The professional's opinion

This Dufour 460 Grand Large is especially distinguished by the consistency and the level of its equipment. The forward and aft Jet Thruster propulsion units, the 300 W solar panels, the Mastervolt system, the AIS, and the very complete sail plan represent real advantages for an owner who wants to sail regularly.

With only 622 hours (increasing) on its Volvo Penta 55 hp engine, a 3-cabin / 2-heads layout, and many onboard features designed for long-range autonomy, this is a particularly interesting vessel for a comfortable and extended cruising program.
The listing

Description

This 2016 DUFOUR 460 GRAND LARGE for sale is a cruising sailboat of 13.50 meters, offered in a particularly complete configuration with 3 cabins, 2 bathrooms, Volvo Penta 55 hp, bow and stern thrusters, solar panels and very complete navigation equipment.

With its 4.60 meters beam, the Dufour 460 Grand Large provides particularly generous volumes. The interior is bright, modern and designed for extended stays, with 3 cabins, 6 berths and 2 bathrooms with shower. The 430-liter fresh water tank also provides great cruising autonomy.

Power is provided by a 55 hp Volvo Penta diesel, currently showing 622 hours (progressive), associated with a 250-liter fuel tank.

Port maneuvers are greatly facilitated thanks to the presence of a Jet Thruster bow thruster and a Jet Thruster stern thruster, an equipment particularly appreciated on a boat of this size.

Electronics are very comprehensive with GPS Raymarine HybridTouch, Raymarine autopilot, AIS transmitter-receiver, Airmar depth sounder, NKE Ultrasonic log-speedometer, Raymarine wind speed-wind vane, VHF Lowrance Link 8 and Furuno DRS4D-NXT 24" radar on a gimbal.

The sail plan is particularly interesting for cruising with full batten mainsail on carriages, roller furling genoa, roller furling staysail, asymmetric spinnaker, storm jib and Storm Bag. A bowsprit, a boom brake, a rigid outhaul and a lazy bag from 2024 complete the set.

Electrical autonomy is also well thought out with 3 x 2024 Gel service batteries of 200 Ah, 4 batteries dedicated to the thrusters of 2025, Mastervolt alternator with separate regulator, MasCombi Ultra charger and 3 solar panels of 100 W.

Outside, the boat in particular features a teak cockpit, a davit with telescopic hoists, an aft sunbathing area, a manual aft platform, a bimini, a sun awning and a gas plancha with sink.

A Zodiac Cadet 260 Aero dinghy and its HB engine complete the equipment.

This used Dufour 460 Grand Large is clearly aimed at a buyer looking for a comfortable, well-equipped sailboat that is already prepared to consider extended cruises with real autonomy on board.
