handover Single accountability
A delivery is not a single task. It is weather routing, fuel and range planning, customs and Temporary Admission documentation, insurance compliance, berth allocation, watchkeeping rotation and continuous position reporting.
Yacht Transits contracts all of it as a single operation. The vessel is surveyed before departure, crewed to her tonnage and cruising area, and reported continuously from lines off to handover.
- Commercially endorsed crew — skippers and watchkeepers qualified to the tonnage and the waters transited.
- Every vessel class — 30 to 130 feet, planing, semi-displacement and displacement hulls.
- Continental coverage — no single-region limitation, no fixed marina, no flag-state restriction.
Services YT-02
Six services. One contract.
Delivery is the core operation. The functions around it — crew, transport, clearance, tuition and survey — are contracted from the same operator.
02
Road transport & shipping
Low-loader haulage, cradle specification and yacht-transport shipping where a sea passage is not the correct method.
Explore03
Delivery crew & skippers
Commercially endorsed skippers and watchkeepers placed individually or as a full offshore watch rotation.
Explore04
Customs & documentation
Temporary Admission, transit logs, port clearance, crew documentation and proof-of-status records.
Explore05
Owner tuition & handover
Own-boat instruction during passage, or full systems familiarisation and handover on arrival.
Explore06
Pre-delivery inspection
Documented condition and systems survey before departure and on arrival, with photographic record.
ExploreSequence YT-03
Five stages. Position reported at every one.
Loss of contact is the most commonly cited failure in yacht delivery. The sequence is built to remove it.
01
Brief & fixed quote
Vessel, ports and window are submitted. A written quote returns covering crew, fuel estimate, berthing, insurance requirements and customs work. No cost is discovered afterwards.
02
Passage plan & weather routing
Legs, bolt-holes, fuel stops, tidal gates, forecast models and go/no-go criteria are issued before departure. Departure waits on the window.
03
Pre-departure survey
Engines, steering, fuel, bilges, seacocks, safety equipment, tender and covers are checked and photographed. Defects are reported before departure.
04
Passage & position reporting
Position, revised ETA, sea state and weather advisories are transmitted at agreed intervals. Plan changes are reported from the vessel first.
05
Arrival, handover & report
Vessel is berthed, washed down, fuelled if specified, and handed over with a written arrival report, engine hours and photographic record.
Coverage YT-04
All of Europe. Not one corner of it.
Base of operations is Beaulieu-sur-Mer. Operating area is the continent. Vessels are built in the north, sold in the south, wintered inland and chartered in the islands — a single-coastline operator cannot serve that.

Standards YT-05
Operating standards.
The value of an operator shows in decisions that are never seen: the turn-back, the front sat out, the weeping seal identified before it becomes a tow, the documentation produced the moment a port authority asks for it.
- Insurance-led compliance. Underwriter delivery conditions are obtained, met, and confirmed in writing before departure.
- Conservative weather criteria. Go/no-go thresholds are set in advance and held. Delay is reported with cause.
- Documented condition. Photographic and systems record at both ends. Departure and arrival condition are not disputable.
- Single accountability. One account manager from quote through to handover.

Yacht Transits LimitedPassages YT-06
Routes run regularly.
Distances are approximate rhumb-line figures. Actual routing varies with weather, traffic separation and fuel stops.
Antibes → Palma
Riviera to the Balearics
The workhorse spring and autumn passage — an overnight leg across the Gulf of Lion, or coastal hops via Port-Vendres for smaller craft.
Gibraltar → Southampton
Home from the Med
Iberian coast, then the Biscay decision: cross direct with the right window, or run the French Atlantic coast in legs.
Hamburg → Golfe-Juan
Northern build to the South
New-build collection from a northern yard down through the Channel and Biscay to her Mediterranean berth, with handover on arrival.
