How a delivery comes together

Four stages, from your first message to the handover. You deal with the two of us throughout.

  1. Estimate

    Price the passage in the calculator below. It uses the real sea route and your yacht’s own figures. We confirm the estimate with you before anything is booked.

  2. Passage plan

    We plan the route, the weather windows and any stops, and agree the dates with you and the people who look after her.

  3. Under way

    We walk the yacht and check her systems before departure. Once she sails, you can follow her position, and we keep you updated along the way.

  4. Handover

    We hand her over to her captain, crew or yard. You receive a complimentary report on her condition after the passage, with photographs.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    We specialise in private yachts of 200–500GT, motor and sail. For a yacht outside this range, please contact us; we can still help.

    The quote is in euros. It uses the sea-route distance, a delivery speed for your yacht's type and length, European day rates, food for the crew, and a berth for the night she arrives. We embark one day prior to departure to carry out pre-departure checks. We aim to disembark on the day of arrival; where this is not feasible, a travel day will be added at the day rate. Crew travel (tickets and transfers) is charged at cost and confirmed before you book. Every yacht is priced on diesel for the whole passage, including a sailing yacht. Liters per hour are 10% of the engines' horsepower, for every engine. If that figure is more than 20% off the datasheet for those engine models, the datasheet is used. You can also type the yacht's own liters per hour. A catamaran is the total of both engines. The figure at the top is our services, which is the crewing. Diesel and the arrival berth are yacht costs, shown separately, and are not included in that figure. We confirm flights and the diesel figure before you book.

    The hull's passage insurance is separate, because the premium depends on the yacht's value. Mention it in the note on the crew step if you want help arranging it. Crew food and stores are already in every quote.

    Food and stores for the delivery crew are included in every quote, at a standard daily rate per person.

    Olav Snijders skippers the delivery. He taught at Motor Boat Fast Track in Gibraltar, then spent 15 years on luxury yacht charters, mainly the Heesen motor yacht Brazil, and he founded Snijders Yachts in Rotterdam. Joseph Creasey, from England, sails the deliveries with him, on motor yachts and on sailing yachts. You are not passed to another skipper after the quote.

    Yes. Mention tracking in the note on the crew step, and we can share a private link for the yacht's position, speed and ETA.

    Longer passages include a short weather allowance. If the yacht waits longer than that, those days are charged at the same daily crew rate, and we tell you before they start. We do not add a separate delay fee.
