WHY SHOULD I HAVE MY YACHT SHIPPED RATHER THAN CRUISING ACROSS THE OCEAN?

WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS OF RENTING SUPERYACHT TENDERS AND TOYS?
Leveraging both
the global response capabilities of Cospas- Sarsat rescue services and AIS technology, AIS EPIRBs and PLBs are a significant advance in marine safety. These 406MHz beacons provide an advanced and powerful tool for alerting nearby AIS-equipped vessels of a beacon position, or a boat- to-boat rescue situation, for immediate aid. The AIS position is also transmitted with enhanced resolution compared to the 406MHz message. Delivering the highest chance of rapid local or global rescue, the devices ensure increased speed of response to aid in an emergency. At Ocean Signal, our new compact AIS EPIRBs and PLBs
devices combine additional integrated technologies for the first time. The units include Galileo Return Link Service compatibility, so survivors can now expect to receive confirmation
that their distress call has been received.
Managing biofouling on ships has long been a challenge, with an
increasing focus on robotic technology to provide cost effective, scalable solutions. The shipping industry is moving to robotic technology for
fast, efficient hull cleaning services, removing the need for dry docking, or deploying human
divers at higher risk and cost. Biofouling is not only a challenge in the commercial shipping
world, with the impacts of biofouling equally felt in the superyacht industry, including hull depreciation through aggressive
maintenance activities, increased emissions
contributing to higher fuel burn and costs, and the negative environmental impact, including the risk of invasive marine species transfer. Increasingly the superyacht industry is
looking to build and operate in a more sustainable way, and having a small, resident hull cleaning robot onboard is the next step towards this.
Yacht transportation is no easy feat. While
there are a few options to consider, there are several factors equally pertinent to bear in mind; cost,
time, safety, and potential damage. Although your yacht may be capable of sailing the open waters for extended periods of time - whether it is skippered by you or hired crew, it can take its toll and cause wear and tear on the yacht. Having your yacht shipped professionally saves you unnecessary costs associated with the passage, such as engine hours, crew, and fuel expenses, as well as time. From yacht- specific enquiry forms to insurance arrangements, Peters & May have the experts in place to ensure a faultless transportation process every time. Our loadmasters have industry- approved qualifications and work in tandem with the technical support
team to tailor each lift to your yacht’s needs. The question is, which is more important: the destination or the journey?
We started the
Superyacht Tenders and Toys rental division in response to consumer demand. With the
expectations of charter guests continually rising and changing, the hire of toys rather than the financial commitment of purchase makes perfect sense. There are numerous benefits, the main being the ability to provide charter guests with a
wider than usual selection of watersports. Giving a personalised experience whilst impressing with the latest toys and models should, in turn, maximise charter income. All yachts experience last-minute guest requests and changes to plans. With our rental service, we can deliver and pick up toys anywhere at short notice. In an effort to
keep environmental impact down, all rental toys
from SYTT are electric or inflatable, which are also efficient to maintain. Aside from charter benefits, hiring toys also gives you the perfect opportunity to ‘try before you buy’.
