‘Delphi’ is a lovely example of the legendary Aquastar 38 Ocean Ranger. This is a boat perfectly suited to weekend/extended cruising and for just popping out to enjoy a leisurely afternoon in the sun at anchor and taking advantage of the very sociable layout she possesses.- her aft cockpit has in-fill cushion seating which can happily seat 10 adults! 

Being an Aquastar, she is more than capable if you’re caught out by changing conditions at sea; as evidence of just how capable these boats are, two Aquastar 38’s circumnavigated Britain just last year and it took them less than a month! 

Delphi has been fully serviced and maintained and she has benefited from a thorough overhaul in the last few years. Just some of the highlights of recent works include:

• Electronic throttles new in 2023

Delphi is powered by a pair of Caterpillar 3116’s, producing 350hp each with circa 1300 hours on each engine.  As you can see from the list of works, extensive attention has been lavished on her mechanicals, heedless of cost.
