Local Deliveries

Your boat, moved safely — on the right day.

Local vessel deliveries and repositioning throughout San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta, by a USCG-licensed captain.

San Francisco Bay · Marin · Delta

Whether you've bought a boat across the Bay, need to move to a haul-out yard, or want your vessel repositioned into the Delta for the season, a professional delivery keeps the boat, the schedule, and the insurance policy in good order.

Routes I run regularly

  • Sausalito ↔ Richmond ↔ Berkeley ↔ Emeryville ↔ Oakland ↔ Alameda
  • San Francisco waterfront & the City Front
  • Redwood City & the South Bay
  • Bay to Delta transits — Carquinez, Suisun, Stockton, and the sloughs
  • Return deliveries from Delta marinas back to Bay slips

How a delivery works

  • Pre-departure inspection. Systems check, safety gear, fuel, and any owner-noted concerns.
  • Route & weather plan. Written plan with tide windows, waypoints, and a clear go / no-go standard.
  • The passage. Steady, professional operation with regular position updates to the owner.
  • Handoff. Vessel secured, systems shut down properly, dock lines set, keys returned.

Safety comes first — always

Deliveries only run when weather, tides, vessel readiness, and safety allow. Sometimes that means waiting a tide cycle or a day. Owners hire me precisely because I make that call the same way every time.
