Yacht Delivery
We will take the utmost care in the delivery of your vessel. From your initial contact with us through to the final report, we are on hand 7 days a week to guide you through the delivery process. Our team of captains are meticulous to detail and will take every step to ensure your boat arrives in the best of condition.

We can assist you on delivery of your own boat. You may be planning your first long passage and want someone to hold your hand for the first few days, or just struggling to find experienced crew. We can also advise on safety equipment, and arrange for the hire or purchase of life rafts, EPIRBS and life jackets etc.

Delivery Rates
Vessels and itineraries vary considerably and therefore it is not practical to set one rate for yacht delivery.

We generally contract deliveries for an all inclusive delivery service fee based upon a number of factors including:

• Route and season proposed - vessel speed
• Equipment
• Condition
• Number of crew required

The delivery service fee covers crew wages, transportation and provisions for the duration of the delivery.

Initial contact from owner leads to research of vessel by West Coast Yacht Delivery and quotation offered, dependant on various considerations, e.g. length of voyage, if an autopilot is fitted etc.

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.
