Delta Marine builds motor yachts in the Pacific Northwest tradition, with displacement hulls, long waterlines, and fuel tankage sized for genuine ocean passages. The Seattle yard has produced some of the most seaworthy expedition-capable motor yachts afloat, valued by owners and charterers who want performance at sea alongside civilised life on board. In Antigua and Barbuda, where Atlantic swells and reef-threaded passages reward vessels built for real cruising, a Delta Marine is a considered choice. Three Delta Marine yachts operate across this cruising ground, each offering well-appointed staterooms, a comfortable main saloon, and a professional crew of three or four who understand the anchorages and the rhythm of a Leeward Islands week. Weekly charter rates run from around 60,000 to 120,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent for fuel, food, drinks, and berthing, settled at week’s end against receipts. Peak season runs December to April, with Christmas and New Year commanding the highest rates. Book six months ahead for the best selection. From Falmouth Harbour the week unfolds through English Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard, across to the sheltered reefs of Nonsuch Bay, northward to the Dog Islands and Great Bird Island, and, on a settled day, across to the Pink Sand Beach and Codrington Lagoon of Barbuda, rewarding the yacht’s range with a destination few other Caribbean charters reach.
