Delta Carbon Yachts, the U.S. division of Swedish luxury yacht builder, Delta Powerboats, announces the U.S. debut of the company’s flagship 88 all-carbon fiber luxury sport yacht.Miami-based Delta Carbon Yachts signed the contract for Hull #3 of the 88 series with an American client in 2015. The yacht was delivered in July and will make her stateside debut at the 2016 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in November.
Hull #4 is sold and under construction and will be delivered to another American owner in summer 2017. Hull #5 is under negotiation.
The 88 Carbon Sport Yacht was first introduced in 2013 and represents Delta Powerboats’ entrance into the megayacht arena. As the largest in a series of all-carbon fiber sport yachts, the 88 Carbon features joystick-controlled Volvo IPS propulsion, which drives the 80ft hull to a top speed of 38 knots while allowing for superb maneuverability and effortless owner/operator handling. Lightweight construction, an efficient hull design by Lars Modin, and triple Volvo IPS 1200s afford a fuel efficiency that is up to 40% less than that of comparable sized yachts. The balance of luxurious styling, fuel efficiency and seakeeping led the 88 to be awarded the title Motor Boat of the Year for 2015.
The 88 Carbon Sport Yacht features a world-class Scandinavian-designed interior that is highlighted by exceptional visibility, high-end finishes and generous storage. Designed for owner/operators or to run with a small professional crew, the 88 Carbon accommodates up to ten guests. Accommodations include a full-beam king size master suite, a VIP and two twin cabins below deck. There are quarters for three crewmembers situated aft. The large, versatile cockpit and spacious exterior deck areas easily facilitate any on-the-water activity, from fishing and diving to swimming and sunning.
“Buyers in the American market are recognizing the exponential benefits of carbon fiber-built yachts,” says Chapman Ducote, Delta Carbon Yachts’ Director of the Americas. “To have a yacht that is constructed of the strongest, most efficient material coupled with the best propulsion system in a size range that is sought-after by American yachtsmen is quite unique. We are thrilled to present to our U.S. buyers a yacht that simply is like no other.”
