. "WHY do we do what we do?" We have a passion for boats and everything that comes with life on the water! After a lifetime of experience aboard boats, we still have a love and reverence for the Ocean and the boats we love to spend special times on. We know how precious your vessel can be in your life and we can relate! How are we different? We provide professional service from quote to completion. We are a FULL TIME SERVICE, not part timers doing deliveries as a side job. To start, we send you a detailed quote and an open, honest assessment of your delivery or training needs. We provide you with specific breakdown of our calculations, where all funds will be distributed throughout the delivery. Second, we "CAP" the quote we send. What does that mean? As you know most Deliveries are quoted on a "per-Diem" rate. We do the same, but we also CAP the quote, so if we miscalculated the number of days to complete the delivery, we do not charge you for the additional time to complete the delivery. However, we RARELY deliver late! If we are ahead of schedule, we will credit you back and reduce the final delivery fee. We are also "Owner Friendly". We understand some owners would like to participate in the delivery. If you are mentally and physically capable of participating, we are happy to have you along for the adventure. Deliveries are not "Cruises"! We don't take a leisurely sail on your dime... We WORK on your behalf! Even if you can't join us, we will provide you regular updates of your vessel's location via e-mail utilizing SPOT Locator technology. You will have the peace of mind knowing where your vessel is at all times. As a boat owner and lover, I know how you may feel entrusting your vessel to a virtual stranger. I hope to put you at ease that your vessel is in good, capable hands. My philosophy is to always act in the best interest of the owner first! Most Captains will say they will treat your boat "As my own!" I personally disagree... I treat your vessel with the reverence as it is NOT my vessel to take undue risk with. You can rest assured your boat is in the hands of a conscientious, Captain with attention to detail. I am a Captain who conducts himself as if the owner is aboard even if he is not.

DELIVERY #200!!! On Watch Yacht Delivery & Training has hit yet, ANOTHER milestone! 200!

SV Scarlet Ibis was the lucky number 200! Owner, Michael Crosby attended the journey from Ft Lauderdale, FL to Nanny Cay, BVI. After some technical and weather issues on our first attempt to get underway, the second attempt was near perfect!

We took an unorthodox route to the North of the Bahamas to take Advantage of some favorable wind forecasts. We were rewarded with unusually good wind angles that allowed us a direct sail to the BVIs rather than going east, then south adding many miles.

We had the advantage of Michael providing Starlink aboard for continuous weather updates which gave us full confidence to commit to our route.

Michael was a pleasure to sail with and cooked some delicious fare which he and wife, Cindy prepared beforehand for days in their kitchen at home!

We wish Michael and Cindy many great years aboard SV Scarlet Ibis (Fountaine Pajot ISLA 40’)
