Delivering your boat to it's home port

A delivery project?

35 to 60 feet? Monohull or multihull? Whether or not you have entrusted us with the search for a boat, individuals, rental companies, or boating professionals, Mathieu and his team of professional skippers will take care of transporting your boat to its safe port, wherever it is in the world and whatever its destination!

No matter what, did you know this?

The practice and profession of a skipper are governed by the rules of the STCW convention, which establishes the minimum requirements for skills that seafarers must have. However, the convention does not specify the terms of validation for these acquired skills; these are at the discretion of 127 signatory states, including France, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

Each state may add additional or more stringent training requirements and issue its own diploma courses. In such cases, these requirements only concern skippers who wish to work on board vessels flying the flag of that state. For example, a skipper wishing to work on board a vessel flying the French flag must hold, among other things, either Captain 200 or Captain 500, depending on the navigation program envisaged by the shipowner.

The skippers contracted by BWS are all qualified under the STCW convention and are covered by professional skipper liability insurance taken out with PANTAENIUS!
