A common question asked by anyone considering shipping a yacht is how much will it cost?
The reality is that with so many different factors involved with it can be difficult to provide a reliable quote from the get go! Peters & May explain the various factors impacting the cost when it comes to shipping a yacht, shedding light as to why we cannot provide pricing until you have spoken to one of our experts.
Peters & May pride themselves in providing bespoke boat transport solutions to every customer we work with and as a result each project is different. It is based upon individual requirements and unique shipment needs that Peters & May’s experts build into the pricing. Often ‘bespoke’ solutions are associated with higher costs; however, our teams work hard to provide fair pricing for customers. By working closely in collaboration with clients we discuss the costings of various routes and options; weighing up each to ensure we provide solutions that are not only tailored to your shipping needs, but also to your budget.
When you want to cruise down the Mediterranean or the South Pacific, you will need a yacht transport ship. Some companies will carry various cargo as well as yachts and so the number of ports that it will visit may be more. This is good as then you will have more options regarding delivery date and destination. When the ship’s route has to be customized to suit your route or destination port, then you can expect to pay a few thousands more.
The journey might start out well but for an oversized boat, there are many factors to be considered. You have to be prepared for a few delays as in some states, big boats are not allowed on the road after a certain time. So the driver will just have to park and wait for the next morning to resume the journey. Also, insurance is a pretty big factor here and you will have to ask your insurer to collaborate with the moving company to make sure that everything is covered. [links]

Now that you have your own boat, all that you need is the ideal destination to sail it. Unfortunately, as you cannot drive your boat on the road, the way you would do your car, you need professional help to make your cruise become a reality. Boat transport cost is different from car transport cost as there are different factors to be considered for an estimate. You cannot call up a truck service and ask them to haul your (oversized) boat to the destination.

As the boat was a big investment on your part, make sure that the company that you choose knows how to take care of it. The boat will not only have to be protected during the daytime but it will have to be protected while parked at night. Some companies use shrink-wrapping but in case the wrapping has a small tear, it will blow about in the highway and might cause a lot of damage. [links]
Exporting a car to another country is no simple task. Not only are the logistics more challenging, but the laws that apply to cargo transport can be very different from one country to the next. This highlights the importance of finding a qualified, experienced professional when having a car shipped from the United States to Italy. more
For shipping, a vehicle to European countries (or those in the European Union at least) imports are subject to a standard tariff, as well as a value added tax or “VAT.” The most recent numbers indicate the value added tax for Italy is around 22%. more
