Modernized to high standards, this 2006 Mochi Craft Mochi 51 Dolphin represents a significant evolution in the lobster boat segment. Measuring 15.85 meters in length with a 4.9-meter beam, this vessel offers a stable and classic aesthetic combined with a capable 26-knot cruising speed and a maximum speed of 35 knots. With its shallow draft of 1.2 meters and fiberglass construction, it is designed for versatile performance and ease of handling.
The vessel, currently located in Portugal, has undergone rigorous maintenance to ensure modern reliability. Key mechanical updates from 2021 include a full engine removal and comprehensive overhaul with new turbochargers, supplemented by the installation of a new Mase generator in 2024. The electronics suite was refreshed in 2021 with a 2kW sonar, and the entertainment systems were upgraded to high-quality JL and Denon components.
Interior and exterior comforts have been prioritized through extensive cosmetic work. The cabin layout includes 2 cabins and 2 baths, accommodating up to 12 people. Recent interior enhancements include the full replacement of upholstery and carpeting, as well as the transition to LED lighting throughout the vessel, including underwater lights. Exterior maintenance has been equally thorough, with the sides professionally repainted in 2022 and a new tender added in 2023.
This Mochi Craft Mochi 51 Dolphin is VAT paid, simplifying the acquisition process for prospective buyers. Given the scope of recent technical and aesthetic refits, the vessel stands out as a turn-key opportunity for those seeking a character-rich lobster-style yacht in excellent condition.
