48 Catamaran represents a significant strategic pivot for the historic French shipyard, marking its official re-entry into the multihull market in 2018. Designed by Umberto Felci, Dufour’s long-standing design partner for its monohull fleet, the 48 was conceived to translate the brand’s "performance cruiser" DNA into a platform traditionally dominated by volume-centric competitors. While the project began under Dufour’s umbrella, the manufacturing rights were eventually transitioned to JJL Catamarans in Italy, though the vessel remains a centerpiece of the Dufour Yachts catalog.
