Where Do You Operate?

We operate globally, ensuring your superyacht reaches its destination safely and efficiently.

Why Should I Choose Superyacht Transport Over Sailing?

Superyacht transport eliminates the risks associated with sailing, ensures your vessel’s safety, and preserves its pristine condition.

Do You Offer Insurance For Yacht Transport?

Yes. Peters & May participates in an open cover marine cargo insurance programme, which allows us to arrange protection for your yacht while it is being shipped.

This is separate from annual yacht ownership insurance, which provides year-round cover for the vessel itself. While Peters & May does not provide ownership insurance directly, we can introduce clients to trusted marine insurance specialists for further advice.

For more information, please visit our Yacht Ownership Insurance page.

Can I use my own cradle?

Yes – however, this is subject to our approval and as such we will require technical drawings of the cradle. You will need to make your own arrangements to transport your cradle to the vessel. If you don’t have a cradle and are looking to guarantee the safe shipping of your yacht; Peters & May can assist. Our in-house technical team are experts in bespoke cradle design and maintenance, meaning we can develop a cradle tailored to the exact requirements of your yacht.
