MARLINDA is now available to explore on video. Denison broker Aleks Taldykin has released a full walkthrough of this 132-foot Delta Marine superyacht asking $6,975,000, located in Seattle, Washington: a 1989 build from one of America’s most respected custom yacht builders, with both main engines recently rebuilt to zero hours and over two decades of committed single-owner stewardship behind her.
Built by Delta Marine in Seattle with a beautifully crafted mahogany interior and a layout designed for private extended cruising, MARLINDA measures 132 feet with a 26-foot beam and carries 12,800 gallons of fuel, supporting a range of more than 4,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. Twin CAT 3412 DITA engines (671hp each) push her to 15 knots, with the starboard rebuilt March 2024 (471 hours) and the port rebuilt May 2025 (158 hours). She has spent more than a decade laid up in fresh water at Lake Union, a meaningful advantage for hull condition on a fiberglass vessel of her age. The 2021–2026 upgrade program also included the starboard John Deere 65kW generator rebuilt to zero hours (February 2026), new DEIF power distribution panels, rebuilt rudder tables and cylinders, new BlueWater Legend watermakers, full LED conversion, a plumbed-in SpotZero system, hull sandblasted and repainted, stabilizer bearings and seals, and new batteries throughout.
The walkthrough covers the full yacht: the main salon with coffered ceilings, mahogany shutters, marble-top bar, and quad-folding doors to the enclosed California deck; the formal dining room seating eight through beveled French doors with a pneumatic butler door to the galley; a commercial galley with Miele ovens and dishwasher, Traulsen refrigerator, and Manitowoc ice maker; the main deck library with queen fold-out sofa and day head, convertible to an on-deck owner’s suite; the open wheelhouse with dual Stidd helm chairs, full Furuno and BridgeCommand navigation suite, and adjacent sky lounge with bar; the flybridge with dual docking stations and Coyote BBQ; the boat deck with dual 4,500-pound cranes (upgraded January 2026); and below deck, the full-beam master suite with centerline king, soaking tub, marble shower, and two cedar walk-in closets, plus port and starboard guest staterooms and crew quarters with a dedicated Miele laundry room.
LLC-owned, turnkey, fully fueled, and Alaska-ready at delivery, MARLINDA is a rare documented opportunity in the 130-foot American motor yacht segment where the freshwater history, rebuilt mechanical foundation, and irreplaceable mahogany craftsmanship combine at a price well below European comparables. Aleks Taldykin is a Los Angeles native with a USCG 3,000GT Oceans Masters License, over 70,000 nautical miles logged captaining vessels up to 185 feet, and experience in large motor yacht sales at Denison since 2019.

Fuel capacity is 12,800 gallons, freshwater capacity is 2,500 gallons, and holding is 580 gallons. She cruises at 12 knots with a top speed of 15 knots and a range of more than 4,000 nautical miles. She accommodates guests across 3 staterooms and 5 heads, with crew quarters for a captain and additional crew.
MARLINDA is powered by twin Caterpillar 3412 DITA main engines producing 671 horsepower each. The starboard engine was rebuilt in March 2024 and currently shows 471 hours. The port engine was rebuilt in May 2025 and currently shows 158 hours. Both engines are effectively new. The port John Deere 65kW generator received a top-end rebuild in 2018 and the starboard generator was fully rebuilt to zero hours in February 2026. Naiad Marine Roll Stabilizer 510 fin stabilizers are also fitted.
Between 2021 and 2026, MARLINDA received both main engines rebuilt to zero hours, the starboard generator rebuilt to zero hours (2/2026), new DEIF power distribution panels with touch screen displays, rebuilt rudder tables and cylinders, new BlueWater Legend watermakers with touch screens (2022), full LED conversion throughout, a plumbed-in SpotZero reverse osmosis system (2022), an additional 480V isolation transformer, all new batteries, upgraded wheelhouse navigation screens, new AC thermostats, replaced air handlers in the California deck, engine room, crew lounge, salon, and pilothouse, a new third AC compressor, hull sandblasted to fiberglass and re-faired and painted, bottom paint, stabilizer bearing and seal replacement, new davit pump with lines and fluid (1/2026), and wireless anchor windlass remotes.
MARLINDA accommodates guests across 3 staterooms and 5 heads. The full-beam master suite below deck features a centerline king berth, two cedar walk-in closets, a centerline soaking tub, marble shower, and two marble vanities with Phylrich gold and onyx fixtures. The port and starboard guest staterooms each feature twin berths, cedar closets, and en-suite marble shower heads. The library on the main deck forward, fitted with a queen fold-out sofa bed and day head, can also be configured as an on-deck owner’s suite.
Delta Marine is one of the most respected American custom motor yacht builders, known for fiberglass construction built to last and hand-crafted mahogany interiors that define a specific era of American yachting excellence. MARLINDA reflects that heritage throughout: coffered ceilings, quad-folding high-gloss mahogany doors, beveled French doors to the dining room, mahogany shutters and custom built-in cabinetry, and Phylrich gold and onyx fixtures in the master head. This level of craftsmanship cannot be replicated at any price in a new build. She was designed for private, extended cruising rather than charter operations, and her interior reflects an owner-focused sensibility throughout.
MARLINDA’s wheelhouse carries a full Furuno navigation suite including dual radar (FAR-2115 and FAR-2117), Furuno sonar CH-270, Furuno AIS FA-150 transponder, Furuno SAT compass SC70, Furuno integrated heading sensor PG-500, dual Furuno DGPS GP39 units, and a Furuno FAX-30 facsimile receiver. Bridge displays include four 19-inch and seven 24-inch BridgeCommand touchscreen displays. A ComNav 2007 autopilot, three ICOM IC-M504 VHF radios, five B&G H3000 displays, ABT-Trac thruster control, Naiad Multisea II stabilizer control, Nobeltec TimeZero Navigator V5 with RosePoint backup, Starlink Performance Gen2 antenna, KVH HD7 Tracvision (x2), Sailor 600 VSAT, and a Peplink cellular router with Aruba Wi-Fi network are also fitted.
MARLINDA carries 12,800 gallons of fuel, which supports an operating range of more than 4,000 nautical miles at her 12-knot cruising speed. This makes her genuinely capable of extended offshore passages and full Alaskan seasons without significant fuel constraints. She is offered turnkey and fully fueled, and the listing broker describes her as immediately ready for an Alaskan season at time of delivery.
MARLINDA has spent more than a decade laid up in fresh water during the off-season at Lake Union in Seattle. Fresh water does not support the marine growth, osmosis, and hull degradation associated with saltwater storage, which significantly extends fiberglass hull life and reduces the ongoing maintenance burden associated with underwater gear. For a 1989 vessel, this storage history is a meaningful asset that a pre-purchase survey will reflect.
