At 124 feet, AERIE is a lightweight composite, semi-displacement, tri-deck motor yacht defined by high performance, technical innovation, and dramatic design. Named after an eagle’s nest, she evokes the grace and strength of her namesake—from her sculpted profile to her soaring speeds. Her interior pays playful and elegant homage to the eagle through exquisite materials and thoughtful details. With carbon-fiber structural supports and advanced engineering throughout, she is as strong as she is sleek. AERIE is a yacht of enduring beauty, precision, and practicality—as rare and magnificent as the eagle herself.

She presents a graceful sculpted profile from bow to stern, noteworthy for the absence of visible hardware. The strip of dark windows along the main deck is unobstructed by fastenings or mullions, and her side entrance doors are discreetly recessed. Using finite element analysis and Delta’s renowned expertise in composite construction, carbon-fiber supports keep the yacht strong, reliable, and lightweight.
The use of dramatic angles and graceful curves distinguishes the interior floor plan, a visual harmony that showcases many exciting individual design hallmarks. The entrance foyer aft features a magnificent floor inlay of two eagles circling in flight: a mosaic constructed of thin, feather-grained slices of petrified wood, tiger’s eye, and fossilized ivory, set in a circular field of Crema Delicato marble and Costa Smeralda quartzite. The spacious main salon conveys a light, subtle ambience in a current of cool ocean colors, with natural linen–colored wool carpeting hand-stitched in ribbed and striated textures. Forward to starboard, an elegant stairway curves in angled treads around a fluted rectangular column, creating elegant transport throughout her levels.
