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.

Yes. Peters & May participates in an open cover marine cargo insurance programme, which allows us to arrange protection for your yacht while it is being shipped.
