Experienced Professionals
Captain Willie's Yacht Services evolved out of my passion for the ocean. I've boated as long as I can remember. I hold a USCG Master's (NC) license, with a sailing endorsement. I have thousands of miles of experience moving and racing a wide variety of boats in many corners of the world. I've held corporate jobs managing large teams and big budgets and worked in various marine industry positions, including teaching, repairing boats, selling boats and yacht charters. I've developed a network of talented, responsible individuals to assist with deliveries depending on the location and the specific circumstances of your proposed delivery.
Conservative Decisions
Safety is our number one priority for all deliveries. We will make conservative decisions to ensure that your vessel and her crew arrive safely. We will thoroughly inspect the vessel before we depart and document any existing damage or problems. Click Here for Inspection Checklist. We will monitor weather before and during the voyage and adjust departures dates and/or routes to avoid unsafe conditions. We will err toward caution while underway to minimize risk and wear on your boat. We will log location, systems and any issues that arise during the trip and present a report to you upon delivery. ​
Top-Notch Communication
We will communicate with you throughout the process, starting with our initial consultation through the completion of the delivery. Indeed, we hope our relationship will last long after that!
Fair, Transparent Pricing
Many variables affect pricing. Short deliveries may be a flat rate. Longer, more complicated trips will probably entail a daily rate for the captain, crew and provisioning. In either case, you will also be responsible for expenses such as fuel and oil, dockage, transit fees, travel, etc. Although we carry mariner liability insurance (certificate available upon request), we will ask that the vessel's insurer pre-approve our operation of the vessel. Please contact us to discuss in more detail.​
