Professional Powerboat Delivery Services
Capable Captain provides professional powerboat delivery for motor yachts, trawlers, sportfishing boats, express cruisers and other power vessels throughout the East Coast, Great Lakes, Gulf Coast, Caribbean and inland waterways.
Whether your boat needs to move a few hundred miles or make a long-distance delivery between regions, our experienced captains and crews handle the planning, navigation and day-to-day details required to get your vessel safely to its destination.
Experienced Powerboat Delivery
Powerboat delivery requires more than simply getting aboard and heading toward the destination. Every vessel, route and season presents different considerations. Before departure, we evaluate the boat, its systems, expected weather, fuel range, available ports and the most practical route for the delivery.
Depending on the vessel and destination, that route may include the Intracoastal Waterway, offshore passages, rivers, canals, locks or a combination of coastal and inland waterways.
Powerboats We Deliver
Our crews have experience delivering a wide range of recreational powerboats, including:
- Motor yachts
- Trawlers
- Sportfishing boats
- Express cruisers
- Power catamarans
- Downeast-style boats
- Long-range cruising yachts
Every delivery is planned around the capabilities and condition of the individual vessel rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Planning Your Powerboat Delivery
Careful preparation is one of the most important parts of a successful yacht delivery. Before leaving the dock, we review the vessel’s major systems and plan the trip around fuel range, weather, tides, currents, bridge clearances, locks and suitable stopping points.
We also determine when an offshore route makes sense and when remaining inside the Intracoastal Waterway or another protected route may be the better choice.
Boat owners can help make the process smoother by reviewing our guide to preparing your boat for delivery before the crew arrives.
Safety, Communication and Vessel Care
Our priority during every delivery is the safe operation of your vessel. Weather and
operating conditions are monitored throughout the trip, and schedules may be adjusted
when conditions warrant it.
Owners receive regular communication throughout the delivery and can follow the vessel’s
progress using our yacht delivery tracking.
We understand that your boat is a significant investment. From departure through arrival, we treat every vessel with the care and attention we would expect for our own.
Powerboat Delivery Throughout the East Coast & Beyond
Capable Captain provides powerboat delivery throughout Florida, Chesapeake Bay,
the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Great Lakes, Gulf Coast, Caribbean,
Intracoastal Waterway and inland waterways.
Our crews handle both regional and long-distance deliveries, including seasonal
northbound and southbound moves along the East Coast and deliveries connecting
Florida with the Northeast, Great Lakes, Gulf Coast and Caribbean.
Experience Beyond the Helm
Captain Rob Cinq-Mars is a USCG Licensed Master with decades of experience aboard
sailboats and powerboats. He also holds a degree in electrical engineering and has
additional training in marine electronics and NMEA 2000 systems.
That combination of seamanship and technical knowledge can be especially valuable
during long-distance deliveries, where understanding a vessel’s electrical,
mechanical and navigation systems is an important part of keeping the trip moving safely.
