Affordable Family-Friendly Boat Excursion Aboard Delphia 10 Cruiser
New Family Cruiser Delphia 10 Unveiled
The Delphia 10, a new addition to the Beneteau Group's line of offerings, is making waves in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), particularly in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). This family cruiser is designed for pottering along rivers, lakes, and canals in Europe.
The Delphia 10 is available in three versions: Sedan, Lounge-Top, and Lounge. Each variant offers a unique experience, catering to different preferences.
The Sedan version features an enclosed saloon and a convertible dinette, providing a cosy living space. The Lounge version, on the other hand, boasts a large seating area with a basic wet bar, ideal for entertaining.
The boat's interior is somewhat basic, with thin mattresses and seat bases, but it offers practicality and good value, positioning itself as a viable alternative to more upmarket boats. The guest cabin, while relatively tight, can be specced with a narrow double bed. The owner's cabin, however, offers good space, headroom, and natural light. The shared bathroom features a separate shower stall.
One of the standout features of the Delphia 10 is its design for inland waterways and its pioneering use of electric propulsion systems. With an electric power option, the Delphia 10 can cruise all day at 4-5 knots with minimal noise and no fumes, and can be recharged overnight. This makes it an eco-friendly choice for boat enthusiasts.
The Delphia 10 is not the fastest boat, but it offers serenity. Its displacement hull design ensures a smooth and stable ride. The boat can be powered by a single 40-110hp Volvo diesel shaftdrive engine or a 55kW Torqeedo electric motor with one or two 40kWh batteries.
The port side deck on the Lounge version is raised, offering less safety compared to the starboard side. This is something to consider for potential buyers.
The Delphia 10 is priced starting from €163,744 inc VAT, making it an affordable option for many. For more information, visit the Delphia 10's website at www.delphiayachts.com.
In conclusion, the Delphia 10 is a practical and eco-friendly family cruiser, perfect for those looking to explore Europe's inland waterways in style.
