A brand new yacht we prepared and delivered from Hong Kong to Sydney
GranOcean Delivery Skipper
A significant part of our delivery work involves relocating yachts to align with cruising plans, maintenance schedules, or changes in ownership.
The GranOcean W60 is not the type of yacht owners hand over to an inexperienced skipper. These large luxury power catamarans represent a substantial investment and owners expect a delivery crew capable of managing a complex vessel offshore. GranOcean has built a strong reputation in the power catamaran market, with the W60 becoming one of the brand’s most recognised models.
This delivery involved a GranOcean W60 operating on a Pacific route requiring an experienced power catamaran delivery skipper. While many delivery skippers have backgrounds in sailing yachts, moving a 60-foot luxury power catamaran offshore requires a different skill set. Fuel planning, weather routing, machinery management, watch systems and passage logistics become increasingly important as vessel size and complexity increase.
We have extensive experience delivering yachts throughout the Asia-Pacific region and understand the operational requirements associated with large cruising catamarans. Owners engaging a skipper for a GranOcean W60 are typically looking for more than somebody who can simply navigate from A to B. They want confidence that the vessel will be properly managed throughout the passage by people accustomed to offshore operations and high-value yachts.
GranOcean power catamarans are increasingly appearing throughout Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the wider Pacific. As more of these vessels enter service and change ownership, demand continues to grow for experienced power catamaran delivery skippers capable of moving them safely between major cruising destinations. This W60 delivery forms part of our ongoing experience with premium offshore multihull deliveries.
