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.

I was very happy with the experience of using Peters and May to ship my boat. Leonard Rodriguez did a great job organizing the whole thing. He took time to explain everything to me and was always quick to respond to my questions. The boat arrived to me with no problems.

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.
