Below is an outline of our Sailboat, Powerboat, Yacht & Commercial Vessel Delivery Process:

1.  Request your boat delivery estimate -- We make your estimate request easy.  You may contact Global Delivery Service by phone 832-541-7569 or enter your request on-line.  Either method takes about two minutes to complete.
2.  Review your boat delivery estimate -- Within 3 business days we e-mail your estimate. It includes: estimated cost, estimated time, the delivery captain's credentials, and the proposed route.  We also send our delivery agreement that formalizes the estimate in simple, no-fuss terms.  The agreement caps your delivery at a specific number of days.  If the delivery takes longer you do not pay for the over days.  If we take fewer days you are only billed for the days used.
3.  Select your boat delivery service -- Our responsive & professional business process; competitive rates; college degreed, non-smoking, Coast Guard licensed captains, shore-based support and a long list of satisfied clients are all factors in your decision process.
4.  Deposit and insurance -- After we receive your deposit, we book the most cost effective crew travel.  We will ask you to send a copy of the vessel's insurance and that the captain and crew be added if not already covered.  We will also ask for proof of ownership and a copy of the vessel's documentation or state registration.
5.  Pre-departure preparation and safety check -- We assume the vessel is seaworthy.  The captain will conduct a safety check of the vessel and her systems and prepare the vessel for the delivery.  These are some of the many steps we take to ensure a safe delivery.
6.  During the boat delivery -- The delivery crew performs daily maintenance checks and logs the navigation and vessel data.  For extended offshore deliveries and deliveries during the tropical cyclone season we use a weather routing service.  The captain also reports his position, speed and course and we post this information on our website so that you may follow your delivery as it happens.
7.  After the boat delivery -- We assume you will want to enjoy your yacht soon after delivery.  We secure and clean the vessel and provide a summary of any maintenance issues found during the delivery.
8.  Client Satisfaction -- Our criteria for success are the safe delivery of the vessel and the crew and satisfied clients who will use our services again and recommend Global Delivery Service to fellow boaters.  We have many satisfied sailboat and powerboat owners who recommend our services.
