Delta Marine Review

Delta Marine was founded by the Jones Family in the early sixties near Seattle, Washington. The plant is located on the Duwamish River where they have spent the last four decades building vessels that are strong enough to handle the treacherous Bering Sea and other rough Alaskan waters. The Delta name has become trusted for building sea worthy vessels that can stand up to the elements in style and comfort.

In the early years Delta Marine built family pleasure and high speed boats. Later the company went on to build and market Alaskan tough commercial fishing boats as well as charter fishing boats. Early on Delta created a name for itself and became known for reliable mechanicals as well as durable construction. In the mid eighties Delta again shifted focus slightly. The vessels were still hardworking seafaring powerhouses, only now they had become some of the most luxurious yachts on the market. In the nineties Delta began to focus solely on mega yachts that carried the highest distinction. With advanced technology and innovative design coupled with a dedicated staff that is committed to client satisfaction Delta has become an industry leader in the luxurious mega yacht market.

Over the years Delta Marine has been the recipient of many awards such as the Best Motor Yacht Interior and Highest Technical Achievement awards at the annual ShowBoats Rendezvous in Monaco. Delta has built and sold over 800 vessels in the last four decades and continues to be on the forefront with luxury yacht construction.

Pricing

Delta yachts are built to order with custom designs for each individual buyer. New yacht prices will depend on several factors including size and appointments. Used Delta yachts are extremely rare to find on the open market. Owners very rarely sell these high end mega yachts except through private brokerages.

Pros

• Delta yachts are totally customized to each buyer’s needs and tastes.
• The Delta name is recognized as a premier builder of seaworthy vessels capable of withstanding even rough Baring Sea waters.
• All Delta yachts will reflect the personality and lifestyle of their owners down to the last detail.

Cons

• All Delta yachts are custom so there are no standard or “off the shelf” models to choose from.
• There is a lengthy wait time for completion of yachts due to the fact that each component is custom to that order.
• Delta yachts are mega yachts that ooze luxury and as such carry a very hefty price tag.

Featured Models

Delta does not have a model or series line since all yachts are custom ordered. There are some quite notable yachts such as the Katya, the Slojo, Mr. Terrible, and Happy Days.

Conclusion

Delta Marine produces some of the most notable sea faring yachts on the market.
