Delta Marine is an American shipyard based in Seattle, Washington, producing custom motor yachts in steel and fibreglass between 30 and 80 metres. The yard has been operating since 1967 and is known for seaworthy displacement hulls built for extended offshore passages, often favoured by owners who expect their yacht to cross oceans as readily as it spends a week in the BVI. Charter yachts from Delta Marine available in the Anegada area number around three, each offering the reliable offshore performance and comfortable living arrangements that Pacific Northwest shipbuilding traditions consistently deliver. Weekly charter rates for a Delta Marine in the Anegada area start near 100,000 euros in low Caribbean season and rise to 350,000 euros for larger examples during peak winter weeks. An advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covers fuel, food, BVI harbour fees and onboard costs. Delta Marine’s displacement hulls are efficient at cruising speeds, which keeps fuel costs moderate relative to vessel size and supports a comfortable week of island hopping. Anegada’s coral atoll, with its famous Horseshoe Reef and flamingo-patrolled salt ponds, is one of the Caribbean’s most singular destinations. The lobster at the beach restaurants near The Settlement is a BVI institution. From Anegada the circuit continues south to Virgin Gorda for The Baths and North Sound, then west through the channel to Jost Van Dyke, Norman Island and a finale at Peter Island.
