In 1999, a family from São Paulo, in love with the sea, was looking for a catamaran that would meet their needs. He found a French builder - a nautical genius and an exceptional designer.
He accepted the challenge of developing a unique vessel, customized for the family.
Thus was born Dolphin Catamarans – a shipyard created by passion and competence. Since its creation in 1999, the goal of Dolphin Catamarans has been to offer the best and most complete product to the market.
At that time there were only well-finished boats, or performance boats. There was not a single boat that offered a good finish and good performance. Thus came the Dolphin 460 - an exquisitely finished boat, comfortable spaces, modern and elegant lines and a performance never seen before on cruise catamarans.
Dolphin Catamarans has been opening up its range of products and has started to serve, in addition to this initial market, a market of smaller boats, work boats, diving boats and charter boats. And that's how it has been for the last 21 years, building dreams, different models, different purposes, but with a single thought: quality and safety !!
The shipyard's best-known model is the Dolphin 460, present all over the world. You can easily find a Dolphin 460 in the USA, the Caribbean, Australia, Europe and of course Brazil !!
The Dolphin 460 became known worldwide as one of the best and most complete catamarans ever built and, unlike its biggest competitors that mostly serve charter companies, the Dolphin 460 is in a market apart, where the concern has always been a boat designed for long sailings and life on board.
Dolphin owns the technology to build vessels of various types, using materials as diverse as fiberglass, epoxy wood, Kevlar, carbon fiber and more.
The “expertise” of the Shipyard goes further. We also built carbon fiber masts............and to be more exact: we made 6 units of a 60ft sailing catamaran, 100% carbon fiber, including the mast !!!!! !!
Dolphin Catamarans is a 100% Brazilian company and behind this great success is a family from São Paulo and this French genius, eternally passionate about the sea, quality, design and safety !!!!
