The Dolphin 54 is a signature flybridge yacht model from the Italian shipyard Mochi Craft (part of the Ferretti Group). This model successfully brought the aesthetics and seaworthy attributes of the traditional New England “Lobster Boat” (or Down East cruiser) into the luxury performance segment. The Dolphin 54 is highly regarded for its timeless elegance, exceptionally low noise levels, and robust construction certified for rigorous ocean conditions.
The Dolphin 54 is a meter ( ) flybridge yacht built with a GRP planing hull. The design, by Victory Design, is characterized by a high, flared bow and supple, rounded lines, which are both aesthetically classic and hydrodynamically effective for handling choppy seas. Propulsion is delivered by twin MAN R6 diesels on a shaft drive. The interior is characterized by a warm, traditional aesthetic with extensive use of solid teak and elegant leather. The main deck maximizes space with the galley and lower helm forward, allowing the lower deck to be dedicated entirely to accommodation. A key functional feature is the folding transom, which creates a large swim platform and provides access to the integrated tender garage.
