Follow
"Three Six Blue" is a Dolphin 460 catamaran designed by Phillipe Pouvreau and built in Brazil in 2006. She is 46' in length, 24' wide and weighs approximately 10 tons. When looking to transition from our Deerfoot 50 monohull ("Blue Rodeo") to a cat, the Dolphins were at the top of our list due to their nice balance of safety, comfort, performance and construction quality.
