DELTA MARINE Yachts – Operating Since 1967

Delta Marine is located in Seattle, Washington, and the Pacific Northwest. The family-run shipyard build and refits custom superyachts up to 100m in length.

The shipyard achieves the highest standards in yacht building by developing relationships with customers and pursuing a mission to perform at the highest levels. 

DELTA MARINE history

Delta Marines found its start in 1967 when brothers Ivor and Jack Jones founded a shipyard on Seattle’s Duwamish River. Delta Marine’s focus was on building fishing boats capable of handling the rough seas of the Pacific Northwest.

Their success in the fishing sector led to the shipyard building luxury expedition yachts. Owners could explore all the corners of the globe, such as the Pacific Islands and Alaska. 

Delta Marine was developing custom superyachts exclusively by the 1990s. They have used the elite craftsmen from their local areas and continue developing and refining their composite yacht construction technology.

The 100m yachts that Delta Marine produces today are among the most beautiful in luxury standards worldwide.

The shipyard still continues as a family-run affair with Ivor’s daughter, Michelle, as Marketing Manager for Delta Marine, her sister Trisha in accounting. Jack Jones’ son, Chris, is in the production department. 

DELTA MARINE notable launches

Delta Marine’s prowess in the yacht building industry is apparent with their most notable and custom launches.

The MLR, launched in 2019, is one of these fantastic yachts. The 53m yacht features interior and exterior design from Jonathan Quinn Barnett.

The MARAMA was delivered to her owners in 2008, who proceeded to take her on a three-month exploration of Alaska and its coastline.

The voyage totaled 3200 miles. The long-range yacht was the best example of the shipyard’s ability to build comfortable expedition yachts for select clientele.

The 65.5m INVICTUS marked another achievement for Delta Marine as they delivered her in 2013. Delta Marine Group, the shipyard’s in-house design team, developed her exterior styling and engineering, with Diane Johnson Design crafting a luxury interior design. 

Delta Marine continues in its pursuit of developing high-end bespoke yachts for its select clientele.

Their prowess in the luxury yacht industry is cemented by their commitment to high standards of professionalism, dedication to innovation and creativity, and the ability to translate this into stunningly crafted vessels that feature high-end design concepts and state-of-the-art technology.

Delta Marine Yachts

Located in Seattle, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest, Delta Marine is a family-run shipyard that builds and refits custom superyachts up to 100 metres in length.

History of Delta Marine Yachts

Delta Marine was founded by brothers Jack and Ivor Jones on Seattle’s Duwamish River in 1967. The shipyard’s initial focus was on building fishing boats capable of handling the frequently rough waters of the Pacific Northwest. Delta Marine’s success in the fishing sector led the shipyard to build luxury expedition yachts that could take their owners north to Alaska, west to the Pacific islands, and around the world. By the 1990s, Delta Marine began exclusively building custom superyachts.

Through the years, Delta Marine have drawn on the craftsmanship of their local pool of talented artisans and have continued to develop and refine their composite yacht-construction technology. As a result, the shipyard has launched some of the world’s largest luxury superyachts.

Notable Delta Marine Yachts

In 2008, Delta Marine delivered the 37.6-metre superyacht Marama to owners who took her on a three-month, 3,200-mile voyage of exploration to Alaska and along its coastline. This long-range luxury yacht once again proved the shipyard’s ability to build comfortable expedition motor yachts.

The 64.53-metre superyacht Invictus launched in 2013 featuring a steel hull and composite superstructure. The shipyard’s Delta Design Group provided her exterior styling and engineering, while Diane Johnson Design created her elegant interior design.
