Yacht Delivery and Vessel Management
|
We can Relocate, Sail, Charter, Cruise, Crew or Manage your Yacht anywhere in the world. We Can also manage the Refit, or Refurbishment of your yacht. I am a Yachtmaster and a Delivery Skipper with more than 25 years of experience and have sailed thousands of sea miles. My focus is on safety, sailing very conservatively, and making sure your boat arrives in prime shape. I supply skilled and experienced crew, or can help you sail your boat to it's new home. I am based in Southeast Asia so my rates are very competitive.

Rates:
On most deliveries I will use 2 crew. Larger boats (more than 50') may require more crew. Rates are based on sea miles. As skipper I charge 1.00 Euro per mile. Each experienced crew earns 0.65 Euro per mile. Under certain circumstances, and with your approval, I can also use less experienced crew, or crew willing to work for free to build up their sea miles. This makes the delivery more economical.
Other Services:
I can also assist you with commissioning, or re-commissioning your boat. I can work with boat yards as project manager to supervise the refit of your boat. As an electrical engineer I can perform some of the electrical design and refit work myself.
