WORLDWIDE YACHT DELIVERIES represented by Captain Ian Engelbrecht has one more time done a successful delivery from Europe to South Africa.

We were recommended to contact Captain Ian Engelbrecht from the head office of Lagoon in France since we bought a brand new Lagoon 450 sailing catamaran from Bordeaux in 2011. Agreement with Captain Engelbrecht was done very quickly by phone and email and in less than one hour.
 
Good and cheap flight tickets to Europe were organized and prepaid by WORLDWIDE YACHT DELIVERIES.

During the whole travel we were frequently updated on the situation via SMS messages, emails and on satellite phone.

Seven weeks after leaving Europe and two times of crossing the Atlantic Ocean we received the boat in top condition in Cape Town. The stainless steal was shining, the deck was super clean and inside everything was prepared like a 5 star hotel.

We are clearly very impressed and extremely satisfied by the delivery done by Captain Ian Engelbrecht and his team. It is for us a pleasure to give WORLDWIDE YACHT DELIVERIES our best recommendations.

Subject : Delivery of an ex charter Yacht - Wind of Change

To Whom it may concern

Captain Ian Engelbrecht of Worldwide Yacht Deliveries undertook the delivery voyage of my 38ft Lagoon catamaran from the Caribbean to Cape Town (South Africa).

The service included a full delivery service and Ian and his crew undertook to meet with the charter company and accept the vessel from them on my behalf – this is always a difficult task and Ian went beyond what was expected and ensured that the owner received the best  possible vessel from the charter company. The vessel was made ready for the long intercontinental voyage by Ian and his crew with a great deal of professionalism and without any complaints from them during the trying times.

The voyage had a number of setbacks (which were out of Ian’s control)  all of  which were dealt with by Ian within the call of duty and with no fuss – as the owner I always felt that we had made the best decision for the circumstances at hand  and that the vessel was in the best possible hands.

The vessel arrived in Cape town in October 2010. It should be stated that Ian and his crew put in an enormous amount of effort to ensure that the vessel was handed to me in really good condition.

Ian Engelbrecht gave me professional service beyond expectations and I would not hesitate  to recommend him/Worldwide Yacht Deliveries for any task of this nature at any time.

Regards,

Hello,

Ian Engelbrecht has delivered two Robertson And Caine Leopard 38ft catamarans from Cape Town SA to Marsh Harbour, Abaco, Bahamas for this company. On both occasions the vessels were delivered on time and in excellent condition. Ian has proven himself to be thoroughly professional. In the last three years we have had twelve boats delivered from Cape Town. The two vessels delivered by Ian and his crew were thoroughly documented and in the best condition on arrival. I have no hesitation in recommending Ian to any prospective employer.

If you require any further information, please contact me at your convenience.

Sincerely,

Alistair McDonald
Yacht Operations Manager

To whom it may concern,

Ian recently delivered my boat a fifty foot Beneteau from ST LUCIA CARIBBEAN to CAPE TOWN SOUTH AFRICA arriving in January 2010. Having never met him I relied totally on the advice of mutual friends who advised me that he was the best delivery skipper in the country.

He has performed his contract beyond all reasonable expectations. He performed not only as delivery skipper, but prior to leaving St Lucia and undertaking the delivery, also as a project manager supervising workers fixing remedial problems discovered shortly before he took off. These were extensive. Not once was the problem of excessive time taken to complete repairs mentioned (three weeks). The attitude shown has always been that he had a contract and it would be completed, come hell or high water.

The boat was handed back to me in better condition than I have ever seen it. This was after six weeks crossing the Atlantic. I can not recommend him highly enough.

Should anyone like to give me a call for a personal reference please don't hesitate to call me.

Regards

Hi Ian.

I felt I must write to you to thank you for delivering my Lagoon 400 from France to South Africa. It was a long trip and I must compliment your maturity and patience. To go through the storms as per your video – 12 mt swells etc and arrive in Cape Town with nothing at all damaged and the cat in 100% condition.

Also thanks for doing the handover in Les Sables from Lagoon.

When you arrived in CT I wanted to come onto the cat – but you said you needed 3 days to make it “shining” – which it was on handover to me. It has been a great experience for me dealing with you and if anyone needs to get hold of me for future deliveries they can mail me.

Thanks again for a safe hassle free delivery.

To whom it may concern

Ian Engelbrecht delivered our new Wildcat from Durban to Harbour Island, Gordon's Bay.

His knowledge and professionalism ensured us an incident free, excellent sail under potentially unfavorable weather conditions. His choice and knowledge of weather conditions, their duration and intensity allowed us to sail in near perfect conditions and still make our deadline.

Ian was at all times thoroughly professional.

We would not hesitate to have him assist us on any future deliveries or to recommend him to any prospective employer.

Do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further information.
