Yacht Delivery
Service:
We are meticulous
in our attention to detail and your
requirements. We take time to work
with you in order to understand your
expectations when planning a delivery.
On joining a vessel our crews spend
at least 24 hours, even for short
passages, checking all the boat's
systems and including sea trials,
in general preparation before the
delivery of your vessel.
Before the departure, vulnerable areas
of the interior are covered and protected
to save on wear and tear.
During the passage your boat is sailed
conservatively at all times so that
wear and tear is kept to an absolute
minimum.
For safety reasons our minimum crewing
level for all deliveries is three,
although for ocean voyages we insist
on a crew of four to support the Skipper.
All vessels carry a RYA/MCA Yachtmaster
offshore as skipper, RYA yachtmaster
standard as First Mate and RYA day
skipper for crew.
Owners are welcome
to join the crew for all delivery
trips and we can provide support crew
at all levels of experience for an
owner who wishes to skipper a passage
for themselves.
On completion of
all deliveries we complete a detailed
report of the vessel and its systems
so that owners have a complete picture
of their yacht's condition and are
able to immediately put in hand any
repairs or modifications that may
be necessary.
We never forget
how important your boat is to you
and ensure that you are kept informed
of progress at every stage of the
delivery.
Full inventory

equipment, including flares and liferaft
in date, spare navigation equipment
