Owner Experience Review
The 380byDOLPHINis marketed as a compact performance cruising catamaran for extended cruising and liveaboard use, with family cruising and coastal/offshore passages in scope (CE Class A claimed in the published specs). Introduced in 2023–2024, it offers a 3-cabin, 3-head layout with an integrated galley and salon that opens to a large cockpit; dealer specifications list a 110V refrigerator and freezer plus a 4-burner LPG cooker/oven, and cabins are noted to include quality mattresses with USB/110V outlets.
On the water, builder and dealer materials present it as a performance-oriented design by Philippe Pouvreau. Published figures show a shallow draft of about 1.00 m and a 22' beam, with propulsion from twin Volvo Penta saildrives rated at 29 hp each—characteristics that align with shoal-cruising capability and conventional twin-diesel operation.
As a very new model, major owner forums have not yet produced independent long-term usage logs, handling reports, or charter feedback specific to the 380. Maintenance expectations follow typical twin diesel saildrive practice; options such as a 50 hp engine upgrade, genset, or inverter/charger are mentioned by dealers, and prospective buyers should confirm saildrive installation/access, sound protection details, and local parts availability with their broker or dealer.
Pros and Cons
- 3-cabin, 3-head layout with integrated galley/salon/cockpit and listed appliances (110V fridge/freezer, 4-burner LPG cooker/oven) suits extended cruising and liveaboard use.
- Shallow draft (~1.00 m) per published specs opens access to shoal cruising grounds.
- Marketed as a performance design by Philippe Pouvreau with twin Volvo Penta 29 hp saildrives and a 22' beam.
- Independent long-term owner logs and sea-trial reports for the 380are scarce due to its recent introduction.
- The CE Class A capability is claimed in the specs, with limited third-party validation from owners to date.
- Buyers should verify saildrive installation/access, sound protection, and local parts support with dealers when evaluating options.
