Frequently Asked Questions

Our standard delivery includes full passage planning, weather routing, professional crew (Skipper and required team members), safety equipment setup, engine/systems checks before and during the voyage, and regular communication updates. We handle all navigational, logistical, and safety aspects from your departure point to the final destination port.

We use a daily rate because it protects your vessel. A fixed price penalizes us financially for making safe decisions (like waiting out a storm or taking a strategic detour). Our daily rate ensures we are always incentivized to prioritize prudent, safe seamanship over speed, ensuring your yacht arrives in the best possible condition.

The size, complexity, and route of the yacht determine the crew required. As the Delivery Skipper, I select crew members based on their specific experience with the type of vessel (e.g., power catamarans, sailing monohulls) and the particular ocean conditions (e.g., South Pacific, North Atlantic).

We mitigate this risk through rigorous pre-departure checks. If a breakdown does occur, our crew will immediately stabilize the situation and assess necessary repairs. The owner is responsible for the cost of parts and external repairs (e.g., mechanics, haul-outs), but our crew will handle the necessary repairs at sea or coordinate external assistance to resume the delivery as swiftly and safely as possible.

We manage all international requirements, including notifying customs, immigration, and border forces (like ABF in Australia) in advance. We handle the paperwork, submit necessary online forms, and manage the on-site clearance process at both the departure and arrival ports, minimizing inconvenience to you.

Our policy is safety first, always. We utilize advanced weather routing software and satellite communications to actively avoid heavy weather. If unavoidable, we will hold in port or utilize strategic course changes (as detailed in our blog!) to keep the vessel comfortable and safe. We will never push a boat beyond its safe operating limits.

You will receive regular updates—usually once daily, or more frequently during crucial maneuvers (e.g., port approaches, heavy weather). We utilize satellite communication systems to ensure reliable contact, and the updates usually include a log entry, position, weather summary, and expected ETA. We also have a Garmin In reach for 24hr tracking.
