If you’re not comfortable handling a yacht yourself, we strongly recommend hiring a professional captain. Murphy’s Law often applies to ocean deliveries—unexpected things can happen, and you need experienced hands to manage them. This includes dealing with bad weather, equipment malfunctions, illness, injury, and other unforeseen events.

The cost of hiring a professional captain depends on various factors, some of which are listed below. We’d be happy to provide a free estimate tailored to your yacht and circumstances. Just reach out to us via email or phone. We can offer you a quote based either on a daily rate or per nautical mile.

Factors influencing the cost include:

• The type of vessel (sail or power), its speed, and equipment.
• The expected weather conditions for the trip.
• The duration of the journey and crew requirements.
• The starting location of the vessel and its final destination port. Traveling down the West Coast of the US is usually easier than heading up, where you might have to contend with challenging wind and current conditions.
