Service description

Our aim is a highly professional service where the yacht owner can be 100% confident that his or her vessel is in very safe hands and will be delivered in excellent condition. 

Our service works as follows:

  • In response to your first enquiry we will reply with our availability and an estimate of the cost.

  • If the cost is within your budget we can go to the next phase.

  • At this stage we can firm up your quote which will be on a delivery fee (wages, captains flights and food) + on board expenses (diesel R & M, Port dues etc) basis. 

  • If your vessel is in New Zealand we will then inspect it to assess its' seaworthiness. This inspection takes about a day and costs NZ$250. If we do the delivery this service is free. 

  • You will receive a copy of the ~200 item report, which in itself is very useful for owners whether we deliver the boat or not. Your report may include digital photographs of any areas that require work.

  • If your yacht is not in New Zealand we will send you an assessment report spreadsheet for you to fill in and return. This spreadsheet forms part of the delivery contract.

  • In some situations there will be items needing attention. An estimate of the cost of the work and parts can be provided if requested. We can attend to this work if required.

  • At this stage we will send you a contract for the delivery and any work required by us prior to departure. 

  • Upon signature of our contract we will require a deposit to secure a time slot for your delivery. Payments should be made by direct bank transfer or cash. 

  • We will then prepare your vessel for departure and finalize crew and provisioning etc.

  • The delivery will be undertaken as near as possible to our agreed departure date according to the weather forecast.

  • The boat's position can be reported daily to a shore station or to you directly, so that you can keep up to date with progress. 

  • On arrival your vessel will be cleaned thoroughly and moored safely at the destination port. All clearance procedures will be undertaken.

  • Once your boat is secure in it's destination Port you must make your final payment and your vessel will be handed over you or your designated representative.
