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

Vessel Highlights & Notable Features
The ALM Delfino 64 Raised Pilothouse is described by Jachtbouw De Alm as a
Werner Yacht design with classic lines, modern details, cherry wood interior joinery, a large salon with open galley, raised pilothouse, three guest cabins plus full-beam
master, two bathrooms, engine room, and aft lazarette/crew cabin.
Construction details from the builder include a steel multi-hull with 8mm
underwater plating, 6mm side plating above the waterline, and a 5mm seawater-
resistant aluminum superstructure. The builder also notes a John Deere 13-liter 425 HP engine, dry exhaust routed to the flybridge chimney, hydraulic Side-Power bow/stern thrusters, hydraulic anchor winch, SP67 Vector fin stabilizers, Simrad navigation, Victron lithium power, and a WhisperPower generator.
The exterior layout is built around safe movement, serious cruising, and multiple usable outdoor zones. High bulwarks, wide walkaround side decks, and a Portuguese bridge reinforce the vessel’s offshore intentions while remaining practical for owner-operators.
Exterior highlights include:
This is a yacht designed to be used, not just shown. The deck layout supports the line handling, docking, anchoring, tender launch, and extended time aboard.
The flybridge delivers both lifestyle and operational value. It includes a true secondary helm station with Simrad autopilot control, stainless steering wheel, throttle controls, communications handset, and excellent visibility.
Flybridge features include:
The Steelhead Marine ES1000 crane is a major cruising feature, allowing efficient tender launch and retrieval. This system supports the overall explorer concept by making anchoring, shore access, and remote cruising significantly easier.
The raised pilothouse is one of the strongest areas of the yacht. It is a true command center, not merely an interior helm. ALM describes the wheelhouse as having multiple displays, radar, chartploUer, cameras, autopilot, fishfinder, satellite compass, two steering chairs, sofa seating, a captain’s bed, side doors, and direct stairs to the flybridge.
Observed/documented pilothouse features include:
The handheld remote docking system is an important owner-operator feature, giving the operator control of engine/thruster functions while moving around the vessel during close-quarters maneuvering.
The salon offers a warm, open, comfortable main living area with classic Dutch joinery and a modern social layout. The space benefits from large windows, natural light, upgraded leather upholstery, and a practical connection to the galley.
Salon features include:
The salon feels residential and inviting, which is critical for a yacht intended for serious time aboard.
The open galley is designed as a true liveaboard galley, not a compact day-use space. It sits within the main social area and supports long-range cruising with quality European appliances and practical counter space.
Galley equipment includes:
This layout works well for owner use, family cruising, or entertaining, while the
The appliance package supports being extended for an extended time away from the dock.
The Delfino 64 layout is designed around a full-beam master, guest accommodations forward, a shared guest head, and an aft lazarette/crew cabin. ALM notes a full-beam master, guest cabins, two bathrooms, an engine room, and a lazerette/crew cabin. This vessel has been enhanced to improve livability, comfort, and broader market appeal.
Accommodation highlights include:
The VIP stateroom has been upgraded from a more utilitarian forward arrangement into a true guest suite. The owner converted the forward cabin from two double bunks into a king VIP arrangement, making the yacht more appealing to couples, families, and extended cruising guests.
VIP features include:
This is a major upgrade from a traditional bunk-forward layout and makes the
accommodations far more marketable.
The bunk room offers flexible sleeping capacity for family, guests, children, or crew
overflow.
Bunk cabin features include:
This space adds practical sleeping capacity without compromising the VIP or master accommodations.
The guest head serves the VIP and bunk staterooms and is finished in a clean, modern European style.
Guest head features include:
The separate shower is a meaningful advantage over wet-head layouts often found in this size range.
The aft cabin functions as a flexible crew cabin, utility room, storage room, and systems area. For a serious cruising yacht, this space is highly valuable.
Crew/utility area features include:
This area supports longer trips, crewed operation, owner-operator storage needs, and liveaboard practicality.
The onboard laundry setup adds significant cruising independence.
Laundry features:
For long-range cruising buyers, laundry onboard is a practical and valuable feature.
The engine room is a major selling point. It is systems-rich, well-equipped, and aligned with the yacht’s long-range mission.
Main mechanical highlights include:
The builder identifies the Delfino 64 with a John Deere 13-liter 425 HP engine, a hydraulic Side-Power installation, stabilizers, a Victron electrical installation, and a 10kW WhisperPower generator.
Main engine details:
The John Deere package is a major advantage for buyers focused on reliability,
serviceability, and efficient displacement cruising.
The vessel is equipped with a WhisperPower generator system and Victron-based power management.
Generator/power equipment includes:
The owner noted that the yacht can lie at anchor on batteries for approximately 1.5 days without air-conditioning demand, and the Victron remote monitoring system can automatically command generator charging when lithium battery levels drop to approximately 10%.
Electrical system highlights:
This electrical setup is one of the defining upgrades of the yacht and supports the entire “modern explorer” positioning.
The hydraulic system is another key feature. The vessel includes a central labeled
hydraulic manifold for major deck and maneuvering systems.
Hydraulic systems include:
This gives the yacht exceptional maneuverability for her size and mission profile.
The builder lists a Side-Power stabilizing system with SP67 Vector fins for enhanced comfort offshore.
Stabilization highlights:
The vessel is equipped with an Ocean-Spring Watermakers system.
Watermaker features:
A watermaker is a major feature for the Bahamas, the Caribbean, remote cruising, and liveaboard buyers.
The yacht is equipped for a wide range of cruising climates. Climate and heating features:
This is important because the vessel was originally suited to Northern European /
Canadian cruising conditions and then enhanced for broader use, including warmer
climates.
Fuel system highlights:
Separ filtration is a respected system and a strong confidence builder for serious cruising buyers.
The vessel includes an upgraded Simrad electronics package and multiple control
interfaces.
Electronics highlights:
The builder’s Delfino 64 page notes three 19” touch screens, two radars, chart plotter, cameras, autopilot, fishfinder, satellite compass, and related equipment
Tender package highlights:
This setup is highly practical for remote anchorages, cruising families, and owner-
operators.
The current owner’s upgrades are a major part of this yacht’s story and should be
emphasized heavily in MLS, email, social, and walkthrough video.
Reported owner upgrades include:
The positioning is simple: this is an already capable Dutch steel explorer that was
significantly enhanced to make it easier to own, easier to operate, and more comfortable in varied climates, and more appealing to a broader buyer audience.
