Happy Dolphin II is a 400 GT displacement yacht distinguished by her generous volume, solid build, and timeless style. Still under originally ownership, she has benefitted from consistent care, investment, and the dedication of a long-serving crew. Most recently, an extensive €2.8 million refit in 2024 saw a number of upgrades and enhancements, including a full repaint. Inside, her design balances traditional elegance with modern comfort, offering expansive decks, a full-beam master suite on the main deck, and a bright interior illuminated by large windows.

Happy Dolphin II offers expansive outdoor areas across all decks. The sundeck features a high bar with a sink and built-in sofas, along with a shaded al fresco dining area. A second al fresco dining area is found on the main deck, with a generous swim platform below providing easy water access and a practical launch point for tenders and water toys. The upper deck aft connects to the upper salon via two curved sliding glass doors. This is a versatile space, currently arranged with a pair of armchairs but easily adaptable to different setups, whether for lounging, dining, or entertainment.

The interior combines classic craftsmanship with a welcoming ambience, enriched by wood finishes and refined detailing. In the main salon, expansive windows bathe the space in natural light, highlighting the glossy woodwork and enhancing the sense of openness. Aft is a comfortable lounge with deep sofas, while forward, behind a central bulkhead, lies the formal dining area. Together, the two spaces function as distinct yet complementary areas within a shared footprint. The main deck lobby features a striking compass star marquetry set into the floor, with staircases connecting the decks above and below and a skylight illuminating the upper lobby. On this level, the upper saloon offers a more informal setting with sofas, a bar, and a desk.

Happy Dolphin II sleeps up to eleven guests across five beautifully appointed cabins. A full-beam master suite is positioned forward on the main deck and includes its own private “parlour” with a desk, storage, and a generous en suite bathroom with his-and-hers sinks. On the lower deck, accommodation is arranged with versatility in mind: two double cabins and two twin cabins, one of which includes a Pullman berth, ensure a flexible and comfortable setup for family or guests.

In 2024, nearly €2.8 million was invested in a comprehensive refit, encompassing both cosmetic enhancements and technical upgrades. The yacht received a full exterior repaint along with the complete replacement of her teak decks. Behind the scenes, her systems, engines, and infrastructure continue to be professionally maintained by a loyal, long-serving crew.
