For an owner who wants to be onboard but who desires professionals with extensive experience, Reliable Yacht Services will supplement the crew with a licensed captain and crew.
This is extremely beneficial for an owner taking a delivery of a new yacht and who is looking to learn more about the onboard systems and handling capabilities. It also is an excellent opportunity to help educate and instruct the owner's regular crew on the intricacies of a new yacht.
The Owner Supported Yacht Delivery is a perfect opportunity to help learn how to get more out of your yacht and to increase your confidence and comfort level with it.
