2006 FITZROY YACHTS

DAKOTA is a striking 39m / 128ft sailing yacht designed by the renowned naval architect Ed Dubois, who was tasked with creating a truly world-capable sailing yacht. Built by Fitzroy Yachts in New Zealand with an aluminium hull, DAKOTA combines proven performance with refined comfort. Her interior, originally designed by RWD, was thoughtfully refreshed by H2 Yacht Design in 2022, creating contemporary, welcoming living spaces.

DAKOTA has just passed her 20 year survey and undergone significant investment by her meticulous owner; around €2,000,000 was spent in the last 12 months. A full list of works and improvements are available upon request.

Alongside a successful racing career, including participation in the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, the Dubois Cup and The Superyacht Cup, DAKOTA offers the comfort and amenities expected of a first-class yacht.

Her spacious layout accommodates up to ten guests in four elegant staterooms. On deck, there are plenty of inviting spaces to relax, from the sunken seating area on the foredeck, ideal for sunbathing or enjoying a book with the option of shade, to the sheltered al fresco dining area forward of the twin cockpit.

An additional lounge aft provides the perfect place to take in uninterrupted ocean views. For days spent on the water, DAKOTA's hydraulic swim platform offers effortless access for swimming.
