New Model: Mochi 64 Dolphin Cruiser

A new and much awaited launch for Mochi Craft, who just put in the water the latest of the planing line, the 64 Dolphin Cruiser. In the last days of July, the technical launching operations for this new Mochi have been carried out at the dock of Cesenatico Italy. This new model is the tryed and tested result and collaboration between the famous architect Brunello Acampora from Studio Victory Design one of today's best hull designers, and Norberto Ferretti Advanced Yacht Technology and the Centro Stile Ferrettigroup, and is a further development of the 64 Dolphin. This team has designed all the Mochi Dolphin down East lobster inspired cruisers and yachts. After all technical operations are completed, the second Dolphin Cruiser will move to France, where it will be presented as a world premiere at the 35th edition of the Cannes show, from 11th to 16th September, and after this going to one of the largest boat shows in Genoa Italy at the start of October. As expected with a hull having the signature of Victory design sailing excellence is a big part of this new model, mixed up with comfort and a further touch of Italian innovation are key-words of this new 64 Dolphin Cruiser. A painstaking care for on board finishing is the characteristic of the brand: from deck gunwales to lifelines in solid teak with a natural finishing, to the master craftsmanship featured in the cleats obtained from one single block of steel, bearing the engraving of the dolphin. Wide glazing of the 64 Dolphin Cruiser offers extended views of the sea, and the external light enhances the volumes on board. Light is the protagonist underdeck as well, thanks to the typical glazing on the hull. The distinguishing feature of the external layout is the wide flybridge, extending towards the stern, covering the cockpit which is a major difference in this new Cruiser series as shown in the previously launched 74. Inside the 64 Dolphin Cruiser presents three double cabins, with a full beam owners room to midships. Another nice very Italian yacht feature of the 64 Dolphin Cruiser is the seperate galley to starboard on the main deck, with an eight persons dining table opposite to port side. Power is from twin MAN 1100 or 1224hp engines which give max speeds up to 31 knots with the large choice.

Project: Mochi 64 Dolphin Cruiser

Mochi tweaks its third largest model with the presentation of the 64 Dolphin Cruiser project.  This model as all the traditional looking down East lobster Dolphin range from Mochi is a design of Brunello Acampora, from Victory Studios in Naples, Italy, collaborating with Ferretti Advanced Yacht Technologies department.  The new Cruiser of the 64 Dolphin is easily recognizable thanks to its larger more Mediterranean super structure which also features an extended flybridge which covers all of the aft deck.  But while at it the Mochi and Ferretti design teams have also rethought some selected areas from the interior.  The owners room located to midships has been revisited, and the main deck now also features a separate galley, a rethought helm station, and a PC desk area.  Furnishing have also been revisited now having lighter colored solid woods being used. Power is from standard MAN 1100 or optional 1224hp engines.

New Model: Mochi 74 Dolphin Cruiser


Mochi Craft presents the launching of the new 74 Dolphin Cruiser, replacement of the 2004 presented 74 Dolphin of which it is based on. This latest Mochi is also the new flagship of the Dolphin line and second in size to the 23M Long Range of the Adriatic sea builder part of the Ferretti Group family since 2001. Designed as all the range by one of the most renowned design studios in Europe that of Brunello Acampora Victory Studio, the 74 Dolphin Cruiser builds on the old flagship by adding a more Italian Mediterranean extended flybridge, a larger superstructure, and more space below. This last emphasized with the four double cabins all with a personal head, and bigger crew quarters aft having two cabins and three berths. Traditional looking is key for the Mochi Dolphin range although the super structure does deliver modern themes on top of the classic hull, here in blue color for hull number one. Having a Vee shaped hull with variable geometry and spray rails, which give an average of nineteen degrees dead rise the 74 Dolphin Cruiser powered by twin MAN 1550hp engines reaches top speeds of 31 knots.

Project: Mochi 74 Dolpin Cruiser

As in music, design follows a similar pattern of cross over evolution, and here Italian builder Mochi present the project for a new 74 Dolphin Cruiser, based on traditional down east lobster yacht looks, but featuring also aspects of modern form and functions. Yes cross over styles have always been part of the Dolphins from Mochi, designed by Studio Victory Brunello Acampora. But it's fair to say with this new 74 Cruiser, modernity does takes a new challenge. First of all we are seeing larger top sides much more to the standard version of the 74, and the same flybridge is now extended and actually covers over eighty per cent of the aft cockpit deck. Other more motor yacht features is the deck split in two areas with lounging upon entering the interior, dining to fore, and a very Italian med solution of a separate galley. The 74 Dolphin Cruiser will also feature a bigger lower deck with four double cabins all with personal heads, and a bigger crew quarters for a max of three berths. The standard 74 Dolphin had a fourth single berth cabin and smaller crew quarters. Power for the 74 Dolphin Cruiser which will also be the new Mochi flagship of the planning fleet, will be from twin MAN 1550hp with estimated top speeds of 31 knots.

