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..
Excellent service!
Excellent service!
This was the first time I have shipped a boat overseas and Peters & May (Craig) could not have been more helpful!
Argo Racing team shipping
I have been working with Peters & May for the past 6 years for all of our shipping needs for the various racing programs I have been involved with, our last shipping movement from Japan to Europe was a tricky one, Kyle and Craig went above and beyond to ensure our complicated movement went as smoothly as possible with clear and regular communication throughout the process, I look foward in continuing work with Peters & May in the future
Shipping a Seawind 1260 Sailing Catamaran from Singapore to Spain
Peters & May provided a good and efficient overall service from beginning to end. We booked all inclusive shipping for our Seawind 1260 sailing catamaran, mast up, with water to water load/discharge from Singapore to Tarragona, Spain, including all agency services, import/export fees and documentation at both ends, a 3rd party load survey, voyage insurance, cradles and divers, basically, a complete package deal with no hidden costs or surprises. The voyage took 3 short weeks with 2 other stops in Turkey and France. Peters & May provided live tracking and e-mail updates for the entire voyage, load masters at both ends to co-ordinate stevedores and ships crew for the loading/discharging operations, and local staff present during loading in Singapore. The Peters & May commercial team were quick and helpful to provide any information via WhatsApp, e-mail and telephone, and if needed, we would not hesitate to book with them again in the future. Many thanks, "KATU" Seawind 1260.
Pleasant and satisfied experience with Luke Webster
Mr. Luke Webster is very helpful and responsive. With his help, the entire process is very smooth. I would love to work with him again in the future.
very professional
very professional communication, management, also the crew and loading process..AAA+
What a great team Peter’s & May are
What a great team Peter’s & May are. They immediately stepped in after we were let down by another major shipping company. I cannot fault the shore side or ship side teams one bit. We look forward to working with them for our next shipping.
Whoever did your paperwork did a good job“ (customs in Dover)
Our private transfer of a Southerly 100 purchased in England to the European continent was less a sailing than bureaucratic challenge! Thanks to the Brexit, the ship must be cleared out at the British customs, presented at the European customs and then import tax and customs duties must be paid. And that means first and foremost forms forms forms forms. And first of all, you have to know which of them you have to have and for what.
Fortunately, there were Johanna and Caroline from Peters & May, Southampton, and Thorsten Johannsen, Nortrail Kiel. All three were super fast and always friendly and a great help with frequent mail back and forth. Big thanks!
Customs and all authorities seemed little familiar with such a procedure, so we felt like a precedent in England as well as France and Germany. Obviously, professional help is a must now. All are rich by one experience!
Would like to say thank you to Peters…

It all went as planed. The preparation for customs was great and the time needed at the customs officer were reduced to a minimum.
THANK YOU for the great job done!
THANK YOU for the great job done!
Usually I don't comment or rate a company, but for the team Peters & May I will make a exception.
The loading and discharging has been done smoothly without stress.
The communication and administrative parts which start a few months before loading has been very well managed and always pleasant.
All mails/Infos were short, precise and uncomplicated.
From my side I recommend this team and will trust them gain if I have to ship my boat!
Best regards Ph. Sommer
The personal service could not have been better.
Leigh in the UK was brilliant from the first time he phoned to when we delivered our little boat into the compound at Eastleigh. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. He pointed out how we could reduce the cost by removing a bracket. When the shipping line altered the quay date after we had set off to deliver, he ensured the shipping company covered to cost of haulage. We wish we had used Peters & May in Oz, Taurus here were the complete opposite.
Peters & May is a trustworthy carrier highly recommended
Peters & May is a trustworthy carrier who with full commitment delivered our yachts safely from Polish to Girbaltar. Bearing in mind that they carry valuable and fragile vessels during the cruise, they made rational decisions to wait out bad weather, without risking crossing through a storm, during which possible damage could occur. We recommend cooperation with this carrier !!!
If your not important they don’t want to know
Rang the company on an unrelated matter and as soon as the saw there was no money, they put the phone down on me, no need to be rude, just be careful of a fickle company

When Timelines matter
Thanks to Mr.Hazet and the wonderful Genoa Team, we won together the challenge to load a yacht after the MYS on the ship.The window to prepare the operation was tiny, a combined sample of good will btween Shipyard,Peters and May and the delivery Captain and Crew allowed to be right in time.
Thanks again hoping to have the great opportunity to repeat the experience to work with you all, hopefully in a wider delivery window.
Peters & May have always gone out of…
Peters & May have always gone out of their way to assist with the shipping of our Lagoons - not an easy task considering their size. We have faced many recent challenges, but have all been overcome with the best solutions possible. Quick responses and always helpful
