Is my yacht insured during delivery?
Yes. The yacht must be fully insured by the owner for the duration of the passage. We’re happy to coordinate with your insurer if needed.
How is payment made?
In order to schedule a delivery we require an initial deposit of 20% along with a signed contract. A further 40% of the estimated delivery fee plus an expenses budget is required 30 days before the proposed delivery date. The balance of the delivery plus any outstanding expenses is due immediately on completion of the delivery.
Are there additional costs for delays?
Additional delay days will be charged if for reasons outside of the skippers’ control the journey cannot continue. For example, if the vessel is not able to sail due to its condition or seaworthiness. We do not charge for delays caused by the weather.
Does my boat need to be ready for the delivery?
Your boat should be seaworthy and suitable for the intended voyage. Upon arrival the skipper will do a complete inspection of your boat. Any issues that will affect the departure will be addressed. All safety equipment should be on board and in date.
