Delta Marine is an American shipyard based in Seattle, Washington, producing semi-custom steel and aluminium motor yachts in the 35 to 55 metre range. The yard has operated since 1967 and is known for northwest-style craftsmanship, displacement hull efficiency, and interiors finished to a private-owner standard. Its vessels are proportioned for extended cruising rather than speed, making them well suited to passages across open water.
Three Delta Marine yachts are available for charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean. Lengths in service run from around 38 to 55 metres, accommodating eight to twelve guests in four to six cabins. Crew sizes of eight to ten are typical. The displacement hulls deliver efficient fuel consumption across longer passages, a practical advantage for a destination as remote as Inagua. Aft decks and tender garages are well suited to Bahamian watersports use.
Weekly charter rates for Delta Marine yachts in the Bahamas fall broadly between 80,000 and 250,000 euros depending on size and season. The advance provisioning allowance adds approximately 30 percent for fuel, food, berthing, and crew gratuity. Caribbean season peaks from December through April. On a fleet of three, availability can be limited around the holiday period, and booking six months in advance is standard practice.
Delta Marine displacement hulls are among the most comfortable choices for the crossing from Nassau to Inagua. The steady motion in open water reduces passage fatigue, and the fuel economy of a displacement hull suits the extended distances of the southern Bahamas well. Anchored off Matthew Town, the programme extends across flamingo reserves, reef dives, and bonefish flats that rarely see another vessel.
