Learn while you sail, with expert support
Our assisted yacht delivery service is designed for owners who want to be involved in their vessel’s journey — but value the presence of an experienced skipper onboard. Whether you’re a new owner, transitioning to a larger boat, or planning your first longer passage, we offer professional support that empowers you to take the helm with confidence.
You’re still the skipper — we’re here to guide, coach, and ensure every mile is safe, smooth, and educational.
What is an assisted yacht delivery?
Unlike a standard delivery where the owner stays ashore, an assisted delivery is a collaborative passage. You, the owner, remain actively involved while a qualified professional skipper joins you aboard to:
- Support passage planning and routing
- Oversee navigation and weather decisions
- Coach you through boat handling and seamanship
- Provide safety oversight during challenging legs
- Share skills in real-world conditions
It’s the perfect middle ground between independent cruising and fully outsourced delivery — ideal for owners looking to build miles, skills, and confidence.
Who is this service for?
Assisted delivery is ideal for:
- New yacht owners who want help getting to know their boat
- Solo or shorthanded sailors preparing for longer passages
- Couples or families taking their first trip together
- Anyone upgrading to a larger or more technical vessel
- Owners looking to combine training with travel
Whether you’re moving your boat along the coast, across the Channel, or to the Med, we’ll help make it a rewarding experience — not a stressful one.

- The UK coast – Solent, South Coast, Cornwall, East Coast
