Boat Overview

Delphi is a lovely example of the legendary Aquastar 38 Ocean Ranger. This boat is perfectly suited for weekend or extended cruising, as well as for enjoying a leisurely afternoon in the sun at anchor. It features a very sociable layout, with an aft cockpit that has in-fill cushion seating, accommodating up to 10 adults.
