We specialise in professional multihull deliveries throughout New Zealand and the South Pacific. Catamarans and trimarans require a different approach offshore, and our skippers understand the handling, load sensitivity, and passage planning these vessels demand.
Every delivery is planned conservatively, with routing decisions focused on safety, vessel comfort, and long-term reliability. From coastal relocations to offshore passages, we manage preparation, planning, and communication throughout the voyage so owners know exactly how their yacht is progressing.
Our aim is straightforward: a calm, professional delivery that respects the yacht and avoids unnecessary risk, ensuring it arrives ready for its next stage of use.
Offshore multihulls require specific attention to load distribution, bridgedeck clearance, steering and electrical redundancy, and sail handling. Our crews understand the systems and operational differences that matter when delivering multihulls in New Zealand and South Pacific conditions.
We deliver sailing and power catamarans to and from New Zealand, including Tasman Sea and South Pacific routes. Each passage is planned around realistic weather windows, range limitations, and conservative routing to prioritise vessel safety over speed.
Performance catamarans and trimarans introduce higher loads and narrower operating margins offshore. These deliveries require disciplined sail management, conservative routing, and continuous monitoring to ensure safe and controlled passage.
We are New Zealand based delivery specialists for Sunreef, Lagoon, and Leopard catamarans. Our experience covers regional passages from hubs such as Whangārei through to offshore cruising grounds in Fiji and Tahiti.
Our multihull skippers understand the systems, balance, and handling characteristics that make catamarans different. We take care of passage planning, vessel checks, and port formalities, keeping owners informed throughout the delivery.
The result is a calm, professional process and a well-managed passage — your multihull delivered safely, without fuss, and exactly as it should be.
We’ve crossed the South Pacific many times on Leopard catamarans. Our skippers know their systems, balance, and handling well — experience that shows when conditions change and decisions matter.
Lagoons are familiar boats for us. We’ve completed long offshore passages and coastal runs alike, and understand what it takes to move them efficiently, comfortably, and with respect for the vessel.
Fountaine Pajot catamarans are well proven offshore, and we know how they behave at sea. From planning to execution, our experience ensures a calm, well-managed delivery from start to finish.
We are dedicated yacht delivery specialists operating throughout New Zealand and the South Pacific.
Every catamaran delivery begins with a structured appraisal.
We assess vessel configuration, sail inventory, fuel and water capacity, seasonal routing constraints, and offshore suitability before departure. You receive a clear delivery plan, timeline, and cost estimate based on the vessel’s real operating profile.

While we utilize the wind, a safe Tasman crossing requires a significant diesel reserve. For brands like Lagoon or Leopard, we often carry extra fuel in jerry cans secured low in the cockpit. This ensures we have the range to motor through high-pressure ridges or reach Opua safely if poor weather is approaching.
Yes. We understand the high-load dynamics of performance multihulls. Whether it’s an HH, Schionning, or Outremer, we manage the rig conservatively, monitoring forestay tension and traveler loads to ensure the vessel reaches Whangarei without excessive wear on the high-modulus rigging.
New-build preservation is our specialty. We "harden" the interior using corrugated cardboard and protective covers over all high-traffic soles and joinery. This ensures your factory finish remains pristine for the handover at Viaduct Harbour or Gulf Harbour.
Absolutely. We handle all Advance Notice of Arrival (ANA) paperwork. For multihulls, hull cleanliness is critical; we ensure the vessel meets strict NZ biosecurity standards for "clean hull" entry into Opua or Auckland, preventing costly delays or diversions to haul-out facilities.
Yes. We have extensive experience assisting owners with offshore registrations in jurisdictions like Poland, the UK, and Langkawi. These are often the most efficient options for vessels operating internationally. We can guide you through the documentation required to ensure your boat is legally flagged before we commence the delivery.
Absolutely. Because of our professional standing and commercial qualifications, we have direct lines to specialist marine insurers. We can help you secure comprehensive quotes for offshore transits, ensuring your vessel has the correct coverage for a Tasman Sea crossing or a South Pacific delivery to Auckland or Whangarei.
No obligation and detailed appraisal.
Yacht Delivery Solutions provides professional multihull delivery throughout New Zealand and the South Pacific. From coastal passages between Whangārei, Opua, Wellington and Picton to longer offshore legs, our skippers manage every aspect of your catamaran or trimaran delivery with care and precision.
We understand New Zealand conditions, local regulations, and the operational requirements that make multihull deliveries run smoothly. Every voyage is planned around weather windows, vessel capability, and owner priorities.
Our skippers have extensive experience delivering catamarans and trimarans in New Zealand waters and beyond. From Lagoons and Leopards to Fountaine Pajot multihulls, we know these vessels inside and out — how they handle, how they load, and how to operate them efficiently offshore.
Careful preparation, clear communication, and conservative decision-making are central to how we work. Your vessel is treated as a valuable asset, not just another delivery.
No two multihull deliveries are the same. Each job is planned individually, including route selection, weather analysis, crew selection, and pre-departure checks. We manage the logistics, paperwork coordination, and on-passage reporting so owners remain informed without needing to manage the details.
Whether you’re relocating a multihull within New Zealand or preparing for a longer South Pacific passage, our role is simple: deliver your boat safely, efficiently, and without unnecessary stress.
From first enquiry to final handover, our focus is on professionalism, transparency, and safe seamanship. Owners trust us because we prioritise the long-term condition of the vessel over speed or shortcuts.
