The delivery voyage from Bira to your cruising ground is the milestone owners forget to budget – and it is a real one. Getting a finished hull from the South Sulawesi coast to Komodo, Raja Ampat or beyond means crew, fuel, provisioning and time at sea, plus a shakedown that quietly proves the boat. Plan it into the schedule and the budget from the start.
What the voyage involves
- A delivery crew and skipper for the passage.
- Fuel, provisioning and any port and clearance costs.
- A shakedown that surfaces snags before your first real trip.
Why it doubles as a sea trial
A delivery passage is the boat’s first sustained test under real conditions – a useful continuation of the sea trials described on the build-process page. Snags found now are cheaper to fix than snags found mid-charter.
Budgeting for it
Delivery is one of the costs owners overlook, alongside registration fees and first-year maintenance – all itemised on the cost guide. It is arranged as part of the commissioning programme.

Frequently asked questions
Is the delivery voyage from Bira included in a build?
Delivery to your cruising ground is a separate, real cost involving crew, fuel and provisioning, and it doubles as an extended sea trial. It is planned and budgeted as part of the commissioning programme rather than assumed.
