THANK YOU for the great work that you do for PAE and Nordhavn owners. You and your brother are AMAZING. Low drama, on time, no complaining and the boat arrives in better shape than when you picked it up. We are your huge fans.

We looked up and down the West Coast for a delivery skipper to make the trip from San Diego to Portland. At 60 feet, 70 tons, single screw, and outfitted for worldwide expedition voyaging, I wanted an experienced captain aboard who could both handle our yacht in tight spaces and understand her complex and sophisticated systems. Nikolay answered my desperate call after I had eliminated five other skippers. He showed up the same day and amazed me with quick comprehension of the…

In the spring of 2013 we purchased our Selene 57', "Patience", in Florida. Based on a recommendation from Wayne Jones, the Selene dealer in San Diego, we engaged Nikolay Alexandrov of San Diego Captains to deliver our yacht to Seattle. In the week prior to starting the trip, Nikolay was very helpful in assisting us in completing some of the "survey items" and helping to equip Patience with all of the necessary tools and spare parts that would be required for a 5,000 plus mil…

It has been my pleasure to know Assen and Nikolay Alexandrov for over ten years and I have found them to be the best and most knowledgeable Captains I have ever met. In addition to being excellent seamen and sailors, they are both experts with marine and yacht components and systems including standing and running rigging, gas and diesel engines, electrical, instrumentation and plumbing. They are experts at trouble shooting and repairing anything that can break or go wrong on…

As a new and used boat dealer and lifelong sailor I have great respect for professionalism on the water. I appreciate even more getting reliable service, an all too rare event, on the waterfront. It is with that in mind that I highly recommend Captain Nikolay Alexandrov and his brother Captain Assen Alexandrov. Whenever I have employed them to deliver a yacht the boat arrives on time and in better condition than when they took possession. It gives me great peace of mind to kn…

Assen and Nikolay have been captaining our boats for years. They bring a friendly attitude and a lifetime of experience making them the most qualified captains in San Diego! Want to have your vessel delivered 1000's of miles and arrive in better condition than it departed? Then these professionals are your only choice.

I have been working with Nikolay and Assen Alexandrov for over 12 years now. I first met Nikolay while I was managing a busy sailing school here in San Diego. He came to work for us as an ASA Sailing Instructor and quickly became our top instructor. The testimonials spoke for themselves as clients raved about his level of professionalism, skill and experience. Nikolay had patience, knowledge and a fabulous work ethic. A few years later I had the pleasure of working with Asse…

Captain Nikolay Alexandrov and Captain Assen Alexandrov are the two captains that I would recommend to any boat owner at anytime for delivery of their yacht to any destination in the world. They are the first call that I make as owner of the Beneteau dealership in San Diego when I need to get my boats moved or when I have a customer looking for a long distance delivery. With Nikolay and Assen, my boats and my customers boats are in the best hands and always show up at their d…

The purpose of this Letter of Recommendation is to recommend, in the strongest of terms, both Assen and Nikolay Alexandrov to anyone wishing to utilize their services. During the twenty seven years I have been a yacht broker, new boat dealer and charter company owner, I have hired many delivery captains to operate skippered charters, teach clients to operate their yachts safely and efficiently, and deliver yachts locally or long distance, worldwide. Delivery captains usually…

I have had the pleasure of meeting Assen and Nikolay in 2010. I was looking for a captain to accompany me on my journey from San Diego to Newport, Rhode Island. After our very first interview, I knew that Assen and Nickolay were extremely competent and professional. I very much enjoyed how they approached every aspect of our plan. Due to their vast experience and knowledge, they put my mind at ease. As of this writing we have enjoyed over 8 thousand miles of cruising together…

Just a short note to say many thanks for all of your help in getting La Rochelle ready for the upcoming circumnavigation. In addition sailing together with you both on our 6000 mile plus "shakedown cruises" was exceptional both in your obvious competence, patience and devotion to caring for the vessel. The social times were a definite plus to those voyages! I look forward to many years of sailing together and exploring new oceans. Please do not hesitate to use our family as…

I wanted to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for the way San Diego Captains handled the delivery of our vessel from San Diego to Northern Canada. We know that the meticulous attention to detail you brought to this endeavor and your obvious mechanical knowledge contributed greatly to a successful delivery. I particularly appreciate the time you spent in familiarizing us with the boat's systems and operation upon delivery. I would not hesit…

Nikolay and Assen Alexandrov are two of the most knowledgeable people we have ever known in the marine industry. We can't recommend them highly enough. They are clean, respectful, highly intelligent and a joy to spend time with, on or off the water. They are true professionals. They are also family men, in the highest sense of the word. They are honest, hard working and as solid as they come. Their military backgrounds have served them well. The Alexandrov's are interesting…

Captain Nikolay Alexandrov's performance references are glowing. And now having voyaged with him from Los Angeles to Honolulu I can add my own: Reliable – If he says he can do it, he can. Knowledgeable – If he doesn't know it, it doesn't exist. Pleasant – Great sense of humor, always upbeat. Resourceful – Finds a way to get it done. Safe – Protects the boat and crew. Professional – Serious about his career and clients. Energetic – Willing to do whatever it takes to get the j…

I had planned a sailing adventure from San Francisco to the British Virgin Islands in our Oyster 49. It was important to me to have a well experienced Captain to help with this voyage. It had a number of 'firsts' for me including the coast of Latin America, the Panama Canal and the Gulf of Mexico. I was recommended by a sailing friend to check out San Diego Captains and I was very pleased I did that. Nikolay drove up to San Francisco three months before the voyage to check o…

Captain Alexandrov delivered our 70' Viking Princess to Lake Washington from San Diego. His knowledge of our yacht, the weather, forecasting resources, and in-route ports combined with his wise decision making, seamanship, and boat handling skills made it a worry free operation for us. His number one priority was minimal wear and tear on Lady Linda and she arrived looking exactly as she did when she left San Diego. San Diego Captains will always be our delivery service of cho…
