Accelerate your learning
By inviting a skipper along for a voyage, you learn how to get the most out of your vessel while developing confidence in areas such as offshore passage-making.
Your time is valuable
Save your time by having your yacht delivered by Yachting Services (Asia). This could be to:
-
Prepositioning your boat before the start of a cruising season or returning your boat after your cruise has been completed
-
Moving your boat to or from regattas
-
Relocating your boat to a new county
-
Thoroughly testing the boat’s systems at sea before returning the vessel to you

Skippers' Concierge
A service born from firsthand experience.
Vessel management extends beyond day-to-day boat operations. Many of these tasks are best dealt with ashore where there is uninterrupted access to the internet and communications.
Marinas, fuel, hotels…
Reservations can be made, the progress of your vessel monitored, and facilities updated about your arrival.
Upkeep & repairs
Do you need your boat hoisted out for yard work, a marine electrician or gas fitter, sail repairs, or a bio clearance? To save you from being delayed while you wait for availability, we can make these arrangements while you are underway.
Logistics & parts
When a part breaks at sea, Yachting Services (Asia) can locate a replacement and have it shipped to your next destination.
Ad hoc crew
We can provide additional crew for a lengthy or challenging leg or if you need to replace a current crew member.
Peace of mind
An experienced, shore-based contact assures you that someone is there to assist you whenever you need it. This can encompass:
-
Monitoring your progress and getting expert help should the unforeseen occur
-
Finding alternative anchorages or moorings at short notice
-
Obtaining local knowledge in places with inadequately surveyed charts
-
Drafting passage plans for future legs of a passage
-
Arranging a tow for engine breakdowns and other major equipment failures
-
Providing customised weather and route forecasting
-
Acting as a sounding board to talk through problems. Useful for the skipper but also for the crew if the skipper becomes incapacitated
