Delphia marked its entry into the American market by exhibiting for the first time at the Seattle Boat Show from January 31st to February 8th. The brand was represented by its new distributor, Sundance Yacht Sales. Four models were on display: the Delphia 10 Sedan, the Delphia 11 Sedan, the Delphia 11 Flylounge, and the Delphia 12 Flylounge. The boats presented were specially designed to meet the expectations of the American market, enabling the development of new fleets and new locations for boat rentals and sales.

The Seattle Boat Show, the largest nautical event on the West Coast, represented a strong start to the brand's visibility and expansion in the United States.

Sundance Yacht Sales, new Delphia dealer

Sundance Yacht Sales, Delphia's new distributor, is based in Portland and covers the whole of North America, thanks to its extensive network and bases in Washington and Oregon. With over 50 years of expertise, this new dealership represents a major asset for Delphia and the brand's development across the Atlantic.

Martin Schemkes, Delphia Brand Director, explains: "We believe that deceleration is the key to enjoyable and relaxing cruising on inland waterways and coastal areas. That is why we give owners and passengers the possibility to enjoy moments of pleasure on boats designed for comfort, convenience, and ease, whether powered by electric or diesel propulsion. Our sustainable product solutions enable to mindfully harmonize with nature and our loved ones. We're delighted to offer our boats through this new partnership as we believe Sundance Yachts Sales is a dealership in the perfect area with the right connections for mindful cruising with Delphia Yachts. Additionally, our brand will shortly be represented in Florida and on the East Coast of the United States."

Nick Buck-Niehaus, President of the dealership Sundance Yacht Sales, declares: "We are proud to introduce Delphia Yachts to our boating community. The Seattle Boat Show is the perfect location for the introduction of Delphia Yachts to the North American market, as these vessels are exceptionally well suited for cruising in the Puget Sound. Pacific Northwest boaters will appreciate the efficiency, comfort, amenities, and sea-kindly cruising characteristics of the four models introduced at the Seattle show: the Delphia 10 Sedan, Delphia 11 Sedan, Delphia 11 Flybridge, and Delphia 12 Flybridge. Sea trials out of Seattle and Portland will commence immediately following the show."
