Your boat, delivered in safe hands.
Skippered delivery for boats and yachts
You don't have to find crew, burn your own leave, or risk the passage yourself. One licensed skipper takes your vessel from dock to dock, sail or power, and is accountable the whole way.
Sailing yachts
Monohulls and catamarans delivered under sail or motor, coastal and offshore.
Power boats
Cruisers and motor yachts, planned around fuel range, weather and your timeline.
Dealers & brokers
Moving stock or a client's new purchase? We handle handover deliveries with full documentation.
Confidence at the helm of your own boat
Owning a boat is one thing — operating it with confidence is another. Nobody wants to be another case of “all the gear and no idea”. Blue Water Private Vessel Coaching is personalised, hands-on training for new and existing owners: one-on-one mentoring from a professional vessel master, on your boat.
- Close-quarters manoeuvring, docking and anchoring
- Your vessel's systems and basic engineering knowledge
- Local waterways and safe passage planning
- Every session tailored to your vessel, your experience and your goals
Whether you've just taken delivery of your first vessel or simply want to sharpen your skills, coaching helps you get the most out of your investment, and spend more time enjoying the water with confidence.
Modern delivery, done properly
Most delivery outfits are a phone number and a promise. We run it like a real business: visible, insured and accountable at every step.
Licensed & certified
Your boat is only ever run by a properly certificated skipper — never a mate doing a favour.
Properly insured
Your vessel is covered while it's in our care, from pick-up to handover.
Live tracking
Follow the passage in real time. You always know where your boat is and when it'll arrive.
Condition reports
A photographic report before we leave and when we arrive: proof of the vessel's condition at both ends.
Honest quotes
A clear, fixed quote up front. No hourly surprises, no vague estimates.
Weather-first
We wait for a safe window and never force a departure to hit a date. Your boat's safety comes first.
Five steps, no surprises
A delivery should feel certain, not vague. Here's exactly how yours runs.

Somewhere not listed? Ask us — if it's on the water, we'll look at it.
What a delivery costs
Every delivery is quoted individually, but there's no mystery to it. Your price comes down to five things.
Vessel size & type
Length, sail or power, and how she handles at sea.
Distance & route
The run itself, and whether it's coastal or offshore.
Crew required
Longer or tougher passages need extra crew for safe watches.
Weather stand-by
Waiting safely for the right window is part of the job.
Fuel
Fuel burn, especially on power vessels over distance.
Tell us the vessel and the run — we'll send back a clear price, not a vague estimate.
Who's delivering your boat
Your vessel is only ever in the hands of a licensed, experienced skipper — a professional vessel master who runs these waters for a living.
The skipper who plans your passage is the one standing at the helm, and the one you deal with from first enquiry to handover.
Questions owners ask
How much does a delivery cost?
Every job is quoted individually — it depends on the vessel, the route, crew and weather (see pricing). Send us the details and we'll come back with a clear, fixed quote.
How long will it take?
It depends on the route and the weather window. We plan realistically, keep you updated, and won't rush a passage to hit a date.
What happens if the weather turns?
We wait for a safe window and never force a departure. Your boat's safety comes before the schedule, always.
Is my boat insured during the delivery?
Yes — your vessel is covered while it's in our care. Ask for the cover details when you enquire and we'll walk you through them.
Can I follow the delivery?
Yes — we share live tracking and send updates along the way, plus a condition report before we leave and when we arrive.
What do you need from me?
The vessel details, the pick-up and drop-off points, and that she's fuelled and seaworthy. We handle the rest.
Do you offer training or coaching?
Yes — Blue Water Private Vessel Coaching is one-on-one, hands-on training with a professional vessel master, on your own boat and tailored to your goals. See coaching, or mention it when you get in touch.
