Skippers & Crew April 2009
FTA Jon and Steph Rose
I am sorry for not writing to you following the successful delivery of my yacht to Lanzarote, I have no excuse other than I have been there allot enjoying myself.
I thought I would write to let you know how happy and impressed I was with your service and handling of the reasonably difficult delivery from the awful bleak and wet North Wales coast to the reasonably perfect Canary islands, where I have been enjoying my Yacht to its full since.
The only complaint I have is I had nothing to do, which I’m not used to, but I’ve got over this.
For anyone thinking of using your services, I can only say that I fully endorse and recommend your services as accurate, precise, well planned, respectful and safe and excellent value for money. The boat was no different to the day it left Conwy and in fact I think it was cleaner !
I am happy to supply my phone number to anyone requiring a reference to your excellent service.
All the best, and thank you again.

Here's an article sent by one of our customers to Yachting Monthly magazine. Unfortunately they didn't print it.
Dear Sirs,
This is the first time after 15 years of reading your various magazines that I have bothered to contribute some information for other readers.
I recently purchased a second hand boat, a Wauquiez 40 Pilot Saloon in Nieuwport, Belgium, this is another story in itself. I needed this boat to be quickly transferred down to the Morbihan where my other boat a Moody 36 had already been sold and was waiting for me to arrive to clear all of my bits and bobs to the new boat. By using the internet and your magazine I found an organization called Skippers and Crew run by Jon Rose and his wife. They gave me very competitive and genuine easy to read quotation which I accepted, and advised them of the approximate dates for the delivery. Their service was exemplary, they arrived by foot, on time (looking slightly weary after a 3 mile walk), they then proceeded to check all the equipment on the yacht even though the surveyor had only just left. They produced up to date charts, electronics and took complete control of all matters nautical.
It was a pleasure to sail with them and it meant that I was able to spend all of my free time learning about my new craft and enjoying a good sail without the normal levels of responsibility. I highly recommend their service to any other yachtsmen who traditionally sail short handed, but is looking at a long crossing where youth and experience are required.
I would be grateful if you would print this article as I am sure many of your readers would benefit from this information.
Should you require any further information my mobile telephone number is *************.
Kind Regards,
Tony Kelly |
