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.
