I hired a delivery skipper (plus my son as crew) to move our boat from Savannah, GA to the upper Chesapeake after a hurricane ruined my original schedule, stranding me at work. He charged by the day, slept on the boat and ran overnight a couple of times. We did provide a meal allowance. IIRC, he took less than 5 days and averaged about 150 miles/day. He's used regularly by Kadey Krogen so I figured I could trust him with Stella. Overall, it was much less expensive than I feared, but in the future I hope to do all my own deliveries.
