Choosing a Yacht Delivery Company is not always straightforward. There are probably hundreds of delivery captains around the world that claim to be capable of delivering your yacht, but there are only a few dozen that will be truly competent. How do you find the best? Not to find the best can be a disaster for your yacht. (more…)
We are very please with our new client’s comments on our first delivery for them
The captain is very good and excellent professional. We would highly recommend him…..We would be happy to cooperate with you in the future.

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch report into the loss of Cheeki Rafiki is now available to download. I would recommenced that every delivery captain planning an ocean voyage reads it.

Lagoon Dealer comments on meeting the delivery Captain
Hi Nick,
I’m still in Les Sables and I have been in contact with the crew since Monday. I think Daniel as the skipper is a good choice, he seems to be mature for the task with the correct attitude and approach from the very beginning.
Kind regards,
Alf.
Lagoon Catamaran Dealers continue to team up with leading professional yacht delivery company, Reliance Yacht Management
Lagoon Catamaran Dealers continue to team up with leading professional yacht delivery company, Reliance Yacht Management. The result creates benefits to both the dealer and the yacht owner. For the yacht Owner, a period of orientation and extended handover provides valuable familiarisation and enjoyment of their new purchase. The service can be customised to suit the client needs. Recently we have been providing two day orientation courses for new Owners collecting their yachts direct from factory in France. The course covering sail handling, manoeuvring and maintenance. On other occasions we have provided a captain for the initial part of a voyage and giving support and confidence to the owner to continue on. Yacht deliveries still remain the biggest demand, moving Lagoon catamarans direct to the Owner anywhere in the world.
For the yacht dealer, the benefits of using Reliance Yacht Management are many. As a representative in France, Reliance Yacht Management receives the boat on their behalf, check inventory, and carry out QC inspections. They can provide safety and charter equipment, and stow on board. This saves the brokers time and money who no longer need to travel to France as often. Reliance Yacht Management role is to look after their clients.

Wildberry, the first Sunreef 74 completes delivery to Florida. She arrived yesterday in Ft Lauderdale to complete its 6000 nm delivery from the yard in Poland.
During the 42 day voyage there were planned stopovers in France and Madeira. At each stage the captain created technical reports which gave valuable feedback to the builders.
The builders, the brokers and most importantly, the Owner were able to follow progress of the delivery via a secure dedicated webpage created by Reliance Yacht Management that gave live updates, positions, speed, weather charts and reports from the captain and shore based support.
On arrival and handover in the Florida the Owner’s representative made the comment, “The boat looks good, everyone has done a great job.”
The Owner later said
Nick, we were on the boat yesterday and it looks great. Your delivery crew did a great job of taking care of it. Captain N is a first class delivery captain and I’d highly recommend him to anyone for a delivery. I was especially pleased to see that you took care of the boat as if it was his own and would deliberately slow his delivery time to avoid pushing the boat more than it should be.
The thoroughness of his delivery report with the “squawks” of what is broken or may warrant attention, including potential improvements, was exactly what I was hoping for.
Nick, if you every need a recommendation for your company or this particular delivery crew; I’d be happy to provide one.
thanks

Following on from previous successful repossessions in Europe for a major international bank, Reliance Yacht management was approached by a small specialist marine lender in the UK.
They required a yacht to be located and secured in the Isle of Man and then returned to mainland UK to be sold. The yacht had had alterations made to it, and had not moved for some time. There were questions over it seaworthiness for the voyage.
Reliance Yacht Management were able to put together a package that suited exactly what the finance company required. They were able to identify and confirm the yacht’s location and liaise with port authority and harbour master to determine all outstanding marina fees had been settled. They also contacted the previous owner to gain his cooperation and obtain technical history.
A team of two were sent to the yacht to make an initial inspection and asses what will be required to relocate her. This was reduced to one to save costs, when it became clear there would delays and that considerable work was required to prepare for a passage. The yacht had not been maintained. Eletrics, engine and running rig needed attention. The Captain and Reliance head office sourced the necessary skills and parts required to get systems to a safe standard. When done, new crew were dispatched and a short test sail was completed. All being well they departed and headed south. The yacht arrived in Milford Haven and is now listed with a major broker there for sale.
Asset Recovery is a service of Reliance Yacht Management. They offer a complete range of marine recovery services, including discovery, repair, relocation and re marketing. We are experienced and able to perform international recovery through our network of agents and captains Woldwide.
