A charter-ready yacht featuring an impressive lineup of expedition gear
(Seattle, WA) July 2025—Delta Marine is excited to announce ZEMBRA, a 152-foot full-displacement motor yacht engineered for global travel, deep-sea dives, and aerial exploration. Easily distinguishable in full metallic Arizona bronze paint, her profile is bold and robust. Large windows and clean angular lines reinforce a slight expedition influence, capturing the owners’ vision for an elegant, adventure-forward yacht.
“ZEMBRA springs from Delta’s proven full-displacement hull platform in the 150-to 164-foot range,” says Delta Vice President Michelle Jones. “This fully trans-oceanic hull design is both versatile and exceptionally capable, continuing our legacy of building true global travelers for active clients.”
Now taking shape at the Seattle-based shipyard, ZEMBRA reached a key milestone in construction when the hull and superstructure were joined to reveal the yacht’s full form for the first time—signifying the end of structural work and the beginning of outfitting. This pivotal moment celebrates the precision and collaboration between the client, design team, engineers, and craftsmen.
Built for experienced owners with a deep background in cruising and yacht ownership, ZEMBRA reflects years of planning, refinement, and personal involvement. The owners were engaged in every detail of the design, working closely with Delta to ensure that both form and function support their lifestyle on the water. The result is a yacht that delivers true luxury, engineered for long-range adventure and crafted to their exact vision.
Adventure is woven into every aspect of ZEMBRA. A designated private helicopter landing area, two-person ICON A5 amphibious aircraft, and three-passenger U-Boat Worx submersible expand the yacht’s capabilities. These are deployed using a 3,500-pound SWL boom crane mounted on the bridge deck and a gantry crane at the stern, designed for safe and efficient operation. Additional features include a Williams Jet Tender and a comprehensive water toy inventory, all stored inboard to preserve the yacht’s clean profile and versatility across environments.
Inside, the yacht features five staterooms, including a full-beam master suite on the main deck. Four large guest cabins below, with one being wheelchair accessible, supported by an elevator that connects all decks, ensuring all guests can move through the yacht with ease. Wellness amenities include a convertible gym space and thoughtful layouts that promote ease of movement and daily comfort.
Available for charter through Northrop & Johnson, ZEMBRA offers a rare opportunity for guests to experience a brand-new, custom Delta yacht firsthand.
