Yacht Delivery Rates & Costs – Ensuring Quality, Safety, and Professionalism with Delivery Captain

At Delivery Captain, we understand that professional yacht delivery requires experienced and highly qualified crew. When it comes to transporting your prized vessel, you need to rely on skilled professionals who prioritize safety, efficiency, and care.

Why Professional Crew is Essential
The selection of a yacht delivery skipper and crew is crucial. Entrusting your vessel to unqualified or inexperienced individuals can lead to costly mistakes and even risks to your yacht’s safety. As a boat owner, navigating the web for the right person can be overwhelming, with too many unverified options available.

By choosing a reputable yacht delivery company like Delivery Captain, you gain the assurance of working with a trusted team that takes full responsibility from start to finish. We provide peace of mind, following every step of the process professionally while treating your yacht with the utmost care.

Our Expertise and Process
With over 17 years of experience in yacht delivery, Delivery Captain ensures a seamless process tailored to your needs. Our professional team boards the vessel on a specific, agreed-upon date, and the next few days are dedicated to:

Vessel preparation and inspection
Sea trials and route planning
Weather analysis
Provisioning and fueling
Paperwork and documentation checks

Departure typically occurs within three days, weather permitting. Throughout the delivery, you’ll receive regular satellite tracking updates, keeping you informed of your yacht’s position in real-time.

Understanding Yacht Delivery Rates & Costs
It’s important to distinguish between rates and costs:

Rates: A fixed fee charged per nautical mile (NM) by the yacht delivery company. Our standard rates range from £1.99 to £2.50 GBP per NM.
Costs: Additional variable expenses incurred during delivery, such as:
- Fuel consumption and costs
- Food and provisioning
- Crew travel expenses
- Marina fees and canal passages
- Weather-related or repair stops

These factors vary depending on the age of the yacht, fuel efficiency, travel distance, departure and destination points, and the time of year. Off-season deliveries or routes with potential weather challenges may also affect costs.

Why Choose Delivery Captain?
We deliver sailing yachts, sailing catamarans, and motor yachts with the utmost professionalism. Our priority is to keep delivery rates and costs as low as possible without compromising on safety or service quality.

While references can provide some assurance about a skipper’s experience, they’re not always foolproof. Opting for a cheap, unverified option may result in significant losses or even endanger your yacht.

At Delivery Captain, we combine reliability, professionalism, and expertise to provide the highest standard of yacht delivery service. Trust us to deliver your vessel safely and efficiently, giving you the confidence and peace of mind you deserve.
