Bay du Vin is a classic Dufour Apogée 35 that offers the charm of a well-built French cruising yacht combined with thoughtful upgrades for comfortable Caribbean living. She has been a dependable home and cruising sailboat for her current owners over the past three years, proving herself to be a steady, capable sailor with a solid, reassuring feel at sea.
Her traditional mahogany interior is warm and inviting, with a deceptively spacious and well-designed layout that makes excellent use of her 35 feet. The accommodations are comfortable for full-time liveaboard life, with all interior upholstery in beautiful condition. The cockpit is equally well set up for both sailing and lounging, enhanced by full cushions, a bimini with sun shades, and folding cockpit seats—perfect for relaxed island living.
Bay du Vin has benefited from continuous care and upgrades. Since 2023, approximately $10,000 in new equipment and improvements have been added, improving her systems and making her turnkey and ready for extended cruising or liveaboard use in the islands.
Formerly named Bambouché, this vessel was owned and sailed by the same previous owners for over 30 years. Records and personal correspondence found onboard indicate she was originally purchased in England and professionally refit for a transatlantic passage to the Caribbean. Her prior owners worked in the crew and maintenance of large charter yachts and cruised her extensively throughout the Caribbean, including at least one passage to Florida. Their professional level of care was evident throughout the boat when the current owners took possession in December 2022.
Renamed Bay du Vin, she is Canadian-registered and continues to reflect the attentive maintenance and pride of ownership she has enjoyed throughout her life.
This is a nice, comfy little boat with character, history, and real cruising pedigree—ideal for someone looking to step into island life or continue exploring the Caribbean aboard a well-sorted classic without breaking the bank.
Bay du Vin is already located in some of the best cruising grounds on the planet, 100% turn-key and ready for adventure. Contact us today with any questions or to schedule a showing. I doubt this one will last long on the market.
