Hornblower.co.uk

Once you have accepted our quote, we will issue the relevant delivery contract, book your skipper and crew and carry out your delivery at a time to suit you and with a good weather window.

We will work out a price based on the time it will take to get from A to B. Additional costs will be crew travel, fuel and moorings en route.

We will estimate how long it should take to complete the delivery.   We accept that the weather can delay things and will absorb a reasonable amount of delay.   If the delay looks to be prolonged, we will communicate with you to find the best solution.   We are transparent about everything with no fake promises.

We will require an in-service liferaft, in-date flares, boat hook, fire extinguishers, basic MOB equipment and a radar reflector.   We will discuss this with you.

Our crew will always clean your boat at the end of a delivery.   This will include a wash down to the topsides and deck, all used cabins, the heads, saloon and galley.   We won’t be able to detail or polish the boat, but we certainly would like to leave no trace of us having been on board.

This is a very tricky subject with yacht deliveries.   Many skippers/delivery companies do not have insurance but rely on your hull insurance.   Hornblower Ltd has full professional indemnity, employer and employee liability, and public liability insurance.   On top of this, all of our skippers hold a professional third-party liability insurance policy.   Feel free to call us to discuss this.   It can be a very grey area.

As soon as we have the right weather, the right skipper and crew and a green light from you!

f your boat has AIS, then using an app like Marine Traffic will work as long as the boat is in range of land/VHF.   For longer deliveries we will have a Garmin tracker onboard so we can stay in touch with the boat throughout as well as track their progress.

Absolutely not.   We are always happy to help, especially if it gives you peace of mind, more confidence or a solution to a problem.

Yes!   It’s something that Tim loves to teach.   Learning to handle your boat in close-quarters situations will give you the confidence to use the boat more.   1 day is always a good start, and you’ll be amazed how quickly your confidence grows.

All of our skipper instructors are RYA cruising or RYA Yachtmaster instructors.   However, to issue certification, we need to be an RYA recognised training centre, which we are not.   However, we can partner with our colleagues at other yacht schools and issue your certification through them.

Absolutely.   Let us look after your boat so you can enjoy your day with friends.

Hornblower group to be acquired and receive significant new equity investment.

Strategic Value Partners to Become Majority Owner of Company, with Crestview Partners Retaining Significant Ownership

Agreement with Investors Provides for $121 Million in New-Money Financing to Support Ongoing Operations and Total Debt Reduction of Approximately $720 Million

Company's Global Land- and Water-Based Experiences and Transportation Services Are Continuing as Usual and Performing Well with Strong and Growing Demand

American Queen Voyages, Hornblower's Overnight Cruise Business, Will Be Sold or Wound Down, as that Division Has Not Recovered from the Pandemic

Crestview Partners Will Become Sole Owner of Journey Beyond, the Leading Experiential Travel Group in Australia

NEW YORK , Feb. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hornblower Group ("Hornblower" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into an agreement with its investors that will strengthen the Company's financial foundation and position Hornblower for a successful future. Under the terms of the agreement, funds managed by Strategic Value Partners, LLC and its affiliates (together, "SVP"), a global alternative investment firm, will acquire majority ownership of Hornblower and provide a significant equity investment in the business. Crestview Partners ("Crestview") will retain a significant minority position in Hornblower and become the sole owner of Journey Beyond, a stand-alone operating unit of Hornblower and the leading experiential travel provider in Australia . The agreement also provides for Hornblower to receive $121 million in new-money financing from SVP-managed funds and Crestview, and the Company's total debt will be reduced by approximately $720 million .

In connection with the agreement, Hornblower's overnight cruising business American Queen Voyages ("AQV") will be sold or, if a sale cannot be achieved, its operations will be wound down. Hornblower is taking this action because of the underperformance of AQV, which has not rebounded from the pandemic.

These collective actions will enable Hornblower to move ahead with a more focused portfolio, stronger balance sheet and additional financial flexibility, well-positioned to continue driving growth in its core land- and water-based experiences businesses. These core businesses are delivering excellent results and serving thousands of guests every day.

"Building on our commitment to deliver amazing experiences for our guests, Hornblower has grown to become a global leader in world-class experiences and transportation," said Kevin Rabbitt , Chief Executive Officer, Hornblower Group. "We have strong relationships with our government agency and business partners, and our core businesses are performing well with robust and growing demand."

Mr. Rabbitt added, "The steps we are taking today will enable us to address AQV and strengthen our financial foundation as we continue serving our guests and commuters around the world. With the support of our financial stakeholders, we will continue to advance our business initiatives and drive growth. We thank the entire Hornblower team for their hard work and dedication, as well as our vendors and partners across our businesses for their continued support."

David Geenberg , Co-Head of the North American Investment Team at SVP, said, "Hornblower is an outstanding company and a market leader in water-based transportation, tours and experiences, with complementary businesses and long-term contracts in attractive markets. With substantial growth potential in travel and tourism, we see significant opportunities ahead for Hornblower to further expand its leadership position. We look forward to working closely with the leadership team to help support the Company's strong operating staff, excellent service and exceptional guest experiences as we usher in Hornblower's next era of success."

Brian Cassidy , President of Crestview, added, "This transaction is an important step in ensuring Hornblower's future success, and we are enthusiastic about partnering with SVP on the Company's next growth chapter post-COVID. We are also excited about being the sole owner of Journey Beyond, which has incredible growth opportunities ahead."

Information for Guests, Commuters and Customers

Outside of AQV, Hornblower's current services will not be impacted in any way by the transaction:

All services are operating as usual and running on their normal schedules.

Booked trips, excursions, private events and charters, dining and sightseeing cruises, tours and activities and other experiences are continuing as planned.

Guests and commuters can purchase tickets, make reservations, book groups and private events, participate in excursions and utilize transportation services as usual.

Hornblower is continuing to serve its B2B partners and customers as usual:

The Anchor™ all-in-one ticketing & operating system is supporting partners and customers in their seamless digital journey as normal. Anchor Operating System, LLC is a subsidiary of Hornblower Group and an independent entity.

Journey Beyond is operating normally and continuing to serve guests as usual.

Implementing the Agreement

To efficiently implement the agreement and ensure an orderly sale or wind-down of AQV, Hornblower and certain of its affiliates have initiated a voluntary court-supervised and pre-arranged process under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Due to the overwhelming support of its investors, Hornblower expects to move through this process on an accelerated basis and emerge from Chapter 11 in approximately four months.

In connection with this process, Hornblower has received a commitment for $300 million in debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing from Deutsche Bank Private Credit & Infrastructure to refinance the Company's existing superpriority term loan, in addition to the $121 million in new-money financing from SVP-managed funds and Crestview. Following court approval, this new financing, combined with cash generated from ongoing operations, is expected to support the business during the court-supervised process.

Separately, the Company is commencing ancillary proceedings in Canada under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) seeking recognition of the U.S. Chapter 11 proceedings in Canada .

Journey Beyond is not included in the court-supervised process.

Weather in St. Pete

Always keep in mind the weather when planning your yacht rental experience.

While it may rain frequently in St. Pete, the storms are almost always scattered and very short in duration, oftentimes only lasting a few minutes and then the sun is shining again. If you're traveling to St. Pete in the cooler months of the year, be sure to pack some layers to wear while on your yachting trip, especially if you plan to go yachting in the evening. If you're traveling during the summer months, remember to stay hydrated and take some extra precautions when it comes to sun care.

When planning to rent a yacht in St. Pete, your Captain will keep an eye on the weather patterns. The Captain will warn you of any weather that could cause your yacht charter to be canceled, rescheduled, or departure time pushed back. Safety is always our top priority.
