I have been working with Peters & May for the past 6 years for all of our shipping needs for the various racing programs I have been involved with, our last shipping movement from Japan to Europe was a tricky one, Kyle and Craig went above and beyond to ensure our complicated movement went as smoothly as possible with clear and regular communication throughout the process, I look foward in continuing work with Peters & May in the future

This is the 2nd time we have put a boat on sea transport via Peter and May.. The company arranged everything for us from A to Z.
Even when the transport dates turned out to deviate a lot, they looked for and arranged a solution.
Inge thank you so much for your efforts.

I work as a Yacht Broker and on behalf of my client arranged the delivery of a 60ft wooden schooner yacht built in 1882 from UK to South Africa, via road transport to Antwerp. It has been a challenging project but made a lot easier with Peters and May. The communication from Lindsey in the UK and the rest of the team has been excellent. I would have no hesitation to recommend their services. Great job.

What a great team Peter’s & May are. They immediately stepped in after we were let down by another major shipping company. I cannot fault the shore side or ship side teams one bit. We look forward to working with them for our next shipping.

Despite some delays in arriving at Southampton to load and again in Malta to discharge (unavoidable), the whole process was incredibly professionally run. Seeing our new catamaran being craned on to the cargo ship was quite daunting, but the large team on board knew exactly what they were doing and instilled total confidence. So, not something you do every day, but I’d have no hesitation recommending and using Peters and May again should we decide to move our boat to another part of the world.
