Delta Marine Industries Inc. announces a custom 110-foot motor yacht currently in build
and nearing completion. Developed in response to changing market dynamics,
particularly in the 110- to 124-foot
range, this project features a novel
hull platform designed for long-range efficiency and the capability for
speed. This yacht not only showcases the company's expertise in advanced composites construction, but also
delivers a full-custom, luxury, family-oriented vessel tailored for Pacific
Northwest cruising, all while offering the capability for speed. The project
underscores Delta Marine’s commitment to innovation and meeting the needs of
discerning yacht owners seeking both performance and personalized luxury.
“We’ve experienced increasing demand for a fully custom
option in the 110- to 124-foot size range,” says Delta Vice President Michelle Jones. “As most of the yachts in this
size are production builds, we were thrilled to work with experienced owners on
their unique vision for a Pacific Northwest-focused family yacht, which they
could operate with minimal crew and cruise the beautiful coastlines of the San
Juan Islands, British Columbia, and Alaska.”
Oceanic Adventures Unlocked
Appealing to avid boaters with a love for all waterborne activities, the yacht will feature a convenient beach garage for toy and gear storage as well as an articulating swim platform equipped with a Hydromar transformer sea stairs unit. The owners specified a custom aluminum tender to be packed on the boat deck and launched by a 5,000-lb davit. Another brilliant feature is the yacht’s anchoring system, for which Delta partnered with the anchor manufacturer to design a hidden flush-mounted anchor in the stem of the vessel.
The new double-chine semi-displacement hull form represents a significant advancement, as it is the first new hull design for Delta to be solely tested through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis. It is also Delta’s first project that will meet full IMO III and EPA Tier 4 recognition, which facilitated the installation of the newest approved gas exhaust systems on the main engines.
While the new hull form is designed for modest, efficient cruising speeds of 12 to 14 knots – affording a longer range – the yacht is also capable of cruising much faster when necessary. The hull shape, coupled with twin MTU 4000s at 2,600 hp each, allows the yacht to achieve an impressive top-end speed of 27 knots.
“Creating a new hull platform that accommodates custom builds in the 110- to 124-foot size range was a unique proposition for us,” states Jones. “But we are thrilled with this design and for the opportunity to showcase our capabilities in advanced composites construction with a full custom, full luxury, family-oriented Pacific Northwest yacht with the capability for speed.”
