Description
Now available through The Yacht Sales Co. Checkmate is a stunning example of the award-winning Dufour, combining cutting-edge design with exceptional craftsmanship. Launched in 2023 and located at Westhaven Marina, Auckland, Checkmate has had just one discerning New Zealand owner and has been meticulously maintained. Lightly sailed for local cruising and club racing, she presents in immaculate, near-new condition.
The Dufour 470 stands at the forefront of modern yacht design, embodying the French shipyard’s renowned craftsmanship, innovation, and meticulous attention to detail. With her signature hull lines, ergonomic deck layout, and twin helms, Checkmate delivers both exhilarating performance and effortless handling. Her wide beam and large fold-down swim platform add comfort and functionality, making her equally suited to coastal cruising or competitive sailing.
Below deck, Checkmate features an intelligently designed interior that maximises comfort and space. The layout includes a luxurious forward queen V-berth with a private ensuite and walk-in shower, complemented by two spacious queen cabins with shared head and shower—ideal for family cruising or entertaining guests.
Celebrated for their superior build quality, Dufour Yachts have crafted the 470 to offer a seamless blend of luxury, performance, and versatility. Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, Checkmate delivers on every front.
