Can You Transport Multiple Racing Yachts For A Team Or Event?

Do You Have Experience With Challenging Logistics Situations?

Our track record includes successfully navigating challenging logistics scenarios.

Do you offer yacht insurance?

There are two different types of insurance typically associated with yachts: insurance relating to transport, and insurance relating to ownership of the vessel.

Peters & May specialises in yacht transport and participates in an open cover marine cargo insurance programme, which allows Peters & May 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 we do not provide ownership insurance directly, we can introduce clients to trusted marine insurance specialists who arrange bespoke policies for yacht owners, captains, and management companies. These policies may include cover for:

  • Hull & Machinery
  • Liability (P&I)
  • Cruising region extensions
  • Crew and operational risks
  • Racing cover (where relevant)
