Why SS DELPHINE

About SS DELPHINE

SS DELPHINE is unlike any other charter yacht in the world. Built in 1921 and lovingly restored, this 78-metre steam yacht is the last of the great steam yachts still operating under her original quadruple-expansion engines. To step aboard is to step into another age - one of grand salons, polished brass and unhurried elegance - with the comforts of a modern charter quietly woven in.

Guest accommodation

SS DELPHINE accommodates up to 26 guests across 12 cabins, a generous capacity that suits large families, groups and events. Her staterooms and public rooms carry the grandeur of the 1920s, and a crew of 24 brings the whole experience to life.

Onboard comfort & entertainment

Her interiors are the entertainment: sweeping salons, a formal dining room and the unmistakable romance of a bygone era. Guests dine, dance and relax amid genuine period splendour, with wide decks for taking in the view as she cruises.

Performance & range

SS DELPHINE cruises at a stately 9 knots and up to 12, her original steam machinery giving her a character no modern yacht can imitate. She is at her best on relaxed, characterful itineraries - unhurried cruising as it was meant to be.

Toys & tenders

A selection of water toys and tenders is on hand for exploring each anchorage. But aboard SS DELPHINE, the yacht herself is the experience - tell us the style of week you have in mind and the crew will tailor it to suit.
