Yes, we take care of all customs requirements on your behalf, with a dedicated customs team providing advice on boat customs and VAT.
How Can I Get A Quote For Yacht Shipping?
Request a quote through our website, by email, or by calling your local office. We will guide you through the process.
Can You Assist With Customs And Clearance For Racing Events?

How Do You Ensure My Yacht's Safety During Transport?
Safety is our top priority — we use specialised equipment and expert teams to guarantee your yacht's security.
What About Customs and VAT Associated With Shipping?
Our in-house Customs & VAT Manager is knowledgeable in current legislation and can support you step by step, or take the paperwork off your hands entirely.
Do I Need Insurance?
Annual yacht insurance typically excludes transport. Marine cargo insurance can be arranged separately through our open cover programme.
How Long Is The Yacht Loading Window?
We give a 15-day window for shipment, based on consolidating yachts on the same route for the best rate and to accommodate vessel scheduling.
