Delphia

Delphia is a Polish motor yacht brand, part of Groupe Beneteau since 2018, whose boats are built in Poland. The current range is three hull sizes with layout variants: the Delphia 10 in Sedan, Lounge and LoungeTop versions, and the Delphia 11 and Delphia 12 each in Sedan and FlyLounge versions. Every model is offered with either diesel or electric propulsion, and the company states an aim of moving to fully electric ranges, positioning itself as the group's lead brand for electric cruising on inland waters and sheltered coastal areas. The design brief is visible in the hulls. These are displacement-speed canal and lake cruisers with wide beam, low air draft and large glazed saloons, which is the boat type where a modest electric drive is genuinely sufficient rather than a compromise. On a river at six knots the power demand is a fraction of what a planing hull needs, so the range question is a different question than it is on a coastal day boat. Delphia's own material describes more than thirty years of building experience predating the Beneteau acquisition, from a period when the yard was better known for sailing boats. Sitting inside a large group also means the electric versions reach a dealer and charter network that an independent yard of the same size could not build on its own.
