Obtaining an accurate yacht delivery estimate involves far more than calculating the distance between two ports. Every delivery is different, and the final estimate depends on the vessel, the proposed route, seasonal weather patterns, fuel requirements and the overall complexity of the passage.
Before preparing an estimate, we review the yacht’s specifications, cruising speed, fuel consumption, onboard systems and any operational limitations that may influence the voyage. We also consider likely weather windows, customs requirements where applicable, and realistic passage times based on the yacht’s capabilities rather than optimistic assumptions.
Where longer passages are involved, fuel planning becomes an important part of the process. We calculate expected fuel burn, available range and suitable refuelling locations before departure. For extended deliveries, temporary fuel bladders or IBC tanks can also be incorporated into the delivery plan where appropriate.
Every estimate clearly outlines the scope of the delivery, allowing owners to understand how the passage will be managed from departure through to handover. Our aim is to provide realistic pricing, practical advice and a delivery plan based on experience rather than guesswork.
