S/V „SOMMER’s“ is not your typical Dufour 470.
Launched in 2022, SOMMER’s is a veteran Dufour dealer’s dream boat that was built, speced and customized to be a modern luxury family cruiser, turned into blue water pedigree that is ready for world navigation at the highest levels of comfort for prolonged periods as a proper „liveaboard“ vessel!
Close to 40 years of proffesional marine and sailing experience, more than 10 yachts owned throughout the years and hundreds of sold boats – all of this knowledge and know-how went into shaping this beautiful production boat into a sailor’s dream but not least – the sailor’s wife’s dream as well!
„SOMMER’s“ is heavily equipped with almost every possible option possible, but her true genius lies not just in her spec, but in the hours, days and weeks of labor that went into customizing her to break the production boat mold and become an uber comfortable, luxurious cruiser that has all the right things where god usually put them – in the details!

From a heavily modified electric plan with more batteries, a high output Victron Energy Quatro charger/inverter that works in tandem with the silent FP generator, to the custom arch with retractable davits, reinforced bow area for heavier chain or liveaboard amenities like a dishwasher and large washer/dryer or even just the high end audio setup usually only found in motorboats – this Dufour 470 is ready for the owner who is looking for a turn key yacht ready to cruise around the world at utmost comfort and style.