New Model: Mochi 23 Long Range

Mochi 23 Long Range was without a doubt the highest star of the 48th Genoa Boat Show, expected much since last year announcement that Ferretti Group was producing a hybrid yacht. The new flagship of the Mochi range, three decks plus flybridge explorer yacht had to be thanks to a host of two important firsts: the Zero Emissions Mode called ZEM Hybrid Propulsion and the Fer.Wey. Ferretti Wave Efficient Yacht Hull. Another important note for us yacht passionate was in seeing World famous Ferretti Group and designer Zuccon, both renowned mostly for thirty knots performing yachts, challenge the explorer yacht market with a green concept, but also an innovative hull with a top speed of sixteen knots, cruise at thirteen and range of 1500 nautical miles at nine knots. The result shows the 23 Long Range already in the future, to what regards Eco friendliness, being the first to obtain RINA Green Star Clean Energy and Clean Propulsion certification, and also efficient hull dynamics thanks to the Fer.Way hull, which improves the trans planning speeds of 12 knots plus, where displacement and planning shapes start behaving in an abnormal way. Standard interior arrangement of the 75 foot, 23 Long range is a three cabins and double crew berth aft layout. Alternatively an optional four cabin version with fourth bunk cabin is available, plus also the option of an extra captains cabin up top on the third deck, next to the wheel house. Praise has to be given for Ferretti Group, Zuccon International Project and the Mochi brand, who with the 23 Long Range have opened new horizon in yachting technology and design, inventing an Eco friendly motor yacht and reinventing the concept of displacement and semi displacement hull types.

The new Mochi 54 Dolphin Flybridge created by Ferretti's, AYT Advanced Yacht Technology, and the Victory Design Studio, led by Brunello Acampora replicates the successful choice made by the shipyard through the Dolphin 64 Flybridge. This new 54 Flybridge version, adds the place up top versus the Sun Top to enjoy sun and sea to the full, offering the extra deck for helming and socializing. The flybridge is accessed from the cockpit by the wood and steel stairs behind the wet bar unit. It features a sky lounge sunpad with room for two people to stretch out and offers a retractable Bimini to create shady areas for maximum on board comfort. The command position, especially for those who prefer to take the helm up top in the open air, fits in perfectly with the atmosphere of the flybridge. The instrument console opens electronically, and there’s also comfy seating for 2. This is flanked by a C-shaped divan seating up to 5. Inside the new Flybridge version replicates the Sun Top one, with three cabins for a total of 7 berths and a full equipped crew cabin located mid ship. The same thing can be said with the performance and navigational comfort, with Mochi offering the usually stable ride with reliable performance and the option of the ARG stabilizers so as to minimize the rolling at anchor and at slow speeds.

Project: Mochi 23 Long Range

Ferretti Group with it's Mochi Craft brand challenges the nautical world with this new project, the 23 Long Range zero emission hybrid propulsion explorer yacht, and the new FER.WAY hull, an innovative special hull designed by the Ferretti Engineering department for maximum efficiency at the range of 10 to 15 knots. The 23 Long Range is a revolutionary three deck motor yacht and with it Mochi Craft rewrites the history of the international nautical sector. Driven by the passion of Norberto Ferretti and made possible by the years of research carried out by Ferretti’s AYT Advanced Yacht Technology division, led by Andrea Frabetti, in collaboration with the Studio Zuccon International Project the new 75 feet Long Range embodies an unprecedented distillation of innovation and technology. Conceived for lovers of long-distance cruising and extended voyages, the Long Range 23 is the first craft to obtain the RINA “Green Star Clean Energy and Clean Propulsion” certification, the most rigorous certification standard that can be applied to a pleasure craft. After creating the Italian Lobster Boat Style with the Dolphin line launched in 2003, Mochi Craft now enters the Explorer Yacht market with two new solutions that open up new horizons in the international nautical panorama. First is the revolutionary Zero Emission Mode hybrid propulsion system. The new hybrid propulsion system allows the craft to be managed in 5 different ways, easily controlled through a touch-screen display ranging from the traditional diesel function to the zero emissions mode, using different combinations of diesel engine, electric engine, inverter, batteries and generator. The 23 Long Range features the most cutting edge technology now on the market, offering owners the opportunity to select the propulsion mode that best reflects the needs of the moment – sailing in unpolluted areas with total respect for the environment, lying at mooring with zero emissions while accessing all the boat’s electrical facilities or entering and leaving port in absolute silence while creating no smoky exhaust emissions. The other noveltly is the new FER.WEY (Ferretti Wave Efficient Yacht) trans-planing hull ensuring high hydrodynamic efficiency than other planing or displacement hulls, thanks to the innovative design of the depth surface, permitting the boat to avoid adopting the usual stern-down attitude when speed is increased. The new FER.WEY hull also reduces the typical roll experienced by displacement hulls and improves static stability by up to 50%. Its special design, with longitudinal tunnels protecting the props and a horizontal base on the bow bulb, allows the boat to rest on sandy bottoms and stay moored in locations subject to tides. The two technologies the hybrid propulsion system and trans-planing hull, combine and reinforce each other in a craft that offers a revolutionary design concept and solutions. The 23 Long Range is designed for spending long periods at sea in maximum comfort and total safety, backed by exceptional environmental awareness, the perfect mix of avant garde technology and Made in Italy design. The external lines are a synthesis of the Nordic work boat tradition and refined Made in Italy taste that Mochi Craft has skilfully expressed since 2003. In the interiors, the choice of prized materials, warm woods like teak and oak, natural fabrics and cutting edge design solutions redefine the concept of on board luxury and quality of life in the “expedition boat” market. The new 23 Long Range will be offered in a 3 or 4 cabin version with a 2 berth crew cabin aft and an optional captains cabin on top of the fly bridge by the wheelhouse. As for the performance, the new 23 Long Range offers the new innovative FER.WEY hull, which already offers great stability, but complemented by the Mitsubishi ARG, Anti Rolling Gyro System, which is worldwide exclusive to Ferretti which cuts roll caused by wave motion at anchor or under way by up to 50%, and stabilising fins, both mounted as standard. The 23 Long Range 23 is powered by twin MAN Common Rail power options, a 500hp and an 800hp version. Mochi is estimating cruising speeds of 13.5 knots and top speed of 16 knots, for the 800hp version.

