Who actually does the delivery?

I do all of my own delivery's. This is not a captains pool, all work is performed by myself and hand picked crew.

How do I pay for having my vessel delivered?

All of the delivery expenses must be paid in advance (many owners prefer to provide a credit card rather than paying expenses in advance) 50% of estimated fees must be deposited prior to departure of vessel. The balance is due when the vessel reaches it's destination. The owner or the owners agent should be on hand to make a final payment. Other arrangements may be made in advance if necessary.

How are delays handled?

Delays for weather are billed at a reduced rate, delays caused by mechanical failure are handled individually. Minor mechanical failure can often be handled while underway when tools and needed parts are on hand. There is no extra charge for this. Should a major failure occur we will head to the nearest port and obtain approval from you before any work is performed. Weather delays that are short in duration there is no charge for (24hrs or less) often weather can be routed around, however in the event of a major weather system where the safety of the crew and vessel are paramount, there is a reduced charge for delays.
