Delphia 12 Sedan Debuts at 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival with 100% Electric Ambition

Polish yacht builder Delphia will show the Delphia 12 Sedan at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival in September

Delphia builds the 12 in both Flybridge and Sedan models, with the 12 Sedan for sale at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival. Designed for coastal and inland exploration, it features a photovoltaic system to extend visits to remote areas.

Delphia set a clear goal in its birthplace, amidst the Masurian lakes in Poland: to lead electric cruising in inland and coastal waters. By 2025, Delphia aims to offer 100% electric boats, spearheading the future of sustainable yachting. Delphia’s photovoltaic system enables yacht owners to plan extended trips to secluded areas while being completely self-sufficient.

Offering a choice of engines to each Delphia yacht buyer, their electric propulsion system has a positive carbon balance, generating no pollution, noise, heat, or fuel odors. 

The Delphia team was particularly exacting in selecting their partner for the internal combustion propulsion system. They chose Yanmar, a trusted name known for producing diesel engines that comply with the latest emissions regulations and standards.

Sustainability isn’t just about the environment; it’s also about our well-being. It’s a way of thinking and acting, and it should be a guiding principle for us all."
