ROCHADE Doesn’t Care About Clout—She’s Built for the Buyer Who Gets It
There’s a reason you haven’t heard a lot of noise about ROCHADE lately—and that’s exactly why she’s worth your time. This 156-foot Delta Marine isn’t wrapped in PR buzz or trying to go viral on Instagram. She’s sitting quietly on the market, looking dead serious. Built in 2011, overhauled from the inside out in 2022, and still leaving most newer boats in her wake when it comes to practical capability.
The market’s currently obsessed with bigger, flashier, trendier. Meanwhile, ROCHADE is sitting on twin MTU 4000s that push her to 21 knots, a cruising range of nearly 4,000 nautical miles, and an ultra-shallow 8’2” draft that lets her go where most 50m yachts simply can’t. This is freedom disguised as understatement. It’s also what sets her apart.
Her bones are solid Delta. Her systems are fresh—new Northern Lights gens installed in late 2023, full AV/IT overhaul with Apple TVs, iPad integration, a rebuilt bridge, Starlink, and a technical suite that includes WASSP sonar, SeaClean soot filtration, and ECDIS. Translation: this yacht isn’t just sitting pretty. She’s wired to move.
Guest layout is tight—five cabins for 12 guests, with a full-beam master, three VIPs, and a twin with Pullmans. No wasted space, no showboat gimmicks. The interior is modern but not trying too hard, and the beam—28 feet—gives the salon and staterooms the kind of breathing room that’s hard to fake. She feels light without being sterile, and luxe without being loud.
Then there’s the sundeck: hot tub, sunpads, toy storage, al fresco dining. No gimmicks, just the kind of setup you want if you actually plan to use the boat instead of just chartering it out for Instagram clout. If you’re someone who likes the idea of disappearing down-island, anchoring somewhere quiet, and actually using your yacht instead of babysitting it—ROCHADE should be on your list.
She’s not cheap, and she’s not trying to be. But for the buyer who wants performance and pedigree without the nonsense, she’s one of the strongest options on the market. The fact that she’s not already sold says more about the industry than it does about the boat.
Everyone’s chasing buzz. Real buyers should be chasing builds like this. Because by the time this listing starts getting the attention it deserves, it’ll already be gone—and someone else will be cruising comfortably, silently, and several steps ahead.
