In 1957, engineer Michel Dufour discovered the new material, polyester. His desire to build a yacht out of polyester inspired the creation of “Sylphe.” He put up much money to make the vessel, rented a hangar, and launched his newly formed company, Le Stratifié Industriel.

In 1965, this dynamic engineer filled his order book with 20 units. By 1970, the number of orders had grown to 60. The company was working out of a modern 15,000 m² factory in Périgny, near La Rochelle. His business rocketed with the launch of the new “Arpège” model, which revolutionized the liveaboard yacht and led to several new creations. In 1970, he set up a design office to develop the “Safari.”

In 1971, Michel Dufour launched his “sortilège” model, and the brand reached new heights. He expanded his sales network to include Europe and established subsidiaries in Italy and the United States. The Dufour 35, 27, 33, 34, 1300, 29, 31, 2800, and 1800 models were born during this prosperous period.

The partnership with renowned naval architect, Umberto Felci, began in the 2000s. This collaboration resulted in the 2002 launch of the Dufour Performance collection and the 2003 launch of the Dufour Grand Large collection.

In the 2020s, the Fountaine Pajot’s arrival ushers in a new era. New goals in quality and design while retaining the Chantier Dufour DNA.
