Sailing Yacht Charter La Rochelle – Dufour 37 – Cat & Go La Rochelle

Sailing Yacht Charter La Rochelle: the Dufour 37, agility and elegance under sail

Chartering a Dufour 37 in La Rochelle is the perfect opportunity to experience a recent, responsive and comfortable sailing yacht. Built in 2024 by Dufour Yachts, this 10.77 m model captures the very essence of the renowned La Rochelle shipyard: performance, enjoyment and conviviality. Designed for coastal cruising or week-long getaways, she welcomes up to 6 guests on board, offering modern comfort and a bright, refined atmosphere.

Powered by a 30 hp Volvo engine, the Dufour 37 ensures smooth and precise manoeuvring, both under sail and under power. Her modern hull design and twin helm stations deliver excellent stability and an outstanding sense of control. Ideal for day trips to Île de Ré, a stopover on Île d’Aix, or a cruise towards Oléron.

Comfort and Space on Board

The Dufour 37 stands out with her smart interior layout and premium finishes. She features two double cabins and a convertible saloon, comfortably accommodating 4 to 6 guests. Spacious and functional, perfectly suited to daily life during a cruise.

The L-shaped galley is fully equipped with an oven, refrigerator, electric kettle, and gas hob, making it easy to prepare meals on board. A bright, open-plan saloon, combined with Dufour’s signature light wood cabinetry, creates a warm, elegant ambience true to the shipyard’s style.

On deck, everything has been designed for relaxation and socialising: a cockpit table, deck shower, electric windlass, sprayhood, and swim ladder. The well-proportioned cockpit volumes provide excellent comfort and security for all passengers.

Smooth Sailing and Safety at Sea

When it comes to sailing, the Dufour 37 combines agility with ease of handling. Her fully-battened mainsail and self-tacking jib make manoeuvres effortless—even with a reduced crew. On board, Garmin autopilot, GPS chartplotter, log/speed/depth instruments, wind instrument, and VHF radio ensure safe, accurate and stress-free navigation.

The yacht is certified for coastal navigation for up to 8 people, and semi-offshore cruising for up to 6, offering an excellent balance between safety and freedom on board. A bow thruster is not required on this model: her well-balanced hull and twin helms provide excellent manoeuvrability in port.

A professional skipper can also be arranged on request through Cat & Go, allowing you to enjoy your cruise with complete peace of mind. Please note: this yacht is not available for racing.
