Delta Marine is an American shipyard based in Seattle, Washington, building custom composite motor yachts from around 28 to 50 metres, known for their structural integrity, volume and a design tradition that prioritises long-range offshore reliability over planing performance. The three Delta Marine charter yachts available in Cayman Islands bring a different character to the Caribbean charter fleet, with displacement hull forms that handle open-water passages in comfort and interiors designed to make extended time aboard a genuine pleasure.
The Cayman Islands suit Delta Marine yachts well. The North Sound on Grand Cayman provides sheltered anchorage in a protected lagoon, and the warm, clear Caribbean water makes the most of the swim platform and water sports equipment that these yachts typically carry. Day passages to Little Cayman and Cayman Brac are well within the range of a displacement hull at modest speeds, and the sea-keeping makes the crossings comfortable even when the trade winds build.
Delta Marine charter rates from Cayman Islands range from approximately 50,000 to 120,000 euros per week. An advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent for fuel, food, marina fees and drinks. The Caribbean winter season runs from November through April, though the Caymans remain warm and viable year-round, and summer charters offer a quieter alternative without sacrificing water clarity or warmth.
Crews of three to seven manage these yachts with the bluewater experience that Pacific Northwest-built vessels attract and the Caribbean familiarity that the Cayman Islands circuit requires.
