Do I need insurance?
Yes. The vessel must be fully insured. We require a copy of the declarations page along with your contract.
What is required of the vessel?
The vessel needs to be in seaworthy condition. The vessel's systems must be functional and the engine recently running and maintained. It should have adequate spare engine parts; (filters etc) along with all USCG recommended safety equipment, spare lines, fenders and a working VHF radio. We will provide a checklist with the contract which provides general guidance on this subject.
The vessel needs to have all current documentation/registrations onboard.
Delivery Times/Delays/Repairs
We will do everything possible to meet your desired delivery dates; however, we must consider all facets of the delivery, including the safety of our team and your vessel. Weather is the most often cause for a delay. We would rather delay a departure than to leave and be required to pull into port to 'wait out the weather.' Should the vessel breakdown during a delivery we will proceed to the nearest yard for repairs (if we cannot accomplish it) and will contact you ASAP.
Delivery Day
A delivery day is portal to portal from the Wildoats Marine office in Gales Ferry, Connecticut.
Vessel delivery is $300.00 per day for the captain and $100.00 per day per crew. All expenses incurred by Wildoats Marine Service that are directly associated with the delivery including transportation, meals and lodging are additional. Short deliveries are provided by quote.
