Halcyon Yachts Reviews 

Glenn came on board as an “owner assist” skipper in our first proper offshore from UK to the Canaries. In every aspect he excelled – not just in keeping us safe but taking every opportunity to teach us, help us fix what went wrong, and generally just making us feel like we had another of our mates on board (albeit one with much more experience!). We cannot recommend enough – thank you!

Yes, satisfiied with the delivery, everything was smooth and according to plan.
I wood really recommend Halcyon for any delivery in the future

Effective company, efficiently fulfilled what I needed. Provided excellent crew, who were both very competent and very easy to spend time on a boat with. Highly recommend.

Smooth and efficient delivery by the Halcyon team, James the skipper and his crew. The trip was short by Halcyon's usual standards but it did have some challenging weather to be planned around, the cost was competitive and I felt that the delivery was safe with skill and commitment by all involved.

Customer service from the team excellent, supportive and patient. The delivery skipper's willingness to meet up with me for a person to person handover before departure was very reassuring

William joined us as crew to cross the Celtic Sea, Penzance to Kinsale.
The weather has been unpredictable and we wanted a third crew member.
He was perfect. Friendly, helpful, skilled and crucially relieved me from an 8 hour watch bang on time. 0200 relief is a big one after a long watch.
Even though roly and uncomfortable he did his stint below on food prep.
Admin wise, Peter and the team were great efficient and reacted quickly when we decided on additional crew.

The Halcyon delivery crew were entirely professional throughout.
Their communication was impeccable, and presentation of the yacht at delivery of the highest order.
I would completely endorse them individually, and Halcyon as a company.

Excellent response and very quick turnaround. Delightful to deal with.

Extremely happy with Halcyon and their team to assist me with delivery of a 44 ft catamaran from Hamble to Kip Marina in Scotland. I also completed my Coastal Skipper while en route. Flexible, professional, reliable and great value for money. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

My first delivery as crew for Halcyon International and I joined a long passage from Southampton to Greece, and it was faultless. From the initial contact and necessary admin right through to our arrival back in the UK everything was clearly explained and swiftly completed. Our very experienced skipper Glenn kept us on track and although we faced some minor issues with the boat along the way, he always made sure the crew were informed and our options discussed. The clients couldn't have been nicer, and I would highly recommend sailing for Halcyon, I certainly will again

Arranged at short notice, excellent professional crew, delivered on time and without any problems.

True professionals who patiently waited for a narrow weather window, endured a 2am start and a false engine alarm, wind on the nose, and being becalmed all despite a rail strike clobbering their land travel plans.

Best decision to use Halycon Yachts for our delivery from UK to Portugal in late April 2023.
Five star rated skipper. Made all the right decisions to keep us safe whilst crossing Biscay.
Would highly recommend this Company

Having had Halcyon Yachts recommended to us by a friend who had used their services we engaged Halcyon Yachts to deliver our recently purchased Beneteau 331 from Bangor Marina in Northern Ireland to Falmouth Marina in Cornwall – the trip needing to be made during February.
We were very impressed with the helpful friendly service from initial contact with the office team to meeting the delivery crew upon arrival in Cornwall.
By chance the Skipper selected was based not far from where we live, and we took the opportunity to meet with him prior to the voyage.
Prior to the start of the voyage the Skipper made excellent decisions to find and take best advantage of a small weather window in the weather forecast. His decisions proved to be spot on.
We are happy to recommend Halcyon Yachts because of their attention to detail and the fact that everything operated and worked as it should when they left Northern Ireland and everything operated and worked as it should upon handover in Cornwall.

Through Halcyon’s Career Development Program I spent the year working on a wide variety of sailing yachts, learning a great range from yacht maintenance to Astro-Navigation, as well as getting to travel to some of the most beautiful places across the globe.
The mileage I built up of roughly 16,000nm has put me on a great track for future job opportunities and hope to get my Yacht Master Ocean in the coming months.
I can’t highly recommend to anyone looking to start out in the sailing industry but doesn’t know where or maybe struggling, that with Halcyon you will have a great experience at the same time as being safe and working with a great team on the boat and on land.
Thank you to Pete and the team, can’t wait for the next delivery!

Great service, great communications.

Good efficient friendly service, all went very well indeed

My boat called Whimbrel , it is a 62 foot Chuck Paine designed aluminum sailing sloop based in Palma . This year -2022 -i planned at least two months cruising in South Norway and the East Coast of Sweden with family and friends . Due to work pressures i could not do the positioning of the boat in either direction . Halcyon however provided the solution . This was carried out in both directions with little fuss and appropriate care and attention . I would be happy to recommend Halcyon to any owner . Regards Paul Over , Owner .

Very professional delivery in excellent time and with short notice, plus a remote handover. My yacht returned to Chichester just as I had left her in France, and was cleaned and tidied before the crew left.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Halcyon Yachts, both the crew and the support team at base.
