Trawler Delivery Pacific Islands
We bridge the gap between the Pacific Islands and the NZ coast with professional, ocean-certified delivery crews.
Relocating a trawler across the Pacific requires discipline, endurance and mechanical vigilance.
Unlike coastal hops, a trans-Pacific passage demands a crew that understands long-range fuel management and the nuances of mid-ocean system maintenance. We prioritize the safety of your asset above all else, utilizing advanced weather routing services to find the smoothest windows for the crossing between the Islands and Australia.
Our skippers are experienced in the unique logistics the Pacific including customs clearances and offshore provisioning. We specialize in Pacific routes, optimizing your trawler’s stabilizers and fuel burn for a comfortable, safe arrival. From the Pacific to Southport, we manage the entire process.
Every delivery is backed by detailed passage planning and real-time 24/7 satellite tracking, giving you total transparency. We don't just move boats; we manage assets. Our goal is to ensure that when you step back on board the vessel is ready for immediate use.
Navigating paperwork is just as critical as navigating the ocean. Our team ensures all customs and quarantine requirements are met for a smooth arrival into Queensland ports. We handle the technical preparation, offshore provisioning, and daily communications, so you have peace of mind.
Accurate fuel burn, range calculations, and refueling stops planned before departure. IBC or bladder installation and fuel transfer system installation if required for Ocean passages with strict safety margins.
Hands-on delivery experience with power boats operating throughout Queensland and across the Pacific, including Flemming, Grand Banks and similar vessels. Familiar with ocean conditions, fuel range planning, and performance characteristics specific to the vessel, allowing for efficient passage planning, operation, and handover.

The vessel is delivered as agreed, with clear reporting on passage, systems, and any observations on arrival.
Delivery costs are outlined upfront based on vessel type, route, and timeframe. Estimates a realistic understanding of cost before committing.
Structured planning, experienced crew, and disciplined decision-making. Deliveries are managed with a focus on safety, efficiency, and vessel condition.
Regular updates throughout the delivery, including position, conditions, and progress. You know where the vessel is and what’s happening at all times.
Fuel planning is based on vessel burn rate, cruising speed, and route distance. We calculate expected consumption and identify refuelling points in advance, with contingency built in.
Primary factors are vessel type and size, fuel consumption, route distance, crew requirements, and timeframe. Weather delays or route changes can also affect final cost.
No. Deliveries are run at efficient cruising speeds to balance fuel consumption, range, and mechanical reliability.
Refuelling stops are planned before departure based on range and available infrastructure. We avoid tight margins and maintain fuel reserves throughout the passage.
Vessel type and model, current location, destination, preferred timing, and any known mechanical or operational considerations.
For longer offshore legs, we’re experienced with auxiliary fuel solutions including bladders, IBCs, and onboard fuel transfer systems. These are integrated into the delivery plan with clear safety procedures, allowing extended range while maintaining appropriate reserves and operational margins.
