Delta Marine

Introducing DELTA + B&R 500, a new collaboration between Delta Marine and Bannenberg & Rowell Design, the London studio founded by Jon Bannenberg, the father of modern yacht design, now led by Simon Rowell and Dickie Bannenberg.

Fifty meters. Sub-500 GRT. Scalable across a full 50- to 75-meter range, with a 65-meter variant already underway.

The hull tells the story before you ever step aboard. A run of creases across the surfacing forms a subtle triangle motif, a delta, built into the form itself. This surfacing language continues throughout the design: aerodynamic angled canopies, sculpted aft bulwarks, reverse-angled window apertures aft. Together, they create a cohesive profile that conveys movement, precision, and strength.

Below deck, a diesel-electric hybrid system pairs podded drive units with integrated energy storage, full performance, meaningfully less fuel and emissions.

"Our goal was to create a yacht that feels unmistakably Delta while introducing a fresh sense of dynamism and physicality." - Simon Rowell, Bannenberg & Rowell Design

This project marks a broader vision for the future of Delta Marine: world-class design perspective matched with technical expertise and engineering excellence. This is only the beginning.

Before the superyachts, there was the Delta 58.

In working waters, reputation is built season after season, in weather, distance, and repetition. The entire livelihood depends on the boat coming home.

Even today the Delta 58 is still the benchmark for Alaskan seiners.

Delta Marine is pleased to welcome Tim Kershaw as Director of Sales.

Tim joins Delta at an important moment for our Seattle yard, with major custom projects underway and growing interest from experienced owners and brokers.

With 14 years of experience in the yachting industry, Tim brings a practical understanding of the full superyacht journey, from time spent at sea to sales, marketing, brokerage relationships, and new-build transactions.

In his new role, Tim will help lead new-build conversations and welcome brokers, prospective owners, family offices, and industry partners to experience the work taking shape in Seattle firsthand.

“This is an important moment for Delta, with significant new projects underway and growing interest from experienced owners,” said Michelle Jones of Delta Marine. “Tim brings the market knowledge, hands-on background, and relationship-led perspective we want at the front of our new-build conversations.”

For nearly 60 years, Delta has built fully custom yachts entirely in-house in Seattle, through a process defined by precision, collaboration, and trust.

Please join us in welcoming Tim to Delta.
