Do you provide a tracking service while underway?
Yes, we provide a global satelite tracking service so owners and others can follow the delivery of their yacht on the internet. In general every 9-12-3 and 6 o'clock and when a harbour is entered a new position will be issued. The tracking service also has an emergency button.
Can you provide only crew when we do not need a skipper?
Yes, in many cases we have provided only crew where a skipper is not needed. In general however - to guard the safety of the crew - we demand the skipper to be experienced enough for the intented voyage.
Can you also provide shipment of our yacht?
Yes, we have much experience in loading yachts onto ships and we can organise the total shipment of your yacht from the port of departure to the port of destination. Ask us for a quote.
How do I know that I will get top crew and skipper for the intended delivery?
As our background is in offshore sailing instruction we are able to 'cherry-pick' the best crew and skippers from thousands of sailors. Qualifications are not enough. There has been a carefull selection proces, a close guided coaching, and our skippers bring in a mountain of experience and proper attitudes.
Do you provide weather guidance to your skippers?
Yes, when our skippers are underway they will be in touch with our base about the current and coming weather conditions and optimum courses.

What do you require from the yacht that you deliver or from the owner?
- Foremost the yacht should be seaworthy, safe and properly insured before the yacht delivery takes place.
- Design, build, age and maintenance of the yacht next to instruments and inventory on board detemine the seaworthyness of a yacht. It helps to have a list of the latter available.
- Safety is determined by the right quality of all the safetyitems on board like fire extinguishers, safety jackets, lifelines and liferaft. All of these items need to be 'in date'when we start the delivery.
- The insurance of the yacht should be full coverage and adjusted to the total area where the yacht delivery takes place
