A Dream Yacht Delivery

"Thanks Nick, you are a consummate professional who turned a very stressful situation into a pleasurable experience,"


At short notice Reliance Yacht Management was tasked to take over the Lagoon 450 Catamaran “Solicitude” at the commissioning dock in Les Sables d’Olonne in France for a delivery to Tortola. The boat was destined to join the Dream Yachts charter fleet in the BVI.



Leading delivery captain Hanna Golebiewska was the perfect choice for the contract. She had the experience of the model and the brand. She had also completed multiple Atlantic crossings on catamarans. The Operations desk at Reliance assisted in sourcing suitable crew, communications, professional weather routing and set up a dedicated webpage for the Owner to follow progress. Within days all was set and on the 29th November 2016 the crew were on board. Circumstances were such that extra time was needed to prepare and clean the yacht prior to delivery. Missing inventory had to be replaced. A series of photographs and reports were provided giving the Owner and Broker a comprehensive assessment of the yacht’s condition.
