FAQs

At Peters & May, we know logistics can be complex. Our FAQ covers everything from yacht shipping and customs clearance to handling dangerous goods and worldwide freight forwarding. If your question isn’t listed here, please get in touch with our team directly.

Can Peters & May arrange customs clearance as well as storage?

Yes. Peters & May provides customs clearance, documentation support, international freight forwarding and onward distribution alongside bonded warehousing.

Do I need insurance?

Generally, annual yacht insurance (such as hull & machinery policies) covers normal boating activities but does not include protection during transport.

For yacht shipments, marine cargo insurance can be arranged to protect your yacht while it is being shipped. Peters & May participates in an open cover marine cargo insurance programme to support this.

If you would also like to review or arrange annual yacht ownership insurance, we can introduce you to trusted marine insurance specialists for further advice.
