Delta Marine builds motor yachts in the Pacific Northwest tradition, with displacement hulls, generous fuel tankage, and a build philosophy that emphasises reliability and range over pure speed. The Seattle yard has produced some of the most capable expedition-style motor yachts in the world, and in Barbuda, their qualities translate directly into practical advantages. The crossing from Antigua is 40 nautical miles; a Delta Marine handles it in comfort. Three Delta Marine yachts are available in this cruising ground, each offering well-proportioned staterooms, a liveable main saloon, and a crew of three or four who understand the island’s anchorages and the rhythm of a week spent between the Pink Sand Beach and Codrington Lagoon. Barbuda rewards the kind of long-range, self-sufficient cruising that Delta Marine was designed for: an island of great natural beauty, almost entirely undeveloped, where the yacht provides all the comfort and the shore provides all the scenery. Weekly charter rates run from approximately 60,000 to 120,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent for fuel, provisions, berthing, and drinks, with the displacement hull typically delivering moderate and predictable fuel consumption. Caribbean season runs December to April.
