Built for globetrotting, Delta Marine has launched its newest superyacht, ZEMBRA, from its Seattle shipyard. The 152-foot full-displacement motoryacht, equipped with an impressive collection of tenders, toys, and thoughtfully designed living spaces for exploring remote destinations, marks a major milestone as it enters the final stages of outfitting ahead of delivery.
Finished in a distinctive metallic Arizona bronze paint, ZEMBRA pairs refined styling with expedition capability. Large expanses of glass, clear angular lines, and a purposeful profile reflect the Owners’ vision for a yacht equally suited for cruising and exploration. Designed for transoceanic travel, ZEMBRA was conceived for owners whose passion for adventure shaped every aspect of the project.
“ZEMBRA isn’t just a yacht. It’s how we will share many incredible places we’ve explored that are only accessible by yacht with our grandchildren and dear friends,” says the Owner. “Getting to experience these places again through their eyes and exploring many new ones is the goal of ZEMBRA.”
Developed in close collaboration between Delta Marine and the Owners, ZEMBRA is equipped to support experiences above, below, and beyond the water. A dedicated helicopter landing area, two-person ICON A5 amphibious aircraft, a FunAir slide, two jet skis, and three-passenger U-Boat Worx submersible expand the yacht’s capabilities. A Williams Jet Tender and a comprehensive water toy inventory are all stored inboard to preserve the yacht’s clean profile.
The interiors were designed by award-winning interior designer Roger Thomas, who brought his experience designing high-end hospitality spaces to create an intimate, sophisticated feel throughout the yacht. Stainless steel accents, custom cerused oak finishes, and bold patterned carpet lend a pop of color to the transitional-style interior. Accommodations include five staterooms: a full-beam master suite on the main deck and four large guest cabins below, one of which is wheelchair-accessible. A fifth stateroom acts as a convertible fitness space with two Pullman berths. The carefully considered layouts support wellness and ease of living during extended voyages.
An elevator connects every deck, giving guests and crew effortless access to ZEMBRA’s array of outdoor spaces. The sundeck offers room to stretch out and take in the view, while a hot tub provides a place to unwind after a full day enjoying the yacht’s activities. On the bridge deck, a large outdoor table invites guests to gather for alfresco dining, extending the yacht’s elegant interiors outside.
“All of us at Delta Marine were thrilled to work with the Owners to help bring their dream to life,” says Michelle Jones, Vice President of Delta Marine. “ZEMBRA pushed our team in the best ways. It’s been a project full of both challenges and rewards. We look forward to seeing what destinations ZEMBRA reaches next.”
ZEMBRA features a composite hull, twin Caterpillar engines, and zero-speed stabilizers for a smooth, stable ride. A 3,500-pound SWL boom crane mounted on the bridge deck and a 10,000-pound SWL stern gantry crane enable a safe, efficient deployment of expedition equipment. Built to travel anywhere in the world safely and efficiently, ZEMBRA accommodates up to 12 guests and a crew of 10.
Following delivery, ZEMBRA will be available for charter through Northrop & Johnson, offering guests the opportunity to experience one of Delta Marine’s newest yachts and the expedition lifestyle for which the yacht was designed.
