Beautiful Boats: Maxi Dolphin MD51 Power



MD51 Power is a motor yacht that capitalizes on Maxi Dolphin’ s expertise in building sailing yachts: the use of composite materials, the application of advanced construction technologies, and the design of hulls with excellent hydrodynamic efficiency.



A super-modern mega-tender yet of retro inspiration. The shape, based on the motorboats style of the ’30s, makes a contrast with today’s high-tech materials: the entire boat is built using the Sprint technology, that allows to achieve extreme strength and unmatched lightness, just above 10,000 kg. 




The engines are masterpieces of technology: the MD51 Power has two 435-HP Volvo Penta IPS 600 engines. IPS (Inboard Performance System) is the new revolutionary propulsion system developed by Volvo Penta. Its specially-positioned propellers greatly enhance the system efficiency, offering higher top speed, as well as increased acceleration and overall performance. Moreover, thanks to the significant reduction in fuel consumption, the cruising range increases significantly.


Car-like maneuverability gives perfect handling at high speed, while the Volvo Penta joystick system permit very easy docking. Engine noise and vibrations at minimum level and lack of exhaust fumes contribute to the great comfort on board.
