Boat Delivery

Boat transport for vessels up to 43 feet in length!
  • Just bought a boat and need it delivered to its new home marina ?
  • Want help from a knowledgeable sailor, so you can make sure it arrives safely ?
  • Not comfortable with operating the vessel at night ?
  • Too cold for a long cruise ?
  • Not familiar with the SF Bay's unique tide, current and weather patterns ?
  • Worried about grounding in the Bay's unusually shallow average 13 feet of depth ?

SailBerkeley will take care of that for you.   All the way from Redwood City to Stockton, we'll sail your boat back for you.


No outboard?  Motor not working?  No problem - we can provide a loaner outboard for the trip.

We come on board with PDA GPS navigation and appropriate digital charts.  We also bring provisions for the boat in terms of food and water for the crew, as well as appropriate fuel for the motor.

Many delivery companies have huge charges for delays - we don't.  There are two types of delays that may occur. The first is weather delays which may make it unsafe to proceed. The second is mechanical delays. We are often able to perform small mechanical repair underway, but occasionally the vessel may encounter mechanical problems that make it unsafe to proceed. In this case we will enter the nearest marina and notify the owner.  Either way - we don't charge for the additional time caused by the delay.  Even if it is out of our control.

The vessel MUST be in sea worthy condition before it is moved. This means that it must have all the USCG safety equipment. Also the various systems of the boat must be in good working order such as rigging, engine, septic, water, fuel etc. We can help you to determine this before the delivery date actually arrives. If a current marine survey is available we would appreciate having a copy. This will help us determine which systems to pay closer attention to.
