Bought a yacht somewhere else?

DC Marine Co. can assist with relocating your yacht to its new home port, cruising destination or charter base.

Whether you need a skipper for a short coastal charter or a longer passage, we can discuss your requirements.

Passage Planning

A successful delivery begins long before leaving the dock.

We can assist with route planning, weather considerations, crew requirements, provisioning, fuel planning, safety preparation and passage logistics.

We can assist owners with delivery preparation, equipment checks, provisioning, passage planning and general logistical requirements before departure.

Why Choose DC Marine Co.

Real Offshore Experience

Yacht delivery isn’t simply about putting a boat on autopilot and sailing from A to B. Offshore passages require preparation, decision-making, navigation, weather awareness and the ability to deal with problems when they arise.

Owner-Focused Service

Your yacht is a significant investment. We treat every delivery with the same care and attention that we would expect for our own vessel.

Local Knowledge, International Reach

Based in Cape Town, DC Marine Co. is ideally positioned for deliveries throughout South Africa, Mozambique, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles and the wider Indian Ocean, while also considering international delivery opportunities.

Clear Communication

Owners should know where their yacht is, how the passage is progressing and what is happening onboard. Communication and transparency are an important part of every delivery.
