Overview

Why DELICIA Stands Out
If you're looking for an Island Packet that you can cruise now with confidence, DELICIA is rare: she has high-end systems, excellent maintenance, strong safety and redundancy, and all the cruising tools built in. She is ready for long passages, liveaboard life, or just heading south for the winter in style.
