There are times when you will need to travel, whether for business or recreational purposes. During this time you may need your yacht or some other type of vessel transported from one destination to the other. If this is the case you may want to solicit the services of a yacht delivery service. A Yacht Delivery service delivers all sized sailing and motor vessels on the water under their own power. They can be privately owned, commercial or charter vessels.

When soliciting the services of a yacht delivery service there are some things to consider. When inquiring about yacht delivery make sure that the operator holds the proper qualifications in order to operate your vessel. Most operators have a USCG Licensed Masters or are United States Coast Guard Licensed Captains with many years of sailing experience. Many Yacht delivery services deliver to almost any port of call, however they may make some ports of call more than others. Many yacht delivery services delivery all sized sailing or motor vehicles on the water, they can be privately owned or commercial.

Inquire about whether the yacht delivery service that you choose is insured properly although you will need to be insured as well. The cost for this type of service can vary based on the length of the passage and the type of vessel that will be transported. Other factors that affect the cost of this service would be the time of year, the weather, and various types of crew requirements. Owners are encouraged to join the crew and travel with their vessel. This can give the owner a chance to become part of the crew, provide the owner with valuable insight about their vessel. This will also give the owner time to improve his or her abilities, gaining confidence and experience.

The Cayman Islands are well known for the outstanding dive sites and clear waters, but what if this doesn’t interest you? Well there are plenty of other water sports that you can take part in. John Guinn, the Cayman Islands Specialist at Holiday Hut lists his top nine.

Parasailing

When parasailing (also know as parascending) you are attached to a specially designed parachute, or parasail, and to a boat. The forward movement of the boat causes the parachute to rise and you are lifted up in the air. If the boat has enough power, then two or three people can share the same parachute.

Jet Ski

Jet Ski is a brand name, but in the same way that all spa baths are Jacuzzis and all vacuum cleaners are Hoovers, any personal watercraft that relies on a petrol powered engine and acts like a motorbike is know as a Jet Ski.

Jet skiing is fantastic fun, after a brief introduction you could be powering across the water on your own, or even going on a Jet Ski Safari to Stingray City. Just try not to think about the fact that they don’t have brakes!

Kiteboarding/Kitesurfing

Simple to explain, but difficult to master, a kiteboarder has his feet strapped to a board, while holding onto a large kite. The kite is used to propel the kiteboarder across the water. Both the board and the kite have to be controller to enable the kiteboarder to move and to do stunts. The Cayman Islands have a warm steady wind year round, making it the ideal place to learn to Kiteboard.

Windsurfing

Once called ‘surfing’s ginger haired cousin’ by the traditional surfers, windsurfing has become very popular, and until recently windsurfers were able to travel on waves that were too large for tradition surfing. A windsurf board is similar to a surfboard, but has a large sail, with a boon attached to it. Similar stunts to those performed by kiteboarders are possible. The best place to windsurf on Grand Cayman is near a flat water reef at East End. Speak to local guides if you want a more challenging surf.

Wakeboarding

When wakeboarding you are towed along by a motorboat while your feet are strapped to a wakeboard. It is a combination of water skiing, snowboarding and surfing.

Wakesurfing

A surfer is pulled along by the same type of boat that is used in wakeboarding, except the surfer releases the two rope and surfs the wake produced by the boat in a similar manner as normal surfing.

Surfing

Not a sport that you would associate with the calm Caribbean Sea, but at certain times of the year it is possible to have some challenging waves around he Cayman Islands. The Hurricane Season particularly August and September can see large swells due to nearby hurricanes and tropical storms. Although you could go weeks without a decent wave.

Sailing

Although off the beaten track, the Cayman Islands have excellent waters in which to sail. Despite the generally calm waters, there are hidden dangers with the many coral reefs around the islands, so care should be taken. Also these reefs make excellent places to stop and admire the underwater life (following the strict laws about mooring, or course). It is probably best to avoid the hurricane season as the rains and winds can make sailing difficult. If you don’t have your own boat, local companies have group sailings, or you could charter your own yacht along with a crew.

Kayaks

Sometimes called a canoe in error, a kayak differs from a canoe in that it has a closed paddling area. Also in a kayak you sit on a seat directly on the bottom of the boat and your legs are extended in front of you, but in a canoe you either kneel or sit on a elevated seat.

You can either kayak along the beach near your hotel, or for a magical experience you could go on a guided Eco-Tour around Grand Cayman and get a better understanding of the natural hidden beauty of the Cayman Islands.

DVD Exploring Under Sail Volume 2 Cape Horn Challenge Fastest of the thousands of clipper ships that made the voyage from New York to San Francisco was Flying Cloud, which made the voyage in 89 days. The record stood for 135 years, until 1989, when five boats tried to break this “oldest record in sailing.” Amongst them was Georgs Kolesnikovs, just, in his words, “a middle-aged cruising sailor from Niagara Falls.” Underdog of the small fleet at the start, he was, at the finish, owner of the new record time for the passage.
