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 I use my own cradle?

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.

What happens if there are unforseen changes to the schedule?

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.
