Dufour 445 Grand Large - Carpe Diem II

Price: AUD $325,000

Introducing Carpe Diem II, a 2012 Dufour 445 Grand Large, exclusively available for sale with YOTI in Manly, Queensland. Dufour is known for creating yachts that combine elegant design with high-quality craftsmanship, and Carpe Diem 2 offers a fantastic opportunity to own a well-maintained cruising yacht ready for your next adventure.

This three-cabin layout offers comfortable accommodations for family and guests. The owner's suite includes an ensuite with separate toilet and shower compartments, while the two double guest cabins provide ample space. An additional day head with a shower adds convenience for everyone onboard. Both toilets are electric flush.

The galley is thoughtfully designed with twin sinks, a large fridge (both top and front loading), a 3-burner gas stove with oven and grill, and a microwave. Crockery and cutlery are included. The saloon has a spacious seating area with a dining table and hull windows that provide beautiful views of the water. The table can also drop to create an additional double berth.

The nav station is equipped with a Raymarine multifunction chart plotter/radar, including charts for Australia and the South Pacific, as well as a proper chart table for paper charts. The interior is finished with Moabi timber, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the cabin.

The large cockpit offers plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining, featuring twin helms, a fold-down cockpit table, comfortable seating cushions, and a BBQ. The opening transom provides easy access to the marina and water, complemented by a hot/cold shower. A large bimini/spray dodger provides protection from the sun, spray, and rain, and solar panels are fitted to the bimini to help keep your systems powered.

With a full suite of Raymarine instruments, including a multi-function E125 chartplotter at the nav station and an E7 plotter, as well as wind, depth, and autopilot controls at the helm, Carpe Diem II is ready for comfortable navigation. Short-handed sailing is made easy with a 110% furling genoa, slab reefed main with a boom bag, and all controls led aft to the coach roof winches. The retractable bow thruster simplifies docking and marina manoeuvres.

Carpe Diem II presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a well presented and comfortable cruising yacht. Whether you're looking to explore coastal waters or simply enjoy time on the water with family and friends, this yacht is a great choice.
