Run the numbers

The broker takes a cut. We don't.

Yacht brokers typically charge 10–15% of the delivery budget for a captain referral. On a €25,000 transatlantic, that's €2,500–€3,750 you keep with Boat Gigs. Move the slider to see what your delivery would save.

  • No listing fee
  • No matching fee
  • No commission on the agreed price
  • Direct contact — no middleman markup

What owners say

Real owners. Real savings.

Spent three weeks chasing referrals in Facebook groups. Boat Gigs gave me four solid captains in 48 hours. Sailed by the weekend.

Yacht owner · Beneteau 57

Saved €3,200 in broker commission

Posted a delivery on Sunday, accepted on Tuesday, boat in the Caribbean by month's end. The poster anonymity was the cherry on top.

Yacht owner · Lagoon 42

Saved €2,800 in broker commission

I've used brokers for 15 years. I'll keep using them for charter, but for delivery this is faster and free. No-brainer.

FAQ

Common owner questions.

Still wondering? Post anyway — it's free and you can delete the gig anytime.

How much does it really cost?
Zero. Posting is free, no commission on the deal, no credit card asked. Captains and owners interact directly.
What if no captain responds?
Across the platform the median time to first subscriber is under 4 hours. If you don't get a fit, delete the gig and try again with sharper details — we'll help you tune the post.
How are captains vetted?
Every captain has a public profile with role, licences, bio, and posting history. You review profiles, message them, and choose who to accept. You can block any user permanently.
Is my identity public?
No. Only the first three letters of your name are visible publicly until you accept a captain. Contact details are shared only with the captains you accept.
What about insurance and contracts?
Boat Gigs doesn't provide standard contracts. Most professional captains have their own template. Always verify the captain holds the licences your insurance requires before slipping lines.

Your next delivery is one post away.

Free forever. No commission. No middleman. Posting takes 90 seconds.
