Yes – however, this is subject to our approval and as such we will require technical drawings of the cradle. You will need to make your own arrangements to transport your cradle to the vessel. If you don’t have a cradle and are looking to guarantee the safe shipping of your yacht; Peters & May can assist. Our in-house technical team are experts in bespoke cradle design and maintenance, meaning we can develop a cradle tailored to the exact requirements of your yacht.
While we make every effort to adhere to the agreed-upon schedule, unforeseen circumstances such as weather conditions or port-related issues may cause delays. In the event of any changes, our team will promptly communicate with you, providing real-time updates and alternative solutions. Your satisfaction and the safety of your yacht remain our top priorities.

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.
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.
