Hands-on delivery experience with catamarans operating throughout Phuket and surrounding islands, including Seawind Lagoon, Leopard, and Fountaine Pajot models. We specialize in long distance multihull delivery and concentrate on conservative passage making, allowing for smooth and safe delivery. Routes favor protected waters and we use previous experience of local conditions when planning passages.
Approx. 500–700 nautical miles through the Malacca Strait. Commercial traffic density, monsoon conditions, and regional weather systems all influence passage planning.
Approx. 120–180 nm. Short regional offshore passage commonly affected by seasonal weather and local traffic conditions. Common for re-registration purposes
Approx. 1,500 nautical miles through the South China Sea. Passage planning must account for monsoon seasons, offshore weather windows, and extended open-water routing.
Approx. 1,200–1,500 nautical miles through the Malacca Strait and Java Sea. Monsoon timing, traffic density, and regional clearance logistics are key operational considerations.
The vessel is delivered as agreed, with clear reporting on passage, systems, and any observations on arrival.
Delivery costs are outlined upfront based on vessel type, route, and timeframe. Estimates a realistic understanding of cost before committing.
Structured planning, experienced crew, and disciplined decision-making. Deliveries are managed with a focus on safety, efficiency, and vessel condition.
Regular updates throughout the delivery, including position, conditions, and progress. You know where the vessel is and what’s happening at all times.
Fuel planning is based on vessel consumption, cruising speed, and overall route distance throughout Thailand and Southeast Asia. Expected fuel usage and refuelling locations are assessed in advance with contingency reserves built into the plan.
Primary factors are vessel type and size, fuel consumption, route distance, crew requirements, and timeframe. Weather delays or route changes can also affect final cost.
No. Deliveries are operated at practical cruising speeds to balance fuel efficiency, vessel range, and long-term mechanical reliability during offshore passages. This makes the passage easier for the vessel and crew.
Refuelling stops are planned before departure based on range and available infrastructure. We avoid tight margins and maintain fuel reserves throughout the passage.
For an estimate we generally require the vessel type and model, current location, destination, preferred schedule, and any known mechanical or operational considerations relevant to the delivery.
For longer offshore legs Yacht Delivery Solutions use their experience with auxiliary fuel containers including bladders, IBCs, and onboard fuel transfer systems. These are integrated into the delivery plan allowing extended range while maintaining appropriate reserves and operational margins.
