With boat sales at an all time high and travel restrictions making it difficult for people to move freely, delivery captains have noticed an uptick in requests and inquiries. Whether it’s to move a boat out of the path of a hurricane, deliver a yacht to its new owner or relocate a vessel closer to home, delivery captains make seemingly impossible situations, manageable.

We speak to Nathan Zhart and Vivian Vuong of Ocean Passages, to learn more about what they’re noticing in the industry, how they are dealing with the restrictions brought about by COVID-19 and how they can help deliver a boat to it’s new home or an alternate location, even if it requires crossing an ocean.
