Just purchased your yacht?
Want someone to deliver it and train you along the way? Going on vacation or relocating and want your motor or sailing yacht moved or returned from your destination?

Let an experienced captain deliver your boat on its own hull. My references and years of current experience stand apart from competitors because my qualifications are superior in time and experience. I have a degree in engineering and masters degree in Systems Management.  Also I am non-smoking, non-drinking and overly attentive to details type of person that will always deliver your pride and joy in as clean or cleaner condition then on departure exactly as you would want it.  

You may choose to join me on the trip and will have the opportunity to learn from an experience. Learn sailing, docking, voyage planning, offshore ocean sailing, navigation and piloting, weather forecasting, diesel engine maintenance, emergency procedures and have one of the most unforgettable experiences ever! I am well traveled and easy to be around. You will learn more in a few days than most people do in years. I will take the utmost care of your yacht from start to finish.

 

I have 38 years of maritime experience, and have delivered yachts to places such as the Caribbean, from South America, Mexico, California to Hawaii and Gulf of Mexico.

I have all the experience and required USCG qualifications, licenses and certificates necessary to operate on small boats, yachts, medium sized commercial vessels and ships. I specialize in on the water deliveries and yacht services covering the entire East Coast, Caribbean, South America, Gulf of Mexico and California coast line to/from Hawaii.

I will take the time to pay attention to every detail to ensure a smooth and trouble free delivery.  I was also a Chemical Engineer so I understand the need for extra detail. 

My first priority is for the safety of the yacht and those aboard her. I can provide complete yacht inspection and delivery service or assist and train you in the safe operation of your new yacht.  I make all arrangements for a safe and uneventful delivery.

My rates are far less than any competitor because I have no overhead but you still receive the equivalent of competitive rates.

Based currently in Mexico.   I am ready to move at a moments notice.  Here is the current captain rates and crew are $75/day.  This includes meals but not travel.  I provide navigation equipment, satellite phone, routing software and safety harness, vests.  A lift raft can be provided at a minimal added expense.
