Sailing
Deliveries & Coaching
professional passage making
We specialized ourselves on the needs of European Yachtsmen who wish to extend their sailing season. Rather than leaving your yacht during the winter un-sailed for a couple of months, sitting on shore only costing you money, you might consider taking her south and extend your sailing season and your time on the water. Summer in the Med, Winter on the Canaries, the Red Sea or the Caribbean? If you would like to do so, but lacking the time or the experience the given passage would require, than we're able to offer you two solutions.
Rent a Skipper
We provide an experienced skipper (certified RYA Yachtmasters) to assist you and your family, in becoming accustomed to a new yacht or require help with an extended or challenging voyage. The skipper will not only assist you in sailing your yacht, he will also willingly share his experience with you. Our goal is to make your passage an own boat tuition event - leaving you better prepared, more experienced and self-confident than before our trip.
Yacht delivery
If you lacking the time a necessary passage would require, but still want your boat in another destination, we provide yacht delivery services. We know, that the way you feel about your yacht comes close to the feelings you have for your own child. We understand those feelings and take them seriously.
Before any delivery agreement we spend time to work together with you in order to fully understand your worries and expectations. You will be not only involved in the planning of the trip, but also be regulary updated on every stage of the passage.
On joining a vessel we spend at least 24 hours, even for short passages, checking all the boat's systems and in general preparation before setting sail.
During the passage your boat is sailed conservatively at all times so that any wear and tear is kept to an absolute minimum. We never forget how important your boat is to you.
Before any agreement is made, we will prepare a detailed list of expenses that will be involved in the move. This list will involve estimated fuel usage, entrance fees for foreign ports, estimated time en route, return transportation, and other expenses.
Our aim is to inform you of the total move so there are no surprises.

Own Boat Coaching
personal coaching on your own yacht
Have you just bought a yacht but lacking the necessary confidence or skill in skippering it on your own and taking full responsibility for your crew?
If that´s the case, own Boat Tuition is a great way of familiarising yourself with the strengths and weakness of your vessel. All yachts are different and as such there is no substitute for learning how your own yacht behaves compared to someone else´s.
Our Training programs will be flexible, affordable and tailored to your requirements and expectations.
We´re based in Tarifa/Spain but offer Trainings all around the Globe.
You can book your RYA Yachtmaster to come along and sail with you on a daily or weekly basis.
