How to plan a sea going boat delivery
In the spirit of preparation and talking about delivery I wanted to put together a prep list and have it critiqued in the event I get another opportunity to deliver.
Please add or subtract what you see fit, please give a reason/opinion why when you do. Example: Client calls from marina and needs delivery captain to skipper a 38' twin diesel cruiser from Savannah, GA to New York, NY. There will be two on board that want to only do 11 hours a day to destination. They are willing to negotiate pay. 1. Inspect vessel(engine to helm) and report, request insurance information and last survey or service report. Are they SeaTow members? 2. Plot course or plan route. Check mileage, weather, possible dockage to refuel and overnight. 3. Negotiate pay per day plus expenses and transportation home. Also, have a clause in contract about layovers for lost time due to repairs(need help on this one. Time is money). Also, fueling responsibilities and methods of payment.(Client got enough gas money?) 4. Get underway....... 5. ?????.....................................

Check all electronics, Radio(s), Depth finder, Chart Plotter and Radar.
Check all safety equipment. Flares, flags, life jackets, raft (if equiped), flashlights, whistles, strobes, EPIRB. Check galley for food and drinks. (Lots of water and coffee). Sunblock/sunscreen, ball caps, sun glasses Toilet paper for the head (important) Float plan All of these are self explanitory and don't require further discussion.

Let's try it this way, has anyone ever skippered a 30 footer 900 miles before? If so, what was your procedure for a safe delivery?

Sucks you're not going , but probably a smart move. It would be cool if you could arrange for another capt friend of yours to take the delivery and crew with him and get some experience that way.
