2003 Delphis 10

Boat Details Built by the renowned 'Northshore' yard in the UK the Delphis 10 is a superbly built, highly capable powerboat with a fantastic specification. There were only six Delphis 10s ever built (all by Northshore) to a design by Nigel Bennett (legendary British racing car designer) and Renato 'Sonny' Levy (highly renowned for his offshore racing powerboat designs and hugely influential in the development of the modern deep V delta planning hull form). 'Lo-Fi' is hull number four and Nigel Bennet took personal ownership of hull number two.Rare to the market and sleeping a potential six across two cabins and the saloon 'Lo-Fi' has benefitted from an extensive upgrade programme in 2019 including new twin Volvo D3 220hp diesel engines (only 260 hours run-time to date), fully upgraded navigation and engine instrumentation suite, Aquamatic sterndrives, Stainless Steel duo props and a Volvo Penta joystick docking system. With many recent upgrades including new canvas work (2025), Eberspacher heating (2024) and a new Isotherm fridge (2025).'Lo-Fi' performs extremely well with the owner reporting a comfortable and economic cruising speed of around 23 knots in open water (being 30 knots plus capable) combined with fantastic maneuverability in the marina utilising a Volvo Penta joystick docking system and a Sleipner bow thruster.With no expense spared and much upgraded this is a unique opportunity to purchase a stunning two owner from new, ready to go cruiser that will turn heads wherever she goes.This Delphis 10 is for sale and currently lying in the water at our Kip Marina office, please call to arrange an appointment to view.
