Dolphin Boat | 51' Dettling 1996

DOLPHIN is a terrific example of a boat that was built to the highest level in terms of craftsmanship, design, and design execution. There are so many clever ideas built into this boat, it will amaze those fortunate enough to spend time aboard. Ed Dettling, the builder and driving force behind the Dettling brand built boats that powerboaters, and sail-boaters alike would appreciate. Not only is the quality good, the hull design by Hunt outstanding, but the countless number of details make this boat perfect for short- and long-term cruising by a couple or two couples. To build this boat today a boat builder would have to charge an astronomical amount.

The boat's classic lines look great but are also very functional. The main salon, for example, features huge, fixed windows that let wonderful light into the main living area. The galley is connected to the main salon, and it is extremely functional with outstanding freezer and refrigerator space, outstanding storage, and clever elements like a trash drop directly into the trash can from counter level.

Forward of the galley is the full beam master stateroom with a double berth athwartship. Storage is plentiful throughout. Attached to the master stateroom and forward is the master head with separate stall show and plenty of storage.

Aft of the main salon is the guest cabin with attached head and shower. There is a full-sized washing machine and dryer in the head. The berth is a double berth. Again, there is outstanding storage in this space.

Aft of the main salon and up slightly curved steps are the pilothouse/helm station. The sense of control provided by great visibility is instantly felt when sitting at the helm bench seat. A clever design element is implemented in the pilothouse for those who like to drive outside, but don't want a full flybridge. The area inboard of the helm station is designed to be stood upon and there is a large sliding hatch which one can then stand up through. There is an enclosed electronics box just forward of the hatch that allows the captain to comfortably handle the boat while standing partly outside.

The aft deck/cockpit is a favorite place on this boat as it is covered with a hardtop. There is a beautiful folding table in the middle of the space with four folding captains' chairs. What a perfect place to enjoy a quiet morning or relax at anchor after a good day's trip.

DOLPHIN has been lovingly maintained by her owners. She is extremely clean on both the interior and exterior. The Awlcraft 2000 Jade Mist Green hull and the deck, pilothouse and cabin house painted with Imron Cream with green accents is beautiful.

Denison Yachting is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat is centrally listed by United Yacht Sales - Florida Treasure Coast.

I was picking up my Back Cove 41 yesterday from Jarrett Bay and saw a lovely Dettling 71 in the water there. I was not familiar with the boat and a google search gave limited information. I see they were made in Maryland, but now out of business, and it looked like that occurred during the last recession. I really liked the boat's lines, but wondered if anyone here had any other experience with them? Or background on the boat company? Thanks, Mark  

The hull form reminds of the old ChisCraft  

I don’t know but, I’ve seen several up and down the coast and like the looks of them.  

• May 9, 2022

FWIW, I looked at one for sale in Virginia. It did indeed seem reminiscent of old Chris Crafts (in very good ways). The classic express cruiser layout, the hull form, accessible side decks, and construction quality were all exceptionally good IMHO. The layout is a little odd, with the guest cabin jammed in under the pilothouse/helm area. The biggest design compromise was access to the helm seat. To fit the guest cabin, the helm seat is raised on a platform about 2-3 feet off the pilothouse floor. One needs to climb a step to get onto it (it's too tall to leap in a single bound). Once in the seat, headroom is very tight. 5'11" brushes up against the pilothouse roof, which I thought would get very interesting in any kind of seaway, with my head pounding a hole thorough the ceiling (or flattening the top of my head). There also is no room to stand at the helm. The only choice for piloting is seated on the perch, with limited headroom. Despite all the other nice things about the design, the helm was a deal breaker for me. I wish it was different, but it didn't look like it could be easily modified. YMMV

Rarely does a yacht builder spend as much time and effort on every detail of his creation as Ed Dettling. Every Dettling is started and finished as if it was going to be the last boat Ed Dettling ever built and his legacy. Many builders would like to make this claim but the Dettling 51 truly does live up to it. The quality of craftsmanship is unmistakable. Immediately apparent is the golden hand-rubbed teak interior, extraordinary visibility and the natural light that makes the boat feel bigger than it actually is. Less obvious, the painstaking methodology used to fabricate and install every piece of equipment, features like a walk-in standup engine room (almost never seen a boat of this size), or redundant systems that practically guarantee that you will not have any reason to make any repairs underway. Every piece of equipment is placed with the forethought that if someday someone is going to need to replace or repair it they could do so easily. Ventilation, storage, wiring accessibility, ship handling, tender storage, anchor washing, engine removal, rain water collection for wash downs, and many more details have been thought out, engineered, perfected, and built into the boat.

This proven boat could be called an Express Cruiser, a Motoryacht and even a Downeaster, but regardless, the quality and the pedigree of having been designed by C. Raymond Hunt and built by the reputable Dettling Yacht Company, has distinguished itself as a premier yacht with a superb reputation.

Ed Dettling has produced some of the finest US built boats since he started in 1992. It has been said that he has a “relentless pursuit of perfection”.  That coupled with the reputation of C. Raymond Hunt designers and naval architects, with a long record of turning out some the finest, dryest, offshore performance hulls, make this boat quite exceptional. It is all about the details.

