The service of yacht delivery
But how does a yacht delivery service actually make relocations easy for you? The company providing the yacht delivery service provides a captain and if necessary a crew. The yacht delivery service then takes care of everything to get your boat from one port to another. Routing, enroute maintenance, documentation and regular communications will all be performed by the yacht delivery service. Once the vessel arrives, the yacht delivery service provides a post-delivery report and hands the vessel over to you.
Yacht delivery service versus road freight
Using a yacht delivery service is a simple decision for sea-crossings, but what about moving a motor yacht interstate from say Sydney to Brisbane or San Francisco to Los Angeles? A yacht delivery service is a preferable option to overland transport. Consider the rough nature of road transport - it can result in significant damage to your boat resulting in touch ups to the hull or worse. A yacht delivery service uses the boat's own power over water. Sea delivery is easier on your yacht. You need to compare the cost of repair and preparation for land delivery to a sea-based yacht delivery service. Share:
