Delivery Services Provided

• A USCG licensed captain and crew, qualified to make the kind of delivery required. We will arrange for their transportation as well and any customs requirements.
• The appropriate navigation equipment (GPS, laptops etc) as well as appropriate charts.
• Provision the yacht for the journey both in terms of food and water for the crew as well as appropriate fuel for the yacht.
• Provide a pre-departure inspection of the vessel to ensure that it is safe. During the delivery we will keep a log and assess the vessels operation and note any issues that need to be addressed when the vessel arrives.
• Complete all clearances, customs and port documents as required by the various agencies.

Unexpected Delays on the Delivery

There are two types of delays that may occur. The first is weather delays which may make it unsafe to proceed. The second is mechanical delays. We are often able to perform small mechanical repair underway, but occasionally the vessel may encounter mechanical problems that make it unsafe to proceed. In this case we will enter the nearest port and notify the owner.

In either of these cases you will not be charged for small delays, but excessive delays beyond our control will increase the cost of the delivery.

Vessel Condition

The vessel MUST be in sea worthy condition before it is moved. This means that it must have all the USCG safety equipment. Also the various systems of the boat must be in good working order such as rigging, engine, septic, water, fuel etc. We can help you to determine this before the delivery date actually arrives. If a current marine survey is available we would appreciate having a copy. This will help us determine which systems to pay closer attention to .

Delivery Cost

The cost depends on the following factors and you are given a FREE estimate. Ballpark cost is around $2.00 - 3.50 per mile. We can also quote you a fixed rate, if you prefer. You are responsible for vessel expenses and incurred costs (transportation, food, fuel etc.)

• Type of vessel (sail or power) and speed
• Weather prediction for trip
• Duration of trip and crew requirements
• Time of year - it is easier to go down the coast of California than up, especially in winter .

The payment terms require that all expenses be advanced before the delivery is undertaken. The remainder of the payment is due when the delivery is complete or within an acceptable period.
