DELTA 33 COUPÉ

In search of a cooler coupé? Delta might have just the thing...

- 

When you first lay eyes on this thing, you would bet your house on it being an entirely new model.

With its raised foredeck and virtually plumb bow, its rectangular inline hull windows, one-piece screen, uncluttered wraparound glass structure, panoramic sunroof and restrained, almost minimalist, style, it feels every bit the 'next-generation' sportscruiser. But actually, the first Delta 33 was introduced as an Open model in 2013, followed by the Coupé in 2017. Astonishingly, it took until 2025 for that second model to make its debut here on UK shores but we're particularly pleased to make its acquaintance because it's a subtly different boat in all kinds of ways.

EXTERNAL DECKS

As you approach the Delta 33 from the back end, a big uncluttered swim platform leads forward, via narrow walkways on either side of a central seating unit. This functions simultaneously as a forward-facing bench and an aft-facing lounger but you can swing the backrest forward and down to create a simple island sunbed instead. There's a pair of storage compartments inside this unit too, one accessed beneath a forward lid and the other from an aft lid. But both are particularly weighty to lift because there are no rams and the single allover cushion lacks a seam or hinge so it resists your attempts to lift either hatch, precisely as an unmodified mattress might in a forward cabin.
