Delta Marine is a Seattle-based American shipyard with a reputation for building long-range displacement yachts in fibreglass and steel from 30 to over 90 metres. The yard has operated since 1973 and is known for interior craftsmanship and structural engineering, producing yachts that cross oceans while maintaining the comfort levels of a stationary villa. Grand Bahama Island suits Delta Marine charters well, offering straightforward passage from Florida alongside a variety of anchorages suited to the deep-keeled long-range hulls the yard produces. Old Bahama Bay marina at West End provides a logical arrival point with full customs clearance, while Freeport Harbour accommodates larger vessels with alongside berthing and well-stocked provisioning services. The three Delta Marine yachts available in this region carry the yard hallmarks of refined American interiors, comprehensive stabilisation systems and generous fuel tankage for extended passages. Weekly charter rates typically range from 100,000 to 350,000 euros depending on vessel length and specification. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel, food, marina berths and beverages throughout the itinerary. The Bahamas winter season from December through April brings settled northeast trade winds and exceptional water clarity, making it the most requested charter period for the region. Peterson Cay National Park and the Lucayan cave system are highlights for Grand Bahama itineraries, bonefishing at McLean Town offers a specialist activity on the eastern tidal flats, and the passage to Bimini is well within range for guests with additional days available.
