Yacht delivery, done properly
Where do you want to sail with your boat next?
Fly in, cast off, fly home. A verified delivery skipper brings the boat there, or back, or both. The same crews move charter fleets and newly bought boats, with payment in escrow and a handover report at both ends.

How the money moves
- 1You accept a bid and pay the skipper's fee, the expenses advance, the Skippr.it commission and payment processing on a Stripe-hosted page (rates in the FAQ).
- 2Names and contacts unlock. The skipper files a pre-departure condition report with photos; you countersign and the advance is released.
- 3Arrival report, countersign, done. The remaining fee is released. Disagree? Freeze everything with one click and we arbitrate.
What will your delivery cost?
Skipper and crew fees, fuel, berthing, provisions and crew travel, as a low-to-high range. Then post it and let the bids decide.
Choose two different ports to see the estimate.
Three skipper levels
Mile-builders who sail for expenses, certified freelancers with commercial endorsement and liability insurance, and master mariners for larger yachts. You set the minimum level for your delivery.
Insurance on file
Skippers upload certificates and liability policies; owners upload the hull rider that covers a third-party delivery. Skippr.it checks them so you do not have to ask.
Anonymous until you book
List a boat or create a skipper profile and you stay anonymous. Bids and chat run under a handle, with no real names, phone numbers or vessel name shown. Those are shared between you and your chosen counterpart only once a bid is accepted and the escrow is funded.
