Questions fréquemment posées
Do you provide a tracking service while underway?
Yes, we provide a global satelite tracking service so owners and others can follow the delivery of their yacht on the internet. In general every 9-12-3 and 6 o'clock and when a harbour is entered a new position will be issued. The tracking service also has an emergency button.
Can you provide only crew when we do not need a skipper?
Yes, in many cases we have provided only crew where a skipper is not needed. In general however - to guard the safety of the crew - we demand the skipper to be experienced enough for the intented voyage.
Can you also provide shipment of our yacht?
Yes, we have much experience in loading yachts onto ships and we can organise the total shipment of your yacht from the port of departure to the port of destination. Ask us for a quote.
How do I know that I will get top crew and skipper for the intended delivery?
As our background is in offshore sailing instruction we are able to 'cherry-pick' the best crew and skippers from thousands of sailors. Qualifications are not enough. There has been a carefull selection proces, a close guided coaching, and our skippers bring in a mountain of experience and proper attitudes.
Do you provide weather guidance to your skippers?
Yes, when our skippers are underway they will be in touch with our base about the current and coming weather conditions and optimum courses.
