Yacht Builders

Yacht Delivery Services for Builders

We work with yacht builders to deliver new vessels in a manner that reflects the quality of the build.

New build yacht delivery is the last visible stage of construction and commissioning, and the first time an owner sees the vessel under way. We collect yachts directly from shipyards, work to your handover and sea trial schedule, and run the passage with paid professional crew rather than volunteers.

Factory-to-owner deliveries, cargo load-on supervision and yacht show repositioning are all managed through HELM, with live tracking, tracked running costs and a documented handover pack at the end of every voyage.

New Build Delivery

We support builders with:

Factory to handover port deliveries
Owner destination deliveries
Demonstration and positioning voyages
Post-commissioning transfers
International and offshore passages

Deliveries are aligned with build schedules and handover requirements.

Operational Approach

Structured planning:Routes, timing, and weather windows are assessed conservatively.
Certified crews:MCA Master 200 GT / RYA Yachtmaster Ocean or Offshore skippers with full STCW compliance and Yacht.Delivery proprietary training.
Brand protection:We operate with restraint, clear decision-making, and professional presentation at handover.

Cargo Load-On & Load-Off

Beyond standard yacht delivery, we coordinate cargo operations for new builds and refit projects. Our crews manage load-on and load-off procedures with care and precision.

We work with established yacht transport operators to ensure seamless coordination throughout the shipping process.

Yacht transport vessel load-on supervision
Load-off coordination at destination ports
Cradle positioning and securing oversight
Pre and post-transport condition documentation
Liaison with Load Masters and shore teams
Sea fastening and deck operations liaison (managed by the Load Master)

Ideal for builders shipping yachts internationally via cargo vessel. See our dedicated Cargo page for more detail.

Yacht Show Repositioning

Show vessels need to arrive on time and in presentation condition. We reposition builder yachts between the major international shows, working around your stand build and marketing calendar.

Monaco, Cannes, Fort Lauderdale, Boot Düsseldorf, Dubai and more. See the full show circuit and repositioning service
