Delivery Captain??

Hello,
Looking to possibly purchase and would need a delivery captain to bring sailboat up from NYC to Toronto. How much would this roughly cost me? Any sugguestions on past experiences?

Thanks!

Re: Delivery Captain??

My normal rate is $250 a day plus transportation and expenses. The going rate is more like $350, but much depends on the boat and the trip.

In the business references are everything. You can not swing a dead cat without hitting someone with at least a 6-pack but people with experience and happy clients are not nearly as common.

I am a delivery Captain possibly doing myself out of some work but I have to tell you by far the cheapest way to take your boat from NYC to Toronto would be by road.

Re: Delivery Captain??

Thank you everyone for your posts. Again, just trying to get an idea of what the going rate is since I'm new to all this.
Thanks Richard for your suggestion on road, I will look into that.
Anyone else just commenting really isn't necessary.
