We delivered this brand new boat internationally
We provide professional yacht delivery services in Wellington and throughout New Zealand, assisting owners with coastal relocations, inter-island transfers and longer offshore passages. Situated at the southern end of the North Island, Wellington is a key point for yachts moving between New Zealand’s major cruising areas.
One of the most common deliveries involving Wellington is the passage through Cook Strait. The route between Wellington and Picton covers approximately 45 nautical miles and is often completed within 8 to 12 hours, although conditions can significantly influence departure timing. Wellington to Auckland is approximately 350 nautical miles and typically requires four to six days, while Wellington to Tauranga is around 320 nautical miles and commonly takes three to five days.
Cook Strait has a reputation for strong tidal streams, rapidly changing weather and steep seas when wind opposes tide. As a result, passage planning and selecting an appropriate weather window are important considerations for any yacht delivery in the region.
At Yacht Delivery Solutions, we provide experienced delivery skippers for sailing yachts, catamarans and motor yachts throughout New Zealand. If you require a delivery skipper in Wellington, whether for a Cook Strait crossing or a longer coastal relocation, we offer professional yacht delivery services tailored to your vessel and destination.
