Deliveries are divided in 2 different types:
Coastal (less than 500 nautical miles or 3 days voyage)
Offshore (greater than 500 nautical miles, not including a transoceanic voyage)
On all deliveries there is a fixed number of items for which an estimate is given. In addition to Crew Fees, published below, they are:
• Transportation to and from the yacht for captain and crew (based on the least expensive current airfare/car rental) and includes taxis and other transportation costs incurred while on service, such as Customs visits);
• Provisioning (includes food and beverages, cleaning and protective materials); and,
• Administrative fees
These estimated costs will be based on the boat's location, condition, destination and
any particulars of the schedule (i.e. uncommon urgency).
Variable costs, as follows, are billed to the customer at the conclusion of the delivery:
• Spares and mission critical yacht equipment (e.g. spare fuel and oil filters, impellers, fan belts, replacement running rigging, liferaft rental);
• Fuel, motor and gear oil, power steering fluid, coolant;
• Customs/Immigration and Dockage fees;
