DAKOTA Yacht Charter

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 aluminum 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. 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 charter yacht.

Her spacious layout accommodates up to nine 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 and enjoying her selection of water toys. Throughout the charter, her experienced crew of six will deliver attentive service, ensuring a relaxed and memorable experience on board.

The yachting industry has no global listing service to which all charter yachts must subscribe to, making it impossible to ascertain a truly up-to-date view of the market. Charter Index is a news and information service and not always informed when yachts leave the charter market, or when they are recently sold and renamed, it is not always clear if they are still for charter.
