DUFOUR GRAND LARGE 385: 2004

Ready to live your ultimate liveaboard dream? Meet Blue Spirit, a 2004 Dufour 385 Grand Large currently waiting for you at the resort marina, REBAK MARINA LANGKAWI in Malaysia.

​

This 38 ft yacht is the perfect step aboard lifestyle boat, easy to handle, with room enough for two, and even a small family. Definitely enough room for guests - she is a proven, single-owner world traveler. After 5 years of easy cruising in the Netherlands, her owner set sail in 2010 to see the world. Blue Spirit has confidently crossed oceans and dropped anchor in France, Spain, Morocco, the Caribbean, the Panama Canal, French Polynesia, Tonga, Fiji, Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia.

​

She is fully equipped for serious blue-water cruising and has had constant upkeep, making her turn-key ready for her next owner. She has a lot of extra comfort, like Nespresso machine, Fusion stereo, dimmable lights in salon, Schenker Watermaker, updated Raymarine navigation system, smart Victron solar charger and all kinds of sun and shade covers which makes life on board easy and enjoyable.

​

Why Buy a Boat in Langkawi?

Buying a boat in Langkawi offers huge advantages for international sailors:

• Safe Harbor: Rebak Marina is tucked inside a perfectly sheltered, non-commercialized basin with zero surge, zero wake, and absolute storm protection.

• Resort Living: The marina is part of a resort. While working on your boat, you get full access to a private beach, a luxury swimming pool, a gym, and resort restaurant discounts.

• Top-Tier Infrastructure: Rebak features an excellent boatyard with a 65-ton marine travel lift, an on-site chandlery, and a local trade community for affordable maintenance.

• Gateway to Paradise: You are just a few hours sail from clearing into Thailand, with easy coastal hopping down toward Singapore or out into the Indian Ocean.

 

A Note from the Current Owners

"Blue Spirit has been a fabulous boat for me - redesigned for easy ocean single handed sailing but at the same time big enough when my family joined me for holidays. I have looked after her well as she has looked after me across the oceans. A lot of spare parts and safety equipment is on board. Sure you will also have amazing adventures on her - whether that be in South East Asia or continuing her circumnavigation! If it wasn't for getting a catamaran with my partner I would not be selling her!"

​

Blue Spirit has looked after her sole owner for over two decades across the globe, and she is ready to do it all over again with you. Please contact us today at Seaspray Yacht Sales for more information, or for a viewing appointment.
