Yacht Delivery Captain Fees

---

 Various  yacht delivery companies charge in a huge array of alternatives, some  by the  mile, the day, including provisions, excluding fuel.

 It can be a  bewildering assortment of further expenses and add ons that had not been  budgeted for by the owner.

 No  one likes an unexpected bill when a price  had been agreed. At YDS we  ensure that every contract is straightforward and transparent with clear  pricing.  A quote will be given and we stand by our word.  Days in port  are not charged at  the full rate, therefore there is no reason to  "hang out", plus we could  have other clients waiting.  First Mate and  additional yacht delivery crew, if needed, will be determined by the  size of the boat and length of the passage.  

 All  crew flights to and from the  vessel are the responsibility of the  owner, as are the costs of fuel,  port fees (customs, immigration,  slip/mooring fees) and other necessary fees.

A written quote will be  supplied  for the yacht delivery service before any agreement takes place. In the advent of any  unexpected  incidents the owners will be informed and will be responsible  for any  decision that is made.

 It  is expected that all equipment  needed for a voyage is on board. This  includes, life jackets, life raft,  safety harness's, charts and  navigation equipment. 

In  the event that  crew feel that the necessary equipment is not provided  the owner will be  consulted and a list of options and prices will be  provided.  

Prior  to the quotation being  accepted we will request information regarding  the vessel in the form of  a questionnaire, this will ask if there is a  recent survey, age and  condition of rigging and sails, last re-fit,  photographs, when the  vessel was last used, and engine details.  

We will then plan an itinerary, and sign contracts prior to the yacht delivery captain arriving.
