New Delta 48: Upscale Fast Cruiser

Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr +

The new Delta 48 Coupe from Sweden is a sharp-looking, upscale, lightweight cruiser that comes with either twin diesel sterndrives or twin outboard power.

Delta has been building clean, elegant powerboats for the past 20 years. The new 48 Coupe is the result of a collaboration with Mannerfelt Design, which specializes in fast race boats as well as high-performing recreational boats.

The Delta 48 is built with an all carbon-fiber hull and deck to keep its weight down and to boost performance. You can order it with either twin 440-hp Volvo diesel sterndrives, or twin 600-hp Mercury V12 Verado outboards. The sterndrives have a top speed of 44 knots, a cruising speed of 32 knots, and a range of 400 nm at 30 knots.  The big Verados produce a 50-knot top speed, and 40-knot cruising speed; we don’t have a range estimate with the outboards.

The lower deck has three cabins and two heads, so it’s meant for comfortable cruising with a family, two couples or a few friends. The two guest cabins are located side-by-side amidships and share a head, while the owner’s cabin is forward with its own head.

On the main deck, the Delta 48 has deep, walkaround decks on both sides of the wheelhouse, so it’s safe to move around the boat and move to the sun pads on the foredeck and the aft deck.  The large cockpit has fixed seating around a teak table for al fresco entertaining. An overhang from the hardtop provides some protection from the elements,.

Sliding glass doors open to the wheelhouse, with wraparound glazing providing excellent visibility from the helm. A dinette is on the port side; the galley is to starboard. There’s a two-person bench seat facing the helm on the starboard side, and a matching seat to port. You can open the large sun roof for more light or fresh air.

Specs.: LOA: 49’4”; Beam: 13’1”; Draft: 3’3”; Disp.: 15,432 lbs.; Fuel: 317 gals.; Water: 105 gals.; Power: 2×440-hp Volvo diesel sterndrives, or 2×600-hp Mercury Verado outboards. Read more:
