ACY Yachts Brings Dufour Sailboats to the West Coast

ACY Yachts has widened its wake on the West Coast, adding the full line of Dufour Sailboats to its growing portfolio. Through its subsidiary, ACY California, the company is now the exclusive West Coast representative for the French builder’s performance cruising monohulls, succeeding Denison Yachting in the role.

As part of the expansion, ACY California is taking over Denison Yachting’s Marina del Rey operation, including its slips, service facilities, and experienced sales staff. With its San Diego headquarters, a strategic new presence in Marina del Rey, and an established location in Kamuela, Hawaii, the dealership now offers extensive coverage for yacht buyers and owners from Southern California to the Hawaiian Islands.

“This is a natural fit for our growth strategy,” said Rick Day, President of ACY California. “By combining our expertise with the legacy of Dufour and the innovation of Fountaine Pajot, we’re delivering West Coast sailors an unparalleled range of premium yachts and services.”

Dufour’s European-crafted sailboats are known for their blend of comfort, performance, and contemporary styling. The addition complements ACY’s existing lineup of Fountaine Pajot’s bluewater cruising catamarans, creating a comprehensive sailing portfolio for clients.

In addition to sales and service, ACY California offers ownership programs through its sister company, Waypoints Yacht Charters. The Business Yacht Ownership® program provides yacht owners with professional management and the potential to offset expenses while enjoying private use of their vessel.

ACY Yachts and Waypoints Yacht Charters are part of the Fountaine Pajot Groupe, a French luxury yacht builder with a global presence.

Editors’ Take: It’s always good news when sailors get more choices closer to home, and Dufour’s mix of French flair and offshore capability fits the US West Coast region’s style. Pair that with a charter management option, and these boats could start showing up in marinas from Vancouver to Cabo before long.
