Tujunga | 2008 Dufour 455 Grand Large
Tujunga is a well-maintained 2008 Dufour 455 Grand Large, recently returned from an unforgettable family cruising adventure through French Polynesia. Purchased in July 2025 following an initial inspection in April, she immediately stood out for her excellent condition, sensible upgrades and readiness for extended offshore sailing.
Designed by Olivier Racoupeau and built by Dufour Yachts, this proven cruising yacht delivers an ideal balance of performance, safety and onboard comfort. She features a spacious three-cabin layout with generous living areas, making her perfectly suited for family cruising or extended time aboard.
Significant recent upgrades include new standing rigging and a full suite of North sails installed in 2025, ensuring reliable and efficient sailing performance. Throughout their sabbatical year, her current owners cruised extensively across the Leeward Islands and Tuamotus, continually maintaining and improving the vessel to a high standard.
Well equipped for bluewater cruising, Tujunga includes modern Raymarine navigation electronics, solar power, watermaker and a comprehensive inventory that supports comfortable and self-sufficient passagemaking. She presents as a turnkey opportunity for buyers seeking a capable yacht ready to continue exploring.
Now offered for sale as the owners prepare to return to France in July 2026 for professional commitments, Tujunga has proven herself to be a dependable and enjoyable platform for adventure. She has been a much-loved home afloat and is ready to create lasting memories for her next custodians.
