ALM Delfino 64 Raised Pilothouse
Dutch-Built Steel Explorer Yacht | Long-Range Cruising Spec | Major Owner Upgrades
This ALM Delfino 64 Raised Pilothouse is a rare Dutch-built steel explorer yacht designed
for serious cruising, long-range comfort, and owner-operator confidence. Built by
Jachtbouw De Alm, the Delfino 64 features a steel multi-chine hull, seawater-resistant
aluminum superstructure, raised pilothouse, hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, fin
stabilizers, John Deere diesel power, Victron lithium-based electrical architecture, and
true passagemaking capability. ALM lists the Delfino 64 with a steel hull, 8mm
underwater plaFng, 6mm side plaFng above the waterline, aluminum superstructure,
10,500-liter fuel capacity, and an approximate 3,000 nautical mile range.
What separates this particular vessel is the ownership story. The current owner
purchased the yacht when she was only about one year old. The original owner
reportedly used her lightly, including a delivery trip to Norway, with roughly 300 hours
at that Fme. The second owner loved the platform but wanted to enhance the vessel for
a broader cruising audience and returned her to the Dutch shipyard on an open-
checkbook basis.
The result is a far more complete global cruising package with a factory hardtop,
watermaker, full air conditioning throughout, teak decking, Steelhead Marine ES1000
crane, lithium iron battery system, second alternator, Victron remote monitoring, 115V
conversion for U.S. use, flybridge refrigerator, upgraded Simrad systems, Starlink,
Bimini over the crane deck, upgraded accommodations, leather upholstery, and remote
docking, and full service history.
The seller is now upgrading to a larger yacht from the same Dutch shipyard, which
speaks strongly to his confidence in the builder, platform, and overall ownership
experience
