Service 01
Your yacht reaches her destination without you having to be aboard
A delivery passage is more than moving a boat from A to B: it needs a pre-departure inspection, a weather window, a passage plan and a proper handover on arrival.
- Coverage
- Aegean · Med · Marmara
- Crew
- Certificated master and crew
- Reporting
- Daily position report
01Approach
The passage begins before she leaves the berth
When a delivery enquiry comes in, the first thing we do is look at the boat, not quote a date. Engine hours, fuel and water capacity, battery condition, rig and sails, the expiry dates on the liferaft and extinguishers — these are what set the duration and the risk.
Then the route and weather window are worked out. An afternoon breeze building in the Aegean and a calm Mediterranean summer do not tolerate the same plan; ports of refuge and alternative stops are fixed before departure.
Position and status are reported daily during the passage. On arrival the boat is handed over with a delivery note and any technical observations picked up along the way.
02Process
Five steps from enquiry to handover
- 01
Vessel inspection
Machinery, rig, electrics, safety equipment and certificate validity are checked on site, and any shortfalls reported in writing.
- 02
Route and schedule
Route, daily distances, fuelling stops and ports of refuge are set, and a realistic arrival window is given.
- 03
Crew and paperwork
A master and crew suited to the passage are assigned, and insurance, port clearance and permits are prepared.
- 04
Weather window and departure
Forecasts are monitored and departure is taken when the window is right. If it is not, we wait; no one sails to protect a calendar.
- 05
Handover and report
Mooring, cleaning and a signed delivery note on arrival, plus a separate note of anything technical observed on passage.
03Vessel types
The boats we deliver
Motor yacht
Flybridge and sedan types. Engine hours, consumption and fuelling stops shape the plan.
Sailing yacht
Sloops and ketches. Wind window, sail condition and rig maintenance come first.
Catamaran
Wide-beam boats. Berth availability is confirmed before arrival.
Gulet
Timber boats. Deck and hull care and crew needs are planned separately.

What we need from you
With these in hand we can give a realistic duration and price; without them any figure is a guess.
- The boat
- Make, model, length and year of build.
- Route
- Departure and arrival port or marina.
- Dates
- Planned departure and any flexibility.
- Technical condition
- Last service, any known faults or limitations; say so if she has been laid up for a while.
- Insurance
- Whether the existing policy covers a delivery passage.
Let us settle insurance up front
Most yacht policies either exclude delivery passages or attach conditions to them: skipper qualification, crew numbers, season and distance limits. Going through your policy together before departure removes most of what would otherwise surface later.
