Multihull deliveries along the Queensland coast, timed using forecast patterns and experience so the trip can be completed in a clean, efficient run.
Catamaran deliveries aren’t just a variation of standard yacht delivery. Multihulls behave differently offshore, which changes how the delivery is approached.
The passage is planned so it can be run through in the right conditions, rather than adjusted once underway. Whether it’s a Lagoon, Leopard, Bali or similar cruising catamaran, the delivery is planned around how the boat actually handles offshore, not just the distance between ports.
Most of the catamarans we move along the east coast are production cruising boats set up for private use or light charter. This commonly includes models from Lagoon, Leopard, Bali, Fountaine Pajot and similar layouts, as well as some custom or less common builds. We also see larger power cats and newer designs like Granocean.

Catamarans deliveries are planned differently from the outset, with emphasis on weather windows and sea conditions.
Regularly handling Lagoon, Leopard, Bali and similar cruising catamarans along the east coast.
From Brisbane to Gold Coast transfers through to longer coastal deliveries into Queensland and beyond.
The boat is delivered clean and salt-free, with a straightforward rundown of the trip and how the systems performed along the way.
The Gold Coast is the primary hub for catamaran commissioning and refits in Australia. We provide a professional delivery skipper specifically experienced in modern multihulls.
Whether you are taking delivery of a new Lagoon from Sanctuary Cove or moving a Seawind from The Boat Works down to Sydney, we handle the transit with a focus on vessel care and “no-risk” navigation.
Every delivery starts with a mechanical and safety audit. Before we turn the key we go through the boat.

Upon arrival, the owner receives a straightforward report on vessel performance and any maintenance items identified during the passage.
Delivery costs are outlined upfront based on vessel type, route, and timeframe. The detailed estimate is a realistic understanding of cost before committing.
All deliveries are led by experienced skippers with proven sea miles on the specific vessel type. The catamaran is delivered as agreed, with clear reporting on passage, systems, and any observations on arrival with a written report.
You know where the vessel is and what’s happening at all times with our 24/7 satellite tracking. We provide updates with photos during the delivery, including position, conditions, and progress.
Our job isn’t finished until the boat is washed down and tied up at your home berth. We treat your boat like an asset.
The Washdown: We don’t hand over a salt-encrusted boat. We do a basic wash-down of the stainless and clears upon arrival.
The Logbook: You get a copy of our transit log, including total engine hours, fuel burn, and weather observations.
Technical Feedback: If we noticed the starboard alternator was running hot or a bilge pump was cycling too often, you’ll get a direct report so you can fix it before your next weekend out.

Yes. We have many sea miles on Seawind, Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, and Leopard multihulls. We treat these high-value cats with respect, ensuring the rigging and hulls aren't stressed during the transit. YDS understand the specific systems on these boats, from the sail-drive configurations to the helm setups.
Yes. We coordinate directly with brokers at Southport and Boatworks. We do a full "cold start" check and a walkthrough of the machinery before we take the lines. If there are any issues identified during the handover, we inform you straighaway.
We don't hand over a salt-encrusted boat. Once we arrive at your destination we perform a basic wash-down of the clears, top sides, stainless steel. Our goal is to leave the boat in the same condition—or better—than when we took delivery.
We wait for a weather window that allows the hulls to run efficiently. We monitor the RPMs and fuel flow to keep the delivery as economical as possible, ensuring we always maintain a safe 20% reserve for the delivery.
Vessel type and model, current location, destination, preferred timing, and any known mechanical or operational considerations.
Yes. These are sophisticated, systems-heavy vessels. We monitor everything from the engine room readouts to the house battery banks and in between during the transit. We provide a full technical report upon arrival at your destination so you know exactly how your boat performed.
