First Trans Atlantic Crossing

passportI found an old passport of mine recently at the back of my desk draw. The photo caused great amusement in the office. But amongst the many colourful stamps and visas for Australia, Canada, Galapagos, Tahiti etc. I found a small smudged mark saying “immigration 25 May 1984 Bermuda”, It recorded my first transatlantic crossing from Plymouth to Annapolis 30 years ago. A time for private reflection and recognition of how far we have come.  Reliance Yacht Management has been the leading yacht deliveries ever since and there have been many more “firsts” of note.

 

Here are a few.

  • First to have written Standard Operating Procedure to ensure high and consistent stands of safety and service.
  • First to introduce a fleet management system and have 40 yachts on delivery at one time.
  • First to introduce satellite tracking to enable charter fleets and private owners to monitor deliveries.
  • First to ensure Captains have professional liability insurance as standard.
  • First to have dedicated contact ashore available 24/7
  • First to achieve ISO9001 accreditation.

We are obviously proud that our high standards and professionalism have been recognised by so many yacht Owners, Dealers and Fleet Managers over the years and I thank you all for your continued and loyal support.

Looking forward, and with the current charter season not far away, our highly experienced and qualified captains and crew are ready to assist with all your yacht movement needs for the next year and the next 30 years after that. Great captains are always in demand so don’t leave it too late
