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.
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.
This is separate from annual yacht ownership insurance, which provides year-round cover for the vessel itself. While Peters & May does not provide ownership insurance directly, we can introduce clients to trusted marine insurance specialists for further advice.
