Motor cruisers for mindful cruising
Comfortable, easy-to-handle boats to live aboard on rivers, canals and sheltered coasts, with diesel or electric power. From £193,810, including VAT, delivery and commissioning.
The idea
Slow down, and enjoy the journey
Delphia builds motor cruisers for people who would rather take their time on the water. A Delphia isn't about speed: it's about space, comfort and the pleasure of the trip itself, whether that's a week on a canal or a few days along the coast. Delphia calls it mindful cruising.
The boats are designed to be easy to use, simple to look after and pleasant to live on in every season: wide side decks and flush decks, side doors at the helm for mooring, bright saloons with big windows, and bathrooms with separate showers even on the 10-metre boats.
- Serenity Boating as a pleasure, without the stress: simple to handle, easy to moor, quiet under way.
- Escape Every trip is a chance to explore, and to take your time doing it.
- Practicality Every choice has a purpose and every space is used, from the galley to the side decks.
- Responsibility Solar panels, electric drives, efficient Yanmar diesels and more sustainable materials.

Power to suit how you cruise
Delphias run on modern, fuel-efficient Yanmar diesels, for range and peace of mind on longer trips and at sea. Most models are also available with fully electric Torqeedo drives: no fumes, no vibration and no local emissions, ideal on rivers, canals and in protected areas.
Solar panels on the roof help keep the batteries topped up, so you can stay at anchor longer before heading back to a marina.
Where they go
Rivers, canals and the coast
Low air draughts take Delphias under most bridges, opening up inland waterways that taller boats can't reach. The Delphia 10s are certified for sheltered waters (CE categories C and D); the Delphia 11 and 12 are also certified CE category B, for cruising further offshore.
Whether it's the canals of Europe, a Scottish loch or a stretch of the Welsh coast, the idea is the same: an unhurried trip with everything you need on board.
The story
From the Masurian Lakes to the Beneteau Group
Delphia was founded in 1990 in Poland, between the Masurian Lakes and the Baltic Sea, building boats for calm waters, inland waterways and protected coastlines. In 2018 it joined the Beneteau Group, the same group as Jeanneau, which brought more engineering muscle while keeping Delphia's own character: practical boats, built to last.
Today's boats are drawn by Vripack Yacht Design (the Delphia 10s) and Tony Castro Yacht Design (the 11s and 12s).
