“Jeff Hanlon does yacht/vessel deliveries all around the world. He is an Aussie based in NSW and has a vast amount of experience in a wide range of boats. In both our Minke’s (Fontaine Pajot 47’) Jeff has taken me along for the ride from Sydney to Hobart, Tasmania to NZ, La Rochelle to Cartagena non-stop in 9 days while everyone else sat in the marina, and recently an early season trip north from NZ to Fiji dodging lows and averaging over 8.4 knots and burning just a couple of hundred litres of fuel for the whole trip." Steven Hedge
"Having run Super yachts to race campaigns for over 30 years Jeff can deliver anything to anywhere. Not only is he a whizz at shaking down/improving new boats I reckon he’d be pretty handy getting the older/tireder ‘used’ boats to port safely as well. If you have any needs as a company or a client looking for delivery services ,I can’t recommend him higher.” Steven Hedge. Balmoral boatshed
"We flew Jeff to Greece to act as our charter captain for our 10 day Charter. We couldn't be happier with his organisational skills and knowledge and are planning our next charter with him to French Polynesia." Angelo Papas, charterer.
"Jeff Is our main ,go too, captain when we need a yacht delivered fast, safe and effectively and comes highly recommended. Sound as the pound"

"Jeff and I delivered my Jeaneau sun Odyssey 509 from Pittwater to Melbourne mid winter after a 5 month delay due to Covid. Jeff’s experience and knowledge was exceptional and left the yacht spotless from bow to stern." Phil Mellody, Owner, Silk road.
"Jeff helped me with the purchase survey and delivery of my yacht from Mooloolaba to Brisbane and then project managed the change out of the standing and running rigging whilst at GCCM. All completed in an efficient and no fuss manner. You could not ask for more." Ian Paltridge, Hanse370e, Newport QLD.
"Every trip we have done has been smooth, safe and there has been a lot of learning along the way – from sail tweaks to deck layout mods I’ve enjoyed not only the passage-making but the ability to get more out of the boat and make it easier/safer to sail." Steven hedge, Minke
"Jeff has worked for me as captain for over 15 years. During this time he not only refitted my Swan 86' and project managed the build of my southern wind 100' but completed 2 circumnavigations, several years of busy charter seasons in the Med and Caribbean and did numerous offshore racing campaigns all with the professional ease and skills he shows. I couldn't recommend him more highly." Brook Lenfest
"Jeff delivered our yacht in mid winter to Melbourne in very trying conditions in which he managed seamlessly. Thank you for leaving it in such a spotless condition. Warren Stokes, Jeanneau 36' "Spot on" Pittwater to Melbourne.
