Exterior

Douce France’s exterior spaces are designed for relaxed living at sea. Expansive deck areas provide multiple options for lounging, dining, and enjoying life under sail, while the aft deck offers a generous sunbathing area with uninterrupted views.

Forward trampolines invite guests to stretch out and feel the sea spray as the yacht glides along, creating a rare connection to the sailing experience. With her wide beam and stable platform, she delivers both comfort and a true sense of adventure on the water.

Interior

Inside, Douce France blends classic elegance with thoughtful functionality. Pale sycamore wood lines the guest accommodation, while mahogany and rosewood finishes add warmth throughout the shared spaces.

The curved deckhouse offers panoramic 360-degree views, flooding the interior with natural light, while the main salon provides comfortable lounge seating alongside a private office and library area. The result is an interior that feels refined yet welcoming, ideal for extended charters and time spent onboard.

Lifestyle

Designed for guests who enjoy both exploration and downtime, Douce France offers a versatile charter lifestyle. Her shallow draft allows access to anchorages beyond the reach of many large yachts, while her sailing performance delivers a quiet, immersive experience underway.

Days can be spent diving, fishing, enjoying water sports, or simply relaxing on deck as the scenery unfolds. With ample space, professional crew, and a proven pedigree of global cruising, Douce France is well suited to adventurous itineraries balanced with comfort and ease.