Mochi Craft New Web Site

Mochi Craft presents its new World wide web show room.  Mochi was started in 1962 by Luciano Mochi Zamperoli and Renato Raffaelli as partner. In 1970 Raffaelli separates from Luciano and Mochi Craft is founded, this is followed in 1972 by moving the premises from Fano commercial harbour to the Pesaro industrial park.  Mochi boats are first build of marine plywood, with the switch to fiberglass construction coming in 1977.  In 1991 Luciano retires and gives leadership duties to Luigi Prosperi, a second in command to Mochi since the early eighties with a previous Iveco Fiat diesel engines sales experience.  Prosperi will manage Mochi till 1999 the year of its bankruptcy.  In 2001 Ferretti Group will purchase the Mochi Craft name, entering into the lobster down East cruisers and yachts market two years later.  From the late seventies up until the early nineties Mochi is one of the influential and important medium large Italian motor cruisers and yacht builders which set trends in the market not only in Italy but World wide.  From the beginning Luciano Mochi shows well thought commercial moves from entering with Renato, and winning the hardest and longest offshore Viareggio-Bastia-Viareggio race in 1968 with the production made Mochi Tahitian, to starting and produce only diesel powered boats. Other clever moves come in the eighties and the smart use of designers, like Fulvio de Simoni who penned the early eighties Dominator series, and is followed by Paolo Caliari who designs all models for ten years from 1984 to 94. Mochi last designers before the Ferretti Group era were the emerging Nuvolari Lenard, who will design three yachts from nineteen to 25 meters from 1995 to 99, with two other projects of a seventeen and a twenty meter which will be later produced by Dominator, which will take over some of the Mochi Craft assets and designs.  Paolo Caliari was the most important Mochi designer, with models like the 44 and 46 becoming icons at launch and a representation of the Italian yachting renaissance of the late eighties.  Another interesting Mochi strategy was that of corporative branding, started with the 1983 to 87 Mochi Comar corporation which will produce two models, to that of the Caliari Yacht off-shot which created the Puma, Coanda, and the CY series, this last selling four units of the 27 meter in between the late eighties and early nineties.  When Ferretti Group take over the Mochi name in early 2001, the design is trusted to Zuccon and Brunello Acampora for naval architecture of the traditional Down-East lobster cruiser and yacht series which debuts with the 51 Dolphin and is followed by the smaller 44 and larger 74 models in the space of a few years.  Mochi always launched important flagship models, from the C50 Fly in 1984 which debuts Paolo Caliari design partnership, to the largest ever Nuvolari-Lenard designed 25 Mega, which again put the Venice duo as main designers for the next four years.  Mochi currently offers five traditional lobster cruiser and yachts which start with the 44 Dolphin and go up to the 74 Dolphin, with the latest models being the new 54 Dolphin and the 64 Dolphin Flybridge.  Mochi new web site is available in Italian, English, and Chinese language and takes you around with the following buttons; Home, Company, The Fleet, News and Events, Dealer and Service Network, Pre-Owned, and Owner's Area.  Mochi is also on social media with a link taking you to its Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Telegram, and Pinterest pages.
