This Dolphin 430, owned until 2021 by a retired international commercial airline pilot, is in amazing condition for a yacht of her vintage. She has been used for her entire life for sailing to the Bahamas.

Always maintained to top standards. She is the same hull and tooling as the popular Dolphin 460, the famous Brazilian built catamaran that has many circumnavigations in the design's history.

Big daggerboards, carbon mast, all foam core hulls, vinylester resin, she is a top flight build crafted by legendary boat builder Philippe Pouvreau, a third generation French builder who set up his factory in Brazil. Philippe continues to build custom cats in Brazil.

The Dolphin production ceased in 2009 due to the global financial crisis, but the 24 that were built are sailing all over the world and they are cherished by their owners for their optimum performance, great craftsmanship, and robust construction.
