About LAUREL
LAUREL has the proven capability to travel the world in comfort and style. At a length of 73.20 meters Laurel is the largest yacht ever built by Delta. Luxury and quality are obvious from the very first glance. What is unique is the unfailing attention to detail throughout every deck inside and out. From inception, exquisite details were built into the design for the comfort of the owner and guests. Five decks provide abundant space for entertaining and for complete privacy. A guest elevator allows easy access to every deck. The central staircase is accented with a colorful glass sculpture with an undersea motif.
The exceptionally large main salon retains a feeling of intimacy in a traditional club like design. Large windows framed by glossy burl wood provide ever changing views of your destinations. Oversized settees and richly upholstered chairs make this a perfect spot for after dinner drinks and conversation. The large screen television is concealed behind art work and can easily be ready for viewing at the touch of a button.
The formal dining salon is located forward of the main salon and can be closed off for added privacy. Sixteen guests can sit at the high gloss blond wood table. Leaves may be removed to create smaller tables for more intimate parties. Custom storage for table linens, table décor and china allows guests to enjoy a large variety of presentations throughout their stay on board. The professional chef ’s galley is adjacent and equipped with everything to make meals as imaginative as the décor. A built-in dumbwaiter serves every level of the yacht allowing meal service where and when guests prefer.
Enter the main deck Master Suite via the principal’s office. The office allows the principle to keep up with business and the outside world while underway. Port and starboard private balconies off the master bedroom are ideal for a private breakfast or nightcap. The sleeping and sitting area of the master suite are tranquil and exceedingly spacious. The soft hues of rich fabrics complement the natural wood textures and finishes. The entertainment system is hidden when not in use. Two dressing rooms provide space for all of the principle’s wardrobe and personal effects. The bathroom suite is finished in antique travertine and gold leaf with his and her sinks and mirrors, a separate toilet room and double shower room.
The bridge deck of Laurel has a welcoming, casual atmosphere offering excellent views. The aft deck has copious seating for relaxation and sunning. The aft deck dining table easily accommodates 16 guests. Under the fixed cover is a large shaded area for dining and conversation. Step through the double doors to the sky lounge, a favorite spot for breakfast. A separate library and media room is a cozy spot for reading, games or watching movies.
LAUREL's versatile top deck is outfitted for outdoor and indoor fun. Large sunpads and chaise lounges are located aft on the deck. Just forward is the Jacuzzi. An enclosed glass shower is perfect for cooling down after a workout in the well-equipped gym located in the center of the sun deck. The observation lounge forward can be used as a sitting room with card table or as a beautiful setting for an intimate dinner. The lounge area with wet bar forward is protected by removable sun sails.
Six guest cabins are located on the lower deck and offer a variety of configurations depending on guest requirements. The four king suites have bathrooms with twin sinks and showers en suite, writing desk and arm chairs. The two queen suites each have bathtubs and twin sinks. One is easy to set up as a children’s room with a single bed + pullman bed in addition to the queen.
