Exhilaration that defies the elegance of its lines.

Like every DALE before it, the 23 high speed launch has

been designed with the respect for the sea that comes from

generations of experience.

For over two decades the names of DALE and the legendary Nelson

hulls have been inextricably linked – a heritage that gives our boats a

combination of superlative build, effortless performance, magnificent

ride and class-leading handling.

Such elegant characteristics are always captured in the styling of our

boats, yet with a V6 265hp lightweight turbo-diesel engine giving a

45 knot top-speed, electric acceleration and extremes-of-g cornering

abilities the new DALE 23 brings a level of exhilaration that delights

in defying the way it looks!‘45 knots and electric acceleration’

Total reassurance. Pure enjoyment.

From building the lightweight carbon / epoxy

composite hull to applying the name, a DALE is

entirely created by our own craftsmen. Engineering

installations are meticulous. Finishes are honed until

we can perfect them no more.

There is no compromise.

Every stage of the build is monitored to the most

exacting standards to give you the dependability and

total reassurance to relax and immerse yourself in the

pure enjoyment of boating.

The perfect boat from dawn till dusk.

Accomplished day cruiser.Thrilling sports boat. Chic superyacht tender.

With its combination of secure sea-keeping, intoxicating handling, incredible

performance and elegant looks the DALE 23 can fulfil any role you ask of it.

A trip to a far off island in a steep morning sea, with a magnificent ride

that will keep your passengers happy for mile after mile after mile –

the skipper can be assured that even with a full load and a worsening sea,

the Nelson heritage means the boat has ample abilities in reserve.

An afternoon of watersports – with eight guests onboard the electric

acceleration still matches any sports boat for pull-out, and the solid hull

provides a predictable wake.

Or if you want to just go for a ‘blast’ and revel in the water-gripping

handling, well, why not – this is a boat that brings a smile to your face!

And in the evening, a refined way to ferry friends to a smart jetty where the

timeless style announces your arrival in a way that no other tender could.

The first step to owning a DALE 23.

This brochure talks of superlative build quality, assured

sea-keeping, fantastic handling and electric performance.

However, we’re the first to accept that there are other

builders who will say the same thing, so the only way to

appreciate the full depth of the DALE quality and the full

extent of this boat’s abilities is to experience it for yourself.

We’d be delighted to offer you a no-obligation viewing

or sea-trial.

The first step is to talk to us – we’re happy to answer

anything you’d like to know.

After sales undying attention.

To say we offer after sales care, would be a disservice

to the people who will look after you. Perhaps we

would be better to say “after sales undying attention”.

Your boat’s original build team will be assigned to

carry out all your maintenance and servicing.

This approach builds an unrivalled bank of knowledge

and a commitment to ensuring that, for the boat’s

entire lifetime, your DALE is everything it was on the

day it was launched.

And we’re always available whenever you want to call

on us for help and advice.
