YACHTS.CO has been appointed a Delphia boats dealer in the UK. It's news we're proud to share, and it means customers across the country can now come to us for new Delphia motor cruisers, alongside the Jeanneau range we already represent.
Delphia is a Polish boatbuilder based in Olecko, and it's part of Groupe Beneteau, the same group as Jeanneau. The yard builds motor cruisers designed for rivers, canals and coastal waters, which makes the range a natural fit for the kind of boating a lot of our customers do, or would like to do. Not everyone wants to cross oceans. Plenty of people want a comfortable boat they can take along a river for a weekend, potter up a canal, or use for gentle coastal cruising when the weather's kind.
For us, taking on Delphia rounds out what we can offer. We started in Swansea in 2007 as a family-run sales and servicing business, and since then we've opened offices in Milford Haven, Poole and Corfu. Our customers range from first-time buyers to owners who've been on the water for decades, and a good share of them have asked about inland and sheltered-water cruising over the years. Now we can answer that with a range we represent directly.
Having Delphia and Jeanneau under one roof, both from within Groupe Beneteau, also makes life simpler for buyers who are weighing up different styles of boat. You can talk through a sailing yacht, a coastal motor boat and a river cruiser with the same team, and get a straight comparison of how each would suit the way you actually plan to use it.
If you're thinking about a boat of this type, it's worth starting with where you'll keep her and where you'll go. Inland waterways bring their own considerations: bridge clearances, lock sizes, draught and the practicalities of mooring along the bank. Coastal use asks different questions about seakeeping, fuel range and shelter. Accommodation matters too, from how many berths you need to how easy the boat is to handle with just two aboard. These are the conversations we enjoy having, and we'd much rather spend time on them up front than have anyone buy a boat that doesn't suit them.
Being a dealer also means more than selling the boat. We service what we sell, and we'll be there for handover, commissioning and the questions that come up once you're out using her. That ongoing support is a big part of why we've stayed family-run, and it's how we intend to look after Delphia owners as the range grows in the UK.
Our sister company Euroyachts, on the Clyde at Largs and Troon, has been a yacht brokerage since 1965 and is the Jeanneau dealer for Scotland have also been appointed Delphia for Scotland.
If you'd like to find out more about the Delphia range, or talk through whether one of these motor cruisers would suit you, please get in touch with the YACHTS.CO team. We'll be glad to help.
