Aberton Yachts has access to international crew bases with hundreds candidates. Based on a yachts owner wishes, personal approach and other tasks, we carry out a preliminary selection of dozens of potential candidates and present a list of professional skilled crew for further interviews and finally owner approval.

Third party liability insurance is a minimum a yacht should have for navigation and any operations in any country. This type of insurance guarantees any third party compensation for damage if the owner of the insured vessel is the culprit or the defendant in the insured event. For instance, this insurance will be required even for yacht berth contract or entering any marina.

99% of yacht owners prefer “hull and machinery” insurance policy. This type of insurance guarantees the owner compensation for damage regardless of the causes, source or the culprit of the damage/loss. One of the reasons for the purchase of this insurance product is the low average insurance premium rate (0.6-0.8% of the cost of the vessel) and the high cost of the insured asset.

Finding quality health insurance for professional marine crew member can be challenging. The yacht navigation and the marine crew career has no geographic limits. at the same time, this moment is extremely important, since it should not leave blank spots in the issues of guarantees of risk coverage for crew members and their families. That's why we my offer a comprehensive plan that will work worldwide, and offer substantial protection.

Legal work in relation to the sale/purchase of a vessel can be very roughly divided into two categories: the acquisition of a existing vessel (new or preowned) and the construction of a new one. The purchase of an existing yacht is carried out in accordance with certain market standards (MYBA/FYBA), but despite the relative simplicity and transparency of the schemes, it has a significant number of nuances that are important to control and observe. The contract for the construction of a vessel (new build contract) and the journey through all stages of construction is a completely different task in terms of volume and complexity, which requires not only legal support, but also regular participation of surveyors and experts.

Depending on the form of ownership, tax residence, citizenship and other input data, we offer registration of the vessel under the appropriate flag, which gives certain advantages to the owner of the vessel and does not impose significant restrictions or limitations on the vessel's presence in the required region territorial waters (for example, 18 months in EU waters for yachts under the non-EU flag). Opening and maintaining companies, assistance in obtaining the necessary documents for vessel registration, tonnage measurement, etc. are only a small part of the volume of support provided.

Perhaps the most common way of transporting motor yachts up to 65 feet long. The advantages of this type of transportation are almost unlimited geography (isolated reservoirs), relatively high speed, developed infrastructure and transport fleet. Disadvantages - significant restrictions on the length and height of motor yachts that can be transported, transportation planning taking into account the road network, the height of bridges, the need to obtain permits for the transportation of oversized cargo, risks of damage to cargo when driving on public roads.

The only option for long-distance transportation, especially if we are talking about different continents, is sea ship transportation. With proper packaging and preservation, this transportation is the least stressful for the transported vessel, there is the least risk of damage and relatively low insurance risks. Among the disadvantages, it is worth noting the high probability of noticeable postponements of loading dates (up to several weeks) and delivery, respectively), relatively low speed of transportation.

In some cases, the situation develops in such a way that the fastest and least expensive is the delivery of the vessel under its own power. This may be due to the inconvenience of loading or unloading, the waiting time of the vessel, the relatively small distance between the points. In such cases, our task is reduced to the selection of the distillation crew and registration of the vessel at the ports of departure and arrival and along the route. For motor yachts over 50 meters long, this option is most often used, since their power reserve most often refers to transatlantic and allows you to cover any distance and gives almost complete freedom in relation to the required navigation schedule.
