Growing Yacht Industry Relies on Yacht Delivery Captains

Dublin, Ireland -- Phenomenal growth in the global yacht industry has caused many new boat owners to hire professional yacht delivery captains to skipper their boats on long or dangerous voyages. Yacht delivery skipper Graham Caswell of the http://www.delivery-ski
fff
pper.com website confirms that the boat delivery industry is growing with international trends. "It's relatively easy to buy a new yacht", he said, "but sailing long distances through potentially difficult waters or weather conditions requires skills that can take years to learn".





Recreational boat ownership is currently a $25 billion international industry and sales are growing annually at 5-10%. While sales growth will likely be lower in 2008 due to economic conditions, many motor and sailing yachts are pre-ordered and already under construction. There are waiting lists of up to three years for luxury yachts in the USA and Europe and so the international fleet of recreational boats will continue to grow strongly.





However sail training and sea experience lag far behind the growth in boat numbers. Learning how to handle boats safely, how to navigate and how to operate the often-complex equipment found on a modern boat can take years. The American Sailing Association and the British Royal Yachting Association operate training and certification schemes in the United States and Great Britain. But learning to sail is not as simple as doing a course - developing experience is critical.





"Often new boat owners will join a delivery skipper for the voyage to the boat's new home", said Caswell. "This helps them to get to know their new boat and gives them valuable sea experience, while the presence of a professional captain gives them security and confidence". Caswell offers instruction to new yacht owners in such cases, as do most delivery captains.





But lack of experience is not the only reason that boat owners hire delivery captains to move their boats. Many wealthy boat owners are also very busy people and cannot afford to spend days at sea away from mobile phones and Internet connections. The average yacht will only move about 150 miles a day, so a long trip can take weeks that busy boat owners don't have. Instead they want to be able to hop on a plane for a sailing holiday and have their boat waiting for them when they land.





Popular routes for yacht deliveries include from the United States to the Caribbean and back and from the boatyards of Northern Europe to the sunny marinas of the Mediterranean. Yachts are also delivered to major events such as yacht races or the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers in which hundreds of yachts sail across the Atlantic Ocean each year. And of course, the boats have to be brought back as well.





"In rough seas or on cold nights the job of a delivery captain can be difficult", says Caswell. "But it also gives you the opportunity to see things that most people never see. You're always on the move, meeting new people and travelling to new places."





As boatyards continue to produce record numbers of motor and sailing yachts for busy boat owners who are often inexperienced with long voyages, it seems that yacht delivery captains like Caswell will be moving for some time to come.

Factors To Keep In Mind Before Choosing Vacation Deals For Cruising -

Go cruising! There is nothing more magica
fff
l than taking a cruise to one of those exotic lands. Come to think of it. Who doesn't dream of going for a cruise? Especially when you do not get time off at all, and it's always a long time before you can take your family out for a vacation. Planning for a cruise can take a lot of time and effort. There are so many cruises available with good vacation deals and to so many destinations that it often gets difficult to decide on them. Your first task is to know and plan out on the place that you and your loved ones would want to visit. After that is done, it gets much easier.
