Title: Epic Voyage: Delivering the Beneteau Oceanis 39 from Croatia to Qatar
Introduction: In October 2018, the Delivery Captain team embarked on an unforgettable transcontinental yacht delivery, expertly transporting a Beneteau Oceanis 39 from Split, Croatia, to Doha, Qatar. This expedition covered thousands of nautical miles, crossing diverse seas and presenting numerous challenges, all while highlighting our expertise in global yacht delivery services.
Preparation in Split, Croatia: The yacht delivery journey began with a comprehensive inspection of the Beneteau Oceanis 39 in Split, Croatia. Our team performed rigorous safety checks, evaluated all essential equipment, and meticulously handled provisioning to ensure the vessel was fully prepared for the long-distance voyage ahead.
Challenges in the Aegean Sea: Shortly after setting sail, the crew encountered strong winds while crossing the Aegean Sea, leading to a torn Genoa sail. Upon arrival in Rhodes, the local sailmaker confirmed that a full sail replacement was necessary. With the owner’s approval, a brand-new Genoa was sourced and installed within a week, allowing us to continue our journey. However, gale-force winds further delayed our departure. Despite these challenges, the team’s focus on safety and yacht care never wavered.
