A typical delivery, start to finish
- ✓Pre-departure check: rig, engine, safety equipment, paperwork and insurance
- ✓Passage plan and weather routing, agreed with the owner
- ✓Watch system, logbook and regular position updates
- ✓Hand-over: defects list, fuel and condition report
Certificates owners look for
Most owners ask for a certificate of competence that matches the boat and the distance from shore — on sailing and motor yachts this is often RYA Yachtmaster Offshore or Ocean (commercially endorsed for paid work on many flags), or an equivalent national licence. Add your certificates once; our team verifies them, and only assignments you qualify for accept your application.

Questions
Are deliveries paid per day or per trip?+
Both exist. Listings show whether it is a day rate or a fixed fee for the passage, and in which currency.
Can I list when I am free between other contracts?+
Yes — mark your open dates in your sea calendar and clients searching for those dates can find you.
