Worry-free yacht delivery, by sea or by land.

Captain David works on the yachts he manages while underway, and has a vast network of trusted boatyards to solve for any unexpected issues.

Yacht delivery or relocation by sea:

We offer a range of yacht delivery or relocation services, tailored to fit your needs and exceed your expectations.

After a purchase: One-time trip from point of purchase to the yachts' home port. 

Seasonal relocation:  North - South - North  trips

Repair relocations: We deliver the vessel to the desired factory or repair facility, and can return the yacht to its home port upon completion of service.

Captaining with owners: We’ll accompany you on your yacht, teaching you the systems and providing real-time instruction while underway. You’ll learn about your vessel, the best ports for food, fuel, and accommodations, and trustworthy repair facilities should something happen. The outcome of this service is that you’ll have the confidence to make the trip on your own. 

Vacation or destination delivery: If you don’t have time in your busy schedule to get your yacht to where you’ll be vacationing, we can do it for you. When vacation is over, we can return your yacht to its home harbor. 

Time and expense options:

Fast but not cheap - up to 250 NM/day: Everything depends on your vessel. If you own fast boat and want it delivered within a tight timeframe, we can typically move it from New England to south Florida in 4-5 days. My services are not costly when compared to the fuel consumed with this option. 

Cheap but not fast - up to 170 NM/day: This is our cost-effective service, where we go slower to conserve fuel. This option may double the trip time but can cut the fuel costs in half. A trip from New England to south Florida is typically completed within 6-8 days. 

The sundown option - up to 150 NM/day: With this option, we leave in the morning, dock for dinner, stopping at the preferred ports along the way. The trip from New England to south Florida usually takes 8-12 days.

The near-shore option - under 100 NM/day: This service uses the intracoastal waterways for the majority of the trip. This delivery option can take up to 2 weeks from New England to south Florida.


Yacht delivery or relocation over the road:

Trailered delivery is available for vessels under 35’.

After a purchase: We load and tow your boat from point of purchase to its home port. 

Short haul for minor repairs: We pull your boat out of the water for a quick repair, and load it back in as soon as the work has been completed.

Repair facility delivery: This is typically a round-trip service where we load and trailer your vessel to and from the chosen repair facility.

Storage delivery: If you store your boat for the winter, we can haul it out of the water and deliver it safely to your storage yard of choice. 

YACHT RELOCATION

We can captain your vessel on your behalf, or relocate by trailer if it’s within our size requirements.