This boat can cruise economically at any speed up to 25 kts. and maxes out at 30 kts. At 20 kts. the fuel consumption is a mere 23 gphr. At 16 kts. the consumption is 17 gphr. All machinery is balanced into the aft section, therefore the noise levels inside the boat are minimal. The raised Express bridge, which can be open or closed, offers 360 degree visibility, allowing the owners to be able to cruise easily in quiet and comfort.

Not many of these solid, handsome boats hit the market. If you want to see a true example of fine craftsmanship, with a rich and warm interior, in absolutely great condition, don’t miss the chance to inspect this fine cruising yacht. You will not be disappointed in what you find.

Dettling 48 Design and Construction

Motivated by a love for everything boats Ed Dettling set out to build the finest cruising yacht available. His original intention was to build one boat and cruise it in retirement. People took notice of his design and attention to detail and asked him to build a boat for them. Thus began Dettling Yachts. Dettling yachts are built without compromise, even on the smallest of details. The Raymond C. Hunt and associates designed hull is molded and the top deck installed before any interior work is performed. All components, ship systems, and joinery work is carried through the door leading into the vessel. Because of this, painstaking attention to detail is an absolute necessity. Much of the joinery work is done with hand tools resulting in tighter fits and finer finishes. All systems such as, lighting, electrical, engine components, refrigeration, and plumbing are designed and installed with maximum commitment to comfort and common sense.

Dettling 48 Vessel Walkthrough

The vessel is boarded just aft of midship through an access station in the railing. The first area seen after boarding and going aft is the aftdeck. The aftdeck boasts the only wood work on the exterior and is rich and inviting. The perimeter of the teak deck is open for drainage ensuring that any water taken over the rail is quickly drained away. The aftdeck will accommodate up to 6 guests comfortably and is intimate enough for an afternoon siesta. Teak table with 4 chairs with room to spare. Fiberglass dunnage box in this area as well. There is built in storage in the cabin bulkhead and the deck hatches lead to the engine room. Engine room has a primary access from the aft bulkhead inside the boat.

Forward of the aft deck are the side decks leading to the foredeck. The railings are substantial and are tall enough to provide a sense of security when going forward at sea. There is a Maxwell 2200 anchor windlass and capstan. The windlass, wash down port, and hooded vent are all stainless steel.

The dingy and davits are located off the transom keeping weight off the hardtop.� 

The pilot house door is on the port side of the aft cabin bulkhead and opens to the bridge area. The bridge area is two steps up onto a platform with a long couch like seating area that will accommodate four comfortably. The helm is located on the starboard side and is comfortable to operate. Gauges, electronics, helm, and throttles are logically placed and easy to reach. Visibility from the helm is one of the main design features of the Dettling 48. The approximate eye level when seated at the helm is roughly 10 feet above the water line, The side windows open, and the top hatches slide open. Ventilation to the helm is provided by a unique pass though from the fore deck. Water is channeled away from the ventilation ports via an interior fiberglass trough built into the top deck. This system is very effective and allows for fresh air to come into the cabin at cruising speed in all but the most severe conditions, without getting water in the boat. The tracks along the opening bridge deck windows are a custom designed and do an excellent job funneling water away from the windows.

There are steps leading down into the salon on the port side just forward of the bridge deck. The companion way is reminiscent of sailing vessels and provides a distinct separation between the topside and down below. The main salon is open and very comfortable. The tall windows provide tremendous natural light, and the curtains transform the area into an intimate living room setting. The floors are carpeted, there is an 'L' shaped settee on the starboard side with an adjustable pedestal table in front.�  There is a bar at the forward end of the salon that makes up to the galley. The ceiling is carpeted with varnished battens placed at interval.

There are two steps leading down into the aft guest cabin. The double size berth is on the port side and recesses into a cubby going forward. Above the bed are individual lights for reading. The guest head is on the starboard side of the cabin. The vanity is against the aft bulkhead and the head, shower, and washer and dryer are just forward of the vanity on the starboard side.

Engine room access is through a hatchway centered in the aft bulkhead. The engine room is well laid out with a fuel manifold on the port side center forward and four Racor fuel filters just aft of the manifold. The generator is on a pedestal, centerline aft and is enclosed in a sound dampening enclosure.

The u-shaped galley is located forward of the main salon with the sink, counter, and stove running transversely along the master stateroom bulkhead and bar. The high efficiency holding plate refrigerator is mounted fore to aft on the starboard side. There is a microwave oven flush-mounted above the refrigerator. There are two temperature gauges that passively monitor the refrigerator temperature flush mounted above the refrigerator.

The master stateroom is just forward of the galley and has a transverse mounted queen size, tapered berth with built in nightstands on either side and storage via built in drawers below the bed, under the nightstands, and along the starboard side bulkhead.

The master head is located forward of the master stateroom. There is a large sink and counter on the starboard side, the head is center forward, and the shower is to port.

There is a small access hatch centered in the forward master head bulkhead. This hatch leads to the chain locker and the 50 amp cord holding basket mounted under the 50 amp cord deck port.
