The French builder dials in the sweet spot with their new, three-cabin ultra-modern family cruiser, complete with built-in grill  

 

Good ideas are catching. Once you’ve had one, it’s only natural to want to leverage it. That’s why French builder, Dufour, picked the most popular features from their recently-launched larger designs and included them in a 46-foot model that settles nicely into the sweet spot for a versatile family cruiser.

What made this possible was dialing in suggestions from market feedback about what makes a boat fit today’s lifestyles at anchor as well as under way.
