Delta Marine, the Seattle-based builder of custom fibreglass composite motor yachts, has established a reputation for expedition-capable vessels that balance long-range seakeeping with the luxury amenity of a fully crewed superyacht. In St Lucia, a Delta Marine charter brings the ocean-going capability of these yachts to the leeward coast and the iconic anchorages of one of the Caribbean most dramatic island destinations.
Delta Marine yachts in the active charter fleet run from approximately 30 to 55 metres in fibreglass composite, with an explorer aesthetic that typically features high hull freeboard, extended fuel range and generous interior volume for extended voyaging. Deck layouts include substantial aft decks, beach clubs and pilothouse observation areas that suit the combination of passage-making and static entertaining that a St Lucia circuit demands.
Weekly charter rates for a Delta Marine in St Lucia run from approximately 70,000 to 150,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel for the leeward coast circuit, anchorage or Rodney Bay Marina fees, provisions from the island and crew gratuities. Peak Caribbean season runs from December through April.
St Lucia suits a Delta Marine charter well. The explorer character of the build matches the natural drama of the island, and the range and fuel capacity of these yachts make the Pitons anchorage a straightforward passage from Rodney Bay.
