Also schedule a Relief Captain or 2nd Captain for watch-standing & Local Knowledge, particularly for those vessels operating in unfamiliar water such as SE Alaska.

Expedition Documentation: Whether you're planning a special vacation or expedition, Yacht Sourcing can document the trip with high definition photography and documentation. Yacht Sourcing works with professional photographers of the highest level of expertise, for above & below water photography.

Relief Captain: Yacht Sourcing supplies captains that are highly experienced in operating both mega-yachts and charter-vessels, both power or sail. Note: Yacht Sourcing's Captains do not accept replacement positions without first obtaining authorization from the existing Captain.

Vessel Deliveries: Yacht Sourcing has access to some of the most experienced delivery captains for east & west coast deliveries, including Mediterranean deliveries.

Project Manager: Yacht Sourcing has Captains available on east & west coasts that are experienced in yacht maintenance, major refits and new construction. Often, the only time Captain's are able to take time off is during yard periods. Yacht Sourcing will work as project manager and ensure that the Yacht Owner's interests are protected and projects are performed according to the vessel's intended project scope.
