Introducing our new, flexible approach to own boat tuition, confidence building, passage assistance, and delivery services including EU VAT movements

Why choose us?

Whether you need expert tuition on your own boat or a reliable delivery service throughout the UK and EU, Safe Hands Marine Ltd are here to help. We look at things differently and offer a relaxed, adaptable learning experience tailored to your needs rather than traditional formal courses - so you gain confidence and skills at your own pace.

Our boat deliveries and movements are just as stress-free. We prioritise safe, unhurried passages with realistic journey times—protecting both your vessel and our team. Many owners even choose to join us as crew, gaining hands-on experience while enjoying time on the water. If you need to move your boat to avoid unnecessary costs such as VAT bills we can also help, saving you holiday time and taking away the stress of having to do the trip yourself.

While we take a relaxed and newcomer-friendly approach, you’re always in ‘safe hands.’ Our lead skipper is RYA Yachtmaster Ocean certified with a commercial endorsement up to 200GT, and our experienced crew members all hold their own RYA qualifications.

Below are our core services we offer, but if you need something different, just reach out! We’re always happy to chat and find the best way to assist you, be it planning for a special trip, or learning how things on your boat work.

I needed to move our Grand Banks, but an injury meant either cancelling plans or hiring a skipper. Safe Hands Marine delivered my boat efficiently and provided vital assistance at short notice. Every aspect of the trip was discussed and planned, and all went without a hitch. Paul is clearly a professional and knowledgeable seaman who we would have no hesitation in using again, or recommending to others.
