LATEST REVIEW

"I hired Dobo to deliver my new X-Yacht 5.6 from the Denmark yard of X-Yacht Company to Portsmouth, England. I was recommended to hire Dobo for the delivery of my X-Yacht 5.6, called Mulan X, by the dealer X-Yacht. I was on the boat during the 7-day delivery. I am very happy to have had Dobo manage the delivery of my yacht. His skills, sense of safety, knowledge of the boat, and ability in the North Sea were exceptional. I strongly recommend him to boat owners for both easy and difficult deliveries of their boats."
