About this yacht
SAMBA – 1994 Delta Marine Offshore Cruiser | German Flag
SAMBA is a serious offshore cruising yacht built by Delta Marine to robust German standards, designed for long-distance sailing, heavy-weather capability and dependable liveaboard comfort.
This is not a lightweight coastal cruiser or a cosmetic marina boat. SAMBA was built for sailors who value strength, reliability and genuine offshore capability.
Built in 1994 and German-flagged, she has benefited from knowledgeable ownership and substantial recent upgrades that significantly improve comfort, safety and onboard autonomy.
What truly separates SAMBA from many yachts in this price range is her proven offshore track record. She has already demonstrated her seaworthiness in extreme real-world conditions, including surviving a severe New Zealand typhoon with reported winds reaching up to 110 mph.
Very few yachts can genuinely claim that kind of offshore history.

• Strong German-built offshore construction
• Proven bluewater cruising capability
• Repowered Yanmar diesel engine
• Approx. 1,000 Ah lithium battery system
• Solar power installed
• New extra-thick 16 mm teak decks
• 3-cabin / 2-head layout

• Modern lithium battery bank
• Approx. 1,000 Ah battery capacity
• Solar charging system
• New 16 mm hand-selected teak decks
• High-quality cockpit bimini and protection systems
• Upgraded onboard electrical systems
The yacht presents cleanly and is ready for immediate cruising.
Layout & Accommodation
The interior is designed around practical long-term living and offshore passage-making.
• 3 cabins

Built for Serious Cruising
SAMBA's appeal is not simply her equipment list. It is the combination of robust construction, proven offshore history and meaningful recent investment.
For sailors looking for a yacht capable of genuine ocean passages rather than simply coastal cruising, this is a very different proposition from the typical older production cruiser.
Summary
SAMBA is an honest, capable offshore yacht with the upgrades, layout and proven track record that serious cruising sailors look for.
With her Delta Marine construction, repowered Yanmar, substantial lithium battery system, solar power, new 16 mm teak decks, offshore equipment and 3-cabin layout, she is well suited to extended cruising, liveaboard use and serious passagemaking.
