yacht deliveries with yachtskipper.eu
We move yachts. Professionally, with a handpicked team. Whether you want to have a 30m vessel or a 30 foot yacht delivered – we will provide a solution. First and foremost, we are not a brokerage platform, but professionals who complete orders with heart and expertise.
On its own keel:
Sailing yachts are all too often transported as deck cargo or by truck. We think that ships should be moved in the way they were built for – on the water. We do. Material- and resource-saving and at fair conditions. Come with us on a passage and get to know a new area!
How to run yachtdeliveries with us?
Whether you want to relocate your family yacht or buy a used boat. We advise you as a network and consult with you about when the passage could be made. Once all points are clarified, we put together the crew, organize the travel dates and look for a suitable weather window. Then the yacht can set sail. The support from the office remains, for example, when it comes to weather routing, spare parts or crew changes. As a rule, we sail through longer distances. If the weather does not permit, we look for a port, but this is a “harbour day” and is not booked as a normal working day for us.
Our goal is to move your yacht quickly and safely to its port of destination. During the yacht delivery you have a crew and skipper guarantee. Once the ship has arrived, you can expect us to provide complete documentation, a clean, maintained ship and correct invoicing. These procedures have proven themselves over the past years, both with private and industry customers. We will gladly send you our references.
