The Process:

Our process is thorough but easy to follow and starts with an information form to be filled out by the owner or agent - this tells us what type of vessel you have, where it is now and where you want it to go.

We will assess the vessel on your information and will respond with a firm delivery fee plus possible costs involved in preparing the vessel for the voyage in the form of a written agreement. Once the agreement is signed we start our preparations and this includes talking in depth to those that have skippered, crewed and maintained the vessel.

The inspection process may require the vessel to be slipped and as a guide we will inspect the following areas:

• Hull and fittings including rudder, shafts and supports
• Interior
• Rigging
• Engines and fuel tanks
• Spares carried
• Navigational equipment
• Safety equipment

(The NZ Cat 1 standard inspection for off-shore deliveries will suffice for our purposes. An out of water inspection may not be required if there is a recent and comprehensive survey report available.)
