About Delta
Delta Powerboats is an independent Swedish motor yacht builder, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Stockholm, with production carried out by around 140 engineers and craftsmen at a dedicated factory on the island of Saaremaa, off the Estonian coast. The company was established by a trio of Swedes, Lennart Alpstål, Lars Modin, and Kalle Wessel, heading production, design, and sales respectively, and every hull is made to order in close collaboration with the client.
The range runs from 7.5m up to approximately 26m, covering open dayboats, walkaround cruisers, sportscruisers, and larger flybridge models. Within the tender and chase-boat segment, the T26 (8.1m) and the T33 sit alongside the broader open and coupé lines; the T26 is a centre-console format conceived specifically for water-sports use, with a Mannerfelt-designed multi-stepped deep-V hull capable of 53 knots with seating for eight. The T33, running twin Mercury V10 outboards on the same Mannerfelt hull architecture, reaches a published top speed of 55 knots.
What distinguishes Delta in this segment is the carbon-fibre construction programme it pioneered from 2010. The 54 IPS was the first serial-production motor yacht built entirely in carbon fibre, delivering a claimed 40 per cent reduction in fuel consumption compared with conventional composite hulls. The 54 and the flagship 88 Carbon have both taken Motor Boat of the Year honours at MB and Y. We'd put Delta alongside the more visible Scandinavian names when an owner's programme calls for fuel efficiency and clean Nordic aesthetics at a price point below the larger Italian build centres.

Chase Boats Explained: Sizes, Costs and Use Cases
A chase boat is an independent 8-20m vessel that travels with the mothership rather than inside it. This guide covers the size and cost bands, the use cases that justify one, and how to decide whether the brief needs a chase boat or a larger primary tender.
ReadDavit Systems and Launch/Recovery for Tenders
The davit is the part of the tender programme nobody thinks about until it fails. This guide explains the launch-and-recovery options, the SWL and cost that drive them, and why the geometry is locked at yacht-concept stage before the tender is chosen.
ReadLead Times and Delivery: Planning Your Tender Build
Tender lead times are the single most under-planned variable in superyacht projects. This guide sets out the six phases of delivery, the realistic 2026 timing, 14 to 30 months for a custom build, 6 to 14 weeks for stock, and how to plan it.
ReadTender Insurance, Survey and Sea Trials
A tender purchase that closes without a clean survey, a bound insurance policy and a documented sea trial has three failure modes baked in. This guide walks the acquisition sequence we use, what good looks like at each step, and the recurring traps.
