Yacht delivery between marinas
Yacht delivery across the Gulf of Gdańsk and between the marinas of Tricity is one of our core jobs. We take the boat over at the start port, plan the delivery around the weather and harbor maneuvering, and then hand the yacht over at the destination port. A delivery on the Gdynia, Sopot, Gdańsk route can also run without the owner on board.
A yacht skipper takes the helm, carrying full responsibility for the boat throughout the delivery and keeping things discreet at every stage. When it is done, you get a report on how it went and on the state of the yacht. Need more than a delivery alone? See full yacht care and support for your boat.
A skipper for a trip, a weekend or a season
You can hire an experienced skipper in whatever arrangement suits your plans: a yacht captain for a single trip, a weekend or the whole season. A yacht skipper handles the boat confidently and safely, taking care of navigation, harbor maneuvering and leading the crew if the outing calls for one.
Prefer to sail yourself? We offer support and training, with a yacht captain at your side to help with the trickier maneuvers. We always match the scope to the boat and the trip plan, including when you need a longer stay, winter storage for yachts and boats and yacht provisioning before you head out to sea.
Frequently asked questions
What trips and jobs can I hire a skipper for?
You can hire a skipper for a single trip, a weekend or the whole season, and for a yacht delivery between marinas or ports without you on board. We also handle support and training for less experienced owners, and taking delivery of a new boat from the yard. We match the scope to your boat and the nature of the trip.
What experience does a SeaHands skipper have?
Our skippers have worked on some of the largest yachts in the world, for the most demanding owners. That is where the standard of work and the discretion of the superyacht world come from. This is a private crew, ashore and afloat, that handles the boat confidently and safely and never draws attention to itself. Discretion matters to us as much as safety on board.
How do I book a skipper, and how far ahead should I do it?
Just tell us when and where you need a skipper or crew, and we will match the rest to your boat and your trip plan. It is worth booking a date early, especially in peak season, but we stay flexible on short-notice jobs too. The fastest way to sort out the details is by phone: +48 502 052 017.
How much does a yacht delivery or skipper hire cost?
Every quote is individual, because it depends on the length and type of boat, the route and the scope, that is, whether you need a skipper alone or a full crew. A short yacht delivery within the Gulf of Gdańsk is priced differently from a multi-day trip with crew. Call +48 502 052 017, describe the boat and the plan, and we will prepare a firm quote.
Can a skipper deliver the yacht without me on board?
Yes, delivering yachts without the owner aboard is one of our core jobs. We take the boat over at the start port, run it along the planned route and hand it over at the agreed place, and you get a report on how it went. We take full responsibility for the boat throughout the delivery and keep things discreet at every stage.
What does a skipper do on a yacht?
A yacht skipper runs the boat, taking charge of navigation, route planning and harbor maneuvering, and above all the safety of everyone on board. As the yacht captain, they lead the crew, make the sailing calls and respond to changing conditions on the Gulf of Gdańsk. You can hand over the whole boat, or sail it yourself with an experienced hand at your side.
