The Dolphin 65, a quintessential example of the "performance cruiser" ethos, represents a highwater mark for the Italian shipyard Maxi Dolphin. Designed by the renowned naval architect Philippe Briand, this vessel was conceived to bridge the gap between a purebred racing machine and a luxurious bluewater cruiser. Built using advanced composite materials, specifically a Carbon/Epoxy/Sprint system cured in an oven, the Dolphin 65 is defined by its remarkable stiffnesstoweight ratio. Unlike the heavydisplacement cruising yachts of its era, the Dolphin 65 utilizes a sleek, lowprofile coachroof and a completely flush deck that emphasizes its racing pedigree while providing a clean, minimalist aesthetic. It is a vessel designed for the owneroperator who demands the speed of a maxiracer without sacrificing the amenities required for Mediterraneanstyle entertaining.
