Yacht delivery: frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about yacht delivery, answered by our captains. If you have asked yourself something we have not covered, send us your question.
What types of vessels do you deliver?
We deliver and relocate motor yachts, sailing yachts, catamarans, leisure vessels, and selected commercial and cargo vessels. If your vessel or route is unusual, we’ll build a tailored plan around it.
Do you offer worldwide delivery?
Yes. We handle both local and international relocations, planning each passage conservatively and matching the right crew to your yacht, route, and requirements — from start to finish. See our yacht delivery packages. Moving a boat south? See our Scandinavia to Mediterranean route guide.
How do you plan for weather and safety?
Safety comes first. We use conservative routing, smart weather windows, and advanced weather routing through our partner WRIWX. Clear procedures and checklists are in place before departure and throughout the passage. Owners can help too — see our yacht delivery preparation checklist.
Will I get updates during the passage?
Absolutely. Depending on your package, you’ll receive key updates at agreed milestones or daily reports at agreed waypoints — including position, weather, progress, and ETA — so you’re always informed.
Can you make my yacht charter-ready on arrival?
Yes. Our charter-ready package covers interior & exterior cleaning, minor repairs underway, pre-arrival fixes, bunkering support, and provisioning — so she’s ready for charter the moment she arrives.
Do you offer training while delivering my boat?
We do. With our guided delivery package, an experienced skipper-instructor acts as both captain and coach — teaching maneuvers, systems, passage planning, and watchkeeping while safely delivering your yacht along the planned route.
How much does a yacht delivery cost?
Every delivery is quoted individually. The price mainly depends on the distance and route, the size and type of vessel, how many crew the passage needs, the season and expected weather, and costs such as fuel, marina fees and crew travel. Send us your vessel and route through the quote form and we’ll reply with a clear, itemised proposal. Read our guide: how yacht delivery pricing works.
Who are your captains and what qualifications do they have?
Our captains and officers are Scandinavian professionals recruited from the commercial maritime fleet — with backgrounds as captains and chief officers on passenger ships, merchant navy officers and commanding officers — not only recreational skippers. Meet them on our crew page.
Can I join the delivery as the owner?
Yes. With The Co-Captain Passage you sail as part of the crew while an experienced skipper-instructor delivers the yacht and coaches you in manoeuvres, systems, passage planning and watchkeeping. Read more on our services page.
Can you transport my boat by road or cargo ship instead of sailing it?
Yes. Our Boat as Cargo service moves your boat by trailer, truck or aboard a cargo vessel, nationally and internationally — with no wear and tear on the boat. We coordinate everything from pickup to delivery. Compare the options in yacht delivery vs. boat transport.
Do you help with boat insurance for the delivery?
Yes. Through a trusted marine insurance partner we guide you through your insurance options, help compare coverage and explain what is required for the passage.
