Thank you, for choosing
the fastest growing yacht delivery service on the East Coast. Our
goal is to "set the standard" for all Motor and Sailing yacht
deliveries in North America and the World Wide. We tailor each
delivery directly to our client's needs. Our objectives ensure that
measures put into place are double checked to comply with our
"standards", to insure the safety and protection of the vessel and
the crew.
It is our goal to eliminate
all of your worries and concerns for the
delivery of your vessel. Our professional Captains have taken yachts
all over the world, Culminating miles of experience in an amazingly
wide variety of vessels. Our delivery teams are experienced, well
qualified, and take a professional pride in their work by taking the
time to pay attention to details that will ensure a smooth and
trouble free passage to any port in the world.
We
inspect every yacht thoroughly prior to committing to a delivery
trip. Knowing the sea has no respect for the ill prepared, we want
to take every step possible to insure a safe voyage for our mutual
benefit. As part of our Safety First &
Always program we bring with us a wide variety of safety
gear, even though many of the items are redundant on a well equipped
vessel.
There is,
of course, no extra charge for the thousands we have invested to
insure your complete satisfaction. This is the only way
we do business. You may also rest
assured that we do not take unsafe shortcuts or tempt poor weather
to save an hour or a day. You should expect delivery of a clean
undamaged boat and we rather enjoy having the satisfaction of
another delivery well done.
The horror
stories of incomplete deliveries, a boat abandoned miles from its
destination or the boat delivered in a thoroughly unkempt condition,
circulate in maritime circles everywhere. Such a situation is simply
intolerable . We keep our commitments, period!
Some owners
are tempted to hire a friend or relative to conduct a delivery. In
this case, most insurers will not cover you or the boat unless
the selectee is USCG licensed. The Coast Guard defines "Hiring" as being
any contribution toward defraying the trip expense such as food,
fuel, docking/mooring fees, etc. The insurers take this position
because a USCG Captain's license requires nearly a thousand
documented days in offshore waters, several detailed examinations,
an FBI background check, random drug testing, and a complete
physical exam. One should ponder the reaction of their insurer to a
damage or liability claim arising while their yacht was hundreds of
miles from its homeport, captained by an unlicensed person.
Prior to the delivery, you should confirm
with your insurer that you and the vessel are fully covered while
under our command. Some carriers require a minimum number of crew
and/or restricted hours of operation. We can work with you and your
carrier to resolve problems of this nature. We will need written
confirmation that your insurance is in full force for the duration
of the voyage. This document, along with your boat registration or
documentation papers, must be on board during the trip
