Private Yacht Owners

Yacht Delivery for Private Yacht Owners

We deliver yachts for private owners who require a professional, low-risk solution.

Whether moving a newly purchased yacht, repositioning seasonally, or planning a longer passage, our role is to take responsibility for the delivery and reduce uncertainty.

Useful next steps: owner guidance on insurance and flagging, delivery case studies and how we price a delivery.

Delivery Oversight & Visibility

Each owner delivery includes access to our delivery management system.

This provides:

  • Live or periodic position tracking, depending on voyage and connectivity
  • Delivery status and key milestones
  • Expense reporting with supporting documentation
  • Photographic updates during the passage
  • Access to delivery documents and handover records

This allows owners to maintain visibility without being involved in day-to-day operational decisions.

Owner Feedback

BB
"Yacht.Delivery came recommended to me by the previous owner of my boat. I had already contacted other captains but what stood out straight away was their prompt replies and willingness to talk on the phone about my needs and concerns. Their professionalism throughout the delivery was impeccable, keeping me informed of progress and any situations that arose, all of which were dealt with without drama and keeping an eye on the purse strings. Yacht.Delivery delivered my pride and joy safe and sound. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone."

"Daniel stepped in at short notice and arranged delivery of our yacht from Spain to Greece. The Skipper experienced challenging weather & carried out boat maintenance in addition to the delivery. Daniel's communication was excellent, definitely recommend Daniel and his company."

"We used Yacht.Delivery for the delivery of our yacht from France to Antigua and the whole process was straightforward. Communication was clear from the start and we always knew what was happening. The boat arrived in good condition and on schedule and the handover was simple. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again."
