Dufour Yachts 412 (2016) For sale

This 2016 Dufour 412 benefits from impeccable maintenance and an exceptional technical follow-up. Between 2023 and 2025 she underwent a very substantial preventive maintenance programme, including a complete engine refit, full replacement of the standing rigging, modernisation of the electronics and numerous structural renovations. She is today an extremely sound, reliable yacht, ready to sail immediately with no work to plan — ideal for a long-distance cruising project or an Atlantic crossing.
The layout offers 3 double cabins with a convertible saloon, a spacious and functional shower room, and the warm interior typical of Dufour. All interior cushions are new and kept under covers. Ventilation and light are provided by numerous hatches, including the forward-cabin hatch recently replaced. The forward cabin has been modified with new bedding, and a new TV is fitted.
For sailing, she carries a complete and recent sail wardrobe: full-batten mainsail (2022) with 3 reefs and new lazybag, furling genoa, staysail and 2022 asymmetric spinnaker, on 2023 rigging with a replaced boom. The new sprayhood and original bimini protect the cockpit, and the stainless arch integrates davits and the solar-panel supports.
Power comes from a Volvo Penta D2-55 (no turbo) with approx. 5,000 hours, very well maintained with extensive invoices — she starts instantly. The saildrive seal was replaced in 2024 and the JP PROP folding 3-blade propeller dates from 2023. Energy autonomy is remarkable: two new 320 W solar panels, new Victron 1200 W inverter and Victron MPPT controller, with a switch to swap the 220 V network between shore power and the inverter.
Navigation is handled by a very recent, latest-generation Raymarine package: i70 displays, chartplotter/GPS, VHF, AIS700 and autopilot, with replaced mast sensors (wind vane, anemometer, antenna). Ground tackle is new too: windlass replaced in 2025, 50 m of 10 mm chain and a new 20 kg Delta anchor. Safety includes a new 6-person liferaft in container, and a new 3D Tender dinghy with a new Mercury 3.5 hp outboard completes the package.
On the structural side, major work has been carried out: complete hull sanding and hard-matrix treatment in 2024, rudder bearings replaced, through-hulls and valves changed (galley, shower room, black-water tank) between 2024 and 2025, replacement of the water heater and fridge compressor. The underwater sections are in perfect condition and the last haul-out dates from June 2026, with the last full service in November 2025.
With her 11.98 m hull length (builder's specification, staying under the 12 m regulatory threshold), 200 L of fuel, 400 L of water, recent sails, new rigging, modern electronics and fully refreshed mechanics, this Dufour 412 stands out for a transparent and complete maintenance history, rare on the market — ready for an Atlantic crossing or extended cruising in complete peace of mind. No berth included, but year-round haul-out storage is possible at Port Navy Service. Lying Le Lavandou, France — EUR 139,000. Contact CAP MED Boat & Yacht Consulting.
