60 Days At Sea - The Realities of Yacht Deliveries

Adventure On Deck

Getting a yacht from one place to another isn’t as straightforward as you might think…

In this episode, Roland and I dive into the ins and outs of yacht ‘deliveries’.

We’re moving Abide to St. Thomas in preparation for a boat show (more on that in a later episode). We’re recording from Charleston, where we’re busy prepping Abide to ensure she arrives in the same condition she left in.

We discuss everything that’s involved from hiring extra crew to stocking up with enough food to sustain 9+ people for days of round-the-clock sailing.

With day-and-night sailing, delivering a yacht is more than a cruise - it’s about managing a finely tuned operation that ensures everyone and everything arrives in one piece.

Highlights from this episode:

• What it takes to deliver a yacht in one piece.
• Planning for nonstop, round-the-clock sailing with rotating crew.
• What to do in an injury situation.
• Cooking on the go and keeping 9+ crew members fueled for the journey.
• The biggest delivery danger in the water - and it’s not sharks or icebergs…
• Roland’s story of locking a crew member up in the brig during a past delivery!
