Delphia 37 Buyer's Guide
The Delphia 37 is a midsize cruising monohull designed by Andrzej Skrzat, offered in two- and three-cabin layouts with shoal or deep keel. The factory is in Poland. For a buyer scanning the brokerage market, the relevant questions are which layouts and equipment are typical, and where the build shows its weak points.
Layouts on the Used Market
Boats appear in either two-cabin or three-cabin form. The two-cabin version gives a larger head compartment, a better navigation station, and a deeper port cockpit locker, while the three-cabin trades those for an extra berth. The forward V-berth is pointed and can feel tight for two, so couples should view it in person. Standard joinery is light mahogany, though some boats show oak. Both layouts share the L-shaped galley with round sink, fresh and salt pumps, and gimbaled stove.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Electric winches, a bimini, autopilot, and chartplotter are commonly fitted, and the boat carries Lewmar deck hardware with Raymarine electronics as standard. A deep anchor locker with standard bow windlass and remote pendant is typical. Rig-wise, many will show a Sparcraft mast with Facnor in-mast furling and Ocean Sails, though a 9/10 double-spreader fractional rig with fully battened main and furling jib is the baseline. Power comes from a standard 40-hp Volvo diesel, with a 55-hp option on some boats, backed by a 70-Ah start and 105-Ah house battery.
What to Inspect
The foredeck lacks handholds, forcing anyone going forward to depend solely on the toerail and lifelines anchor. Reviewers also flagged a rather shallow bilge sump, worth checking for residual water and pump access. Otherwise the build shows careful detail: double-clamped hoses, bronze through-hulls, and conduit wiring with labeled ends are points to confirm during survey.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These yachts typically appear in the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Poland. For a shopper, the checklist is short: confirm keel-bolt and grid condition, verify the shoal versus deep draft and its effect on ballast, inspect the bilge sump and foredeck safety, and decide between two-cabin space and three-cabin capacity.
