Delta Powerboats 72 For Sale

The Delta 72 brings the builder’s carbon fibre philosophy to the superyacht threshold, a 21.75-metre motor yacht with five cabins, dedicated crew quarters, and the performance to sustain 40 knots in conditions where most 70-footers would throttle back to displacement speed. Mannerfelt Design’s deep-V hull carries a 5.6-metre beam and 1.6-metre draft, proportions that create genuine interior volume while maintaining the hull efficiency that defines every Delta.nnStandard power comes from twin Volvo Penta D13-IPS 1350 units, the most powerful IPS installation available, delivering 40 knots through joystick-controlled pod drives that make close-quarters manoeuvring intuitive. An alternative quad Mercury V12-600 outboard configuration pushes top speed to 52 knots for buyers who prioritise raw pace and aft-deck freedom.nnFour guest cabins and a crew cabin sleep eight guests and two crew, with the accommodation standard and finish expected at this level: full-beam master suite, dedicated en-suites, and a saloon that opens to a cockpit entertainment area. A 3,100-litre fuel tank supports a 400-nautical-mile range at cruise, while 1,000 litres of fresh water ensures multi-day autonomy.nnAt 30,000 kg dry, the 72 weighs significantly less than any GRP or aluminium yacht of comparable size and specification. That weight saving translates into reduced fuel consumption, higher sustained speeds, and a dynamic handling character that makes the 72 feel more like an overgrown sports cruiser than a conventional flybridge motor yacht.
