What our clients say

Halcyon Yachts did a magnificent job delivering my yacht Nutmeg from Brittany to Scotland.  In particular, the Skipper did an amazing job and was backed by a strong crew.

Many thanks to Halcyon Yachts for a great delivery job in the middle of winter, carried out with minimum fuss and stress. A very professional job done by all involved. Skipper communications and tracking system was excellent.

Professional yacht delivery is permitted during these difficult times and buying a second-hand boat (for the first time) is a voyage into the unknown. No further reasons needed to commission Halcyon yachts and I am extremely happy with the result. The professional skipper was wonderful. Very experienced, knowledgeable, calm and great fun. It was a bonus to learn so much about the boat from the skipper during the process. Well done!

Halcyon’s hugely experienced skipper and mate, and supporting crew, undertook the 2,500nm delivery in November, ahead of schedule. with great communication.  It is difficult to thank them enough for their highly professional service.  Halcyon are a class act and highly recommended!

In a year afflicted by both Covid-19 and Brexit constraints, Halcyon were professional, friendly, polite and helpful throughout.  I had never used a yacht delivery company before but would now happily recommend Halcyon to anyone and also use them again myself.  The skipper gave me confidence from the very first pre-voyage contact right through to final handover.
