Kevin Schmit is a licensed USCG 50-Ton Captain with over 37,000 nautical miles of experience. Kevin is fully insured as a delivery captain.

Delivery Basics

  • Minimum of 2 aboard (Captain plus at least 1 crew)

  • Pricing:

    • Typical pricing is $500/day Captain, $250/day Crew, ½ rate for Lay Days (Mechanical, Weather, etc delays beyond Captain’s control) plus all personal transportation, provisioning and boat expenses (such as Customs/Immigration fees, etc).

  • Captain and crew provide their personal gear (clothing, PFDs)

  • Vessel must be in seaworthy condition and have the following minimum safety equipment aboard in good working order:

    • Dinghy

    • VHF

    • GPS

    • Liferaft (required for offshore passages)

    • A copy of the boat’s most recent survey would be helpful

A phone interview is helpful in assessing an individual’s needs and ensuring expectations for both Captain and Owner are met satisfactorily.

Boats & Region

  • Deliveries are available throughout the Eastern US Seaboard, Bahamas, and Caribbean

  • Captain Kevin typically delivers sailboats 36-55,’ with others on an individual basis.

“…thank you for the great recommendation for Kevin Schmit, for the repositioning trip from Ft. Meyers to Maryland.  He was very professional, communicated well, and I will highly recommend him in the future.”
