First time xfering something large overseas (boat), or anything. It was a seamless progress in ever aspect. Staff would unsolicitely provide me updates. Moreover, the transition from Lindsey in the UK to Ashley in the USA was timely and again fluid. Even their communication to customs folks went without a hitch. Thank you.

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.

Peters & May provided a good and efficient overall service from beginning to end. We booked all inclusive shipping for our Seawind 1260 sailing catamaran, mast up, with water to water load/discharge from Singapore to Tarragona, Spain, including all agency services, import/export fees and documentation at both ends, a 3rd party load survey, voyage insurance, cradles and divers, basically, a complete package deal with no hidden costs or surprises. The voyage took 3 short weeks with 2 other stops in Turkey and France. Peters & May provided live tracking and e-mail updates for the entire voyage, load masters at both ends to co-ordinate stevedores and ships crew for the loading/discharging operations, and local staff present during loading in Singapore. The Peters & May commercial team were quick and helpful to provide any information via WhatsApp, e-mail and telephone, and if needed, we would not hesitate to book with them again in the future. Many thanks, “KATU” Seawind 1260.

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.

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.
