United States
Coastal and ocean
Yacht delivery in the United States
United States work is mostly coastal repositioning and the ocean legs that connect the east coast with the Caribbean and Europe.
Coverage is offered on a passage by passage basis. We confirm what we can crew and operate for a specific vessel and route rather than claiming blanket availability in every state.
Where we operate in the United States
Coastal and ocean corridors covered as delivery water, confirmed per passage.
Northeast

United States operating considerations
Gulf Stream
Current against wind builds a dangerous sea quickly. Crossings are timed on the forecast wind direction relative to the stream, not just on distance.
Seasonal planning
Coastal and offshore passages are scheduled around the recognised seasonal pattern for the corridor, with conservative windows rather than optimistic ones.
Long coastal distances
Seaboard runs cover big mileage with limited all-weather entrances in places, so legs are planned between ports that stay accessible if the forecast changes.
Passage by passage confirmation
Crewing, insurance and operating arrangements are confirmed for the specific vessel and route before we quote.
How Yacht.Delivery manages the passage
US passages are quoted and crewed per route, with the same reporting and documentation as any European delivery.
Professional crews
Passages are run by qualified delivery skippers and crew, with certification supplied before departure.
24/7 operations support
An operations team stands behind the crew for routing, technical and logistics decisions at any hour.
HELM live tracking
Every delivery runs on HELM with live position, daily reports and the full ship's log visible to you.
Transparent expenses
Costs are logged against the delivery as they happen and reconciled at handover. No surprises.
Documentation and handover
Condition report, photographic record and ship's log at departure and arrival. Nothing is verbal.
