Sail away with the 51' Dolphin

The timeless elegance of the original New England lobster boat.

The first lobster boat produced by Mochi Craft, the 51' Dolphin reinterprets the timeless elegance of the original New England boat.

With a style that will never date, the 51' Dolphin recalls the retro charm of the 1950’s : a hull with natural curves and harmonous design, clearly evoking the mammal after which it is named ! It owes its unmistakable personality partly to the shape of the hull, the special way in which the stern slowly descends to the surface of the water, but also to the extensive use of wood, a tribute to tradition. The softness of the shape contrasts sharply with the boat’s powerful character. One immediately feels that the Dolphin 51’ stands out from all the other models of its generation. Intelligent and modular, the overall layout gives the impression that the space available is bigger than it really is. Inside, everything contributes to the boat’s refinement : the warmth of wood and the light-coloured tones of the fabrics. The galley is partially hidden from the saloon by a step, while below deck, there are two cabins with bathrooms and another for a crew member. A wide range of amenities make cruising a real pleasure. The boat can reach a cruising speed of 29 knots with a maximum speed of 33.5. It’s up to you to choose between two Man 800 or Man 900 engines.

Largely inspired by the shape of old lobster boats, the Dolphin 51’ comes in a choice of four colours.
