Owner reviews

Reviews from yacht owners we sailed for

These reviews reached us by email, on uShip and through our previous website. Most of the owners we deliver for send a short note after handover; a few, like Andy and Jean-Michel, wrote more. Always check reviews before you choose a yacht delivery company or a freelance skipper.

I bought a vintage pilot cutter built in 1924 in Gjöl, Denmark, last year in summer. See enclosure, the white hull is just before leaving DK, the black as she was some years back in time). Marek got the difficult challenging mission to sail her to Wemeldinge in the south of Holland. Needless to say that this was a true challenge. The journey went on see with just minor problems now and then until Kiel, Germany, where she was loaded on truck for the second half of the journey. We took the decision together, Marek and I, to finish by road for security reason since the hull was started to leak somewhat too much. Marek and his team did a perfect job, caring for the old lady with a perfect dedication. They sent me regularly textos all along the trip, fixed everything perfectly including in Kiel for the loading on truck, and we now happen to be friends after this. We are still friendly exchanging information on the progress of the full renovation that I have started after the journey. The funny thing is that I have never met Marek in person, but I am looking forward to meeting him and exchanging good Belgian beer against Slivovitch at the earliest possible occasion

I used these people to sail my boat from Cardiff to Mallorca, they are from Poland but their english was excellent. During the delivery I was contacted via email and also by satellite phone as they were in the bay of Biscay. The boat was sailed to Mallorca and there was no extra cost to me, also nothing was broken during the passage. I made contact to other companies to do the job but most never got back to me.

Robert and Michael were fantastic and went above and beyond anything he could have hoped for. They were brilliant, masters of their art.

I needed to transport my Bavaria 50′ from Palma, Mallorca to Tenerife. I took cpt Marius and finaly I’ve got my yacht at destination on time. He’s a good captain and experienced sailor. Open and friendly.

Highly professionel handling of shipment from the Company SSYD. Everything was kept on time and the crew was very professional and was cautious to the boat. Highly recommended!

Reminiscences of the last cruise: Bay of Biscay – Cherbourg – Ijmuiden (near Amsterdam). Perfect cruise: calm and full professionalism with non-stop joy, humor and laughter, plus high culture and intellectual feast, cooperation and support- the ideal mix. The slogan ahoy adventure was ever alive: we’ve sailed at night in the fishing nets, then came small engine failure (we had to make a phone call to a friend: Dariusz Kaminski thank you!), and finally a nice beam reach in the sun and sailing at over 7,5kn.
