Questions before you book.
Do I need insurance?+
Most annual yacht policies do not cover transport by sea or road. Marine cargo insurance protects your yacht while she is being shipped, and we can arrange cover through our open cover programme as part of your proposal. We can also refer you to insurance specialists. See customer information for more.
How long is the loading window?+
Each shipment has a 15-day window in which your yacht needs to be available for loading. This lets us consolidate shipments for better rates, as vessels can only be assigned once bookings are confirmed. Schedules can move, so some flexibility on your side helps.
What if I don’t have all the details yet?+
That’s fine. Send us what you have, or get in touch for an initial conversation. We can talk you through the options and firm up the details together.
Can you handle customs and paperwork?+
Yes. Our in-house customs team manages import and export declarations, temporary admission and VAT advice. See VAT, customs & documentation.
Can equipment travel with my yacht?+
Often, yes. Masts, containers, tenders and spares can ship with the yacht or separately. Mention them in your enquiry and we will include them in the proposal.
