We can wrap and pack you yacht for transit to and requirements that you specify.

We can organize the hoisting of your vessel for anti-fouling and below hull pre-voyage checks if necessary. However, it might be better for your local yard to conduct this operation for you. We charge at a day rate for work required on the hard.

 

When you contract us for a yacht delivery we include one day on site (24 hours) in the price. Overnight accommodation for the skipper and crew will be required. normally this is on the vessel designated for delivery.

Additionally we ensure that the yacht is in a presentable state before the crew leaves the vessel at the designated port. A separate clause is included in the contract to deal with unforeseeable damage.
