A quotation is an indication based on the information available at the time. A booking becomes binding only when the parties agree the written scope, commercial terms, responsibilities, and payment schedule.
Managed Yacht Delivery
North Star Marine coordinates a suitable delivery captain, crew, preparation, passage operation, reporting, and handover. The yacht must be legally and technically capable of the proposed passage. Final acceptance remains subject to document review, readiness checks, weather, route, and the captain’s professional assessment.
Weather Routing & Passage Support
The owner or nominated captain remains responsible for the yacht, crew, navigation, seamanship, and onboard decisions. North Star Marine provides agreed shoreside support and decision assistance; it does not replace the owner’s command or statutory responsibilities.
Yacht Shipping Coordination
North Star Marine coordinates the agreed quotation, scheduling, port-side and onward-delivery interfaces. The selected carrier remains responsible for its contracted carriage obligations, acceptance criteria and terms. Lifting, cradling, port services and marine insurance are included only where expressly stated.
New Build Yacht Handover
North Star Marine may coordinate launch and commissioning interfaces, attend sea trials, document outstanding items, assist with owner familiarisation and provide practical handling or passage-readiness support as agreed. New Build Yacht Handover may be a standalone appointment or one phase of a wider delivery, shipping or owner-support scope. This service does not replace an independent survey, engineering inspection, statutory certification, builder warranty obligations, specialist technical sign-off or accredited training. The written proposal defines our representative authority and reporting line.
Limitations
Passage timing, routing, weather, port access, border requirements, equipment failure, and other external conditions cannot be guaranteed. Carrier transport, carrier charges, lifting, cradling, loading, discharge, port services, repairs, fuel, provisioning, flights, accommodation, marina charges, agents, taxes, and other third-party costs are handled as set out in the agreed proposal.
