Plan a boat delivery with the right captain and a complete brief.

What this delivery involves

From short repositioning trips to longer passages, the right plan depends on the vessel's condition, range, equipment and the waters between the two ports.

Details to include in your request

• Vessel length, make, model, draft and current condition
• Departure and arrival ports, marina access and timing
• Fuel range, safety equipment and known mechanical issues

Include the boat name, pickup and destination, earliest departure, required finish date, phone number and email. The owner contact details are stored privately and are not displayed in public listings.

Before the boat leaves the dock

• Discuss a predeparture inspection and a realistic weather window.
• Agree on crew, fuel, dockage, travel expenses and delays in writing.
• Set a communication schedule and document the handoff at both ends.

Verify each candidate's active credential, relevant experience, references and insurance independently. Confirm the responsibilities of the owner, captain and any crew in a written delivery agreement.
