On behalf of everyone at Reliance Yacht Management, I hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe at this time.

I wanted to write to you to let you know what’s been happening at Reliance.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been working hard to repatriate crew from across Europe, USA and beyond and we will continue to work with governments to support the ongoing effort to get people home where needed.

However, with our number one priority being the safety and wellbeing of crew, and with the travel restrictions across the world, we took the decision to carefully monitor the evolving situation worldwide and carefully comply with local restrictions in each country where are operating.

If your yacht delivery is halted because of this, I am sorry. We will be in touch to let you know how things may progress. I understand that this has been a difficult and frustrating time for many of you who have had plans disrupted.

Rest assured, I am working hard trying to ease the disruption as much as we can. I am extremely proud of the way that our staff, captains and crew have stepped up to the challenge we all face.

Looking to the future

We’re missing sailing as much as anyone and will continue to evaluate when we can start moving again. As soon as we can do so safely, we’ll be back on the water again – proudly delivering your yachts.

Until then, I wanted to say thank you for your support and understanding.  Please look after yourselves.

Nick Irving
