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.

How long is the yacht loading window?

With all loadings, we give a 15-day window for shipment in which your yacht must be available. The reason for this is based on the consolidation of yachts wanting to ship from A to B during the same period. Through economies of scale we can ensure we offer customers the best rate for shipping if consolidation is an option. Secondly, until all bookings are finalised the vessel cannot be nominated. Vessel schedules can vary, requiring flexibility in loading date.

What preparations do I need to make before the scheduled shipping date?

Before the scheduled shipping date, ensure that your yacht is properly prepared for transport. This includes securing loose items, removing personal belongings, and following any specific guidelines provided by Peters & May. Our team will guide you through the necessary preparations to ensure a smooth shipping process.
