About this tender
The Delta 60 Open is the build we ask Delta Powerboats for when a programme needs a serious day boat with genuine overnight capability and the structural integrity to justify the carbon bill. At 18.22m overall on a 16.60m hull, it sits at a length where most yards are reaching for aluminium or GRP; Delta builds it in vacuum-infused carbon-fibre composite throughout, hull, stringers, bulkheads, deck, and superstructure all laminated to Diab Core Infusion Technology standards. The result is a dry weight of 12,800 kg on a platform that carries twenty guests in open-plan comfort.
Propulsion is offered in two configurations: twin Volvo Penta D8-IPS 800 pod drives for owners who prioritise efficiency and range, or triple Mercury Verado V12-600 outboards for those who want the simpler servicing model and maximum top-end. The IPS specification delivers a quoted 450 nautical miles at 30 knots on a 2,900-litre fuel load, which is a usable range figure for Mediterranean or Adriatic programmes rather than a flat-calm record run. Top speed is rated at 38 knots.
Below deck, the layout is tailored to order. The standard arrangement runs a forward owner's cabin with en-suite, two amidships guest cabins sharing a second bathroom, a Fischer Panda 19 kW generator, and a Webasto 55,000 BTU air-conditioning system. The alternative layout substitutes one guest cabin for a below-deck lounge and galley, which suits a day-charter or family programme where sociable space below matters more than cabin count. A hydraulic swim platform doubles as a tender launch, and the integrated passerelle makes marina arrivals straightforward. Design is by Lars Modin; the hull is built at Luksusjaht AS in Estonia.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
Hull, stringers, bulkheads, deck, and superstructure are all vacuum-infused carbon-fibre composite, laminated using Diab Core Infusion Technology. At 12,800 kg dry on an 18.22m hull, the weight discipline is genuine, and it shows in the 38-knot top speed and the 450nm range at 30 knots.
Buyers choose between twin Volvo Penta D8-IPS 800 pod drives, optimised for the deep-V hull and offering joystick control with Dynamic Positioning System, or triple Mercury Verado V12-600 outboards for straightforward servicing schedules and strong top-end performance. Both options are offered from the factory.
Mirrored L-shaped sofas on both sides, multiple sunbathing areas, and a wet-bar galley module with BBQ, fridge-freezer, ice maker, and dishwasher give the cockpit a practical hosting capacity for up to twenty guests. The hydraulic platform extends the aft section seamlessly to the waterline for swimming and toy deployment.
The standard three-cabin arrangement places the owner's cabin forward with en-suite bathroom and two amidships guest cabins with a shared head. The optional layout converts one guest cabin to a below-deck lounge and galley, giving a different sociable balance for day programmes or family charters.
The helm station runs dual 22-inch Garmin MFDs, a Mastervolt 24V CZone digital bus, and a lithium battery bank as standard. Combined with Volvo Penta joystick control and DPS in the IPS configuration, the systems specification is appropriate for a captain running a complex daily programme without additional electronics outlay.
