Mochi Craft Yachts History & Heritage

The Mochi Craft brand name derives from its founder, Luciano Mochi Zamperoli, who established the company in the Adriatic seaport of Pesaro in the 1960s before moving it seven miles down the coast to the beach resort of Fano, where it was based until the turn of the millennium.

For its first 40 years Mochi Craft built open-top powerboats and flybridge cruisers, ranging from compact weekenders up to very large motor yachts. The brand was popular with Italian and German owners.

Everything changed in 2001 when Mochi Craft was bought by the Ferretti Group, which relaunched it as a builder of retro-modern lobster boats – the Dolphin line, which it still produces today. Mochi Craft’s logo, which had been a swordfish, was changed to a dolphin at this time.

A second range of yachts similar in look and style to Nordhavn, designed for long-distance, all-weather adventure cruising, was built alongside the Dolphin line for some years before being dropped. Ferretti has invested a lot of R&D in optimising the Dolphin line hulls but the look and functionality of the range has been a constant for almost 20 years.
