Delta Marine’s Discovery Redefines Health-Focused Luxury at Sea
The Delta Marine Discovery yacht is redefining modern luxury at sea through a strong focus on wellness and active living. Designed as a floating retreat, the 156-foot custom superyacht blends exploration, relaxation, and comfort in equal measure. As a result, it introduces a new vision of yachting where wellbeing takes center stage.
Wellbeing at Sea, Reimagined
Built by the family-owned Delta Marine in Seattle, the yacht showcases American craftsmanship with European design flair. Meanwhile, Amsterdam-based Dasha Moranova Designs leads the interior concept.
Rather than formal layouts, the yacht favors flexible, indoor-outdoor living spaces. As a result, guests can move effortlessly between social areas and quiet retreats. According to Moranova, the yacht represents a balance between vitality and calm. In other words, every space supports both activity and rest.
Decks Designed for Active Living
At the top, the sundeck is an alfresco haven for both relaxation and entertainment, featuring sun pads, a spa pool, a grill, and even a waterslide. Just below, the bridge deck offers a large 12-seat dining table ideal for open-air meals with sweeping ocean views.
One of Discovery’s most distinctive features is its outdoor gym, positioned between the bridge deck and the Sea-Doos, allowing guests to work out surrounded by open water. On the main deck, a circular stone-clad bar becomes the social heart of the yacht—perfect for sunset cocktails after a day of activity.
Perhaps the most innovative space is the multi-purpose lazarette, which doubles as a wellness and adventure hub. Here, guests will find a sauna, cold plunge tub, full dive setup, paddleboards, scuba gear, and even smart facilities for measuring and preparing freshly caught fish—blurring the line between exploration and restoration.
Calm, Earthy Interiors Inspired by Nature
Inside, Discovery spans 499 gross tons, with interiors that echo the serenity of a luxury wellness resort. Natural materials—wood, stone, and seaglass—combine with an earthy color palette to create a soothing, grounded atmosphere throughout.
Rather than a formal salon-and-dining layout, the main deck features a lounge-style social space, anchored by a generous sofa and a 12-seat dining table. The result is an environment that feels relaxed, intimate, and effortlessly livable.
In addition to social areas, the yacht offers several quiet nooks for rest, reflection, and privacy—ensuring balance for every type of guest.
Accommodation Like a Luxury Spa Retreat
Discovery accommodates up to 12 guests across five cabins, each designed as a private sanctuary reminiscent of a Six Senses suite. A standout feature is the VIP suite, which can be expanded by combining two cabins—ideal for dual charter principals or families.
The sky lounge also offers additional sleeping flexibility, complete with a pull-out sofa, full bathroom, and wardrobe. With space for up to nine crew members, service on board is seamless, discreet, and highly personalized.
A New Direction for Modern Yachting
With Discovery, Delta Marine signals a shift in how modern superyachts are conceived—less about opulence for its own sake, and more about living well at sea. From sunrise workouts and cold plunges to fresh-caught lunches and tranquil evenings on deck, every moment on board is designed to restore both body and mind.
For charter guests seeking a more meaningful, health-focused escape, Discovery represents the future of luxury yachting.
