Communication Subscriptions

If necessary we can help Captains source cellular phone subscriptions and satellite communications for the yacht, meaning the vessel is less likely to inconveniently ‘drop off the radar’. This includes gathering a list of quotes from different providers, offering our expert insight into which company offers the best service and compiling the paperwork – although many yachts simply arrange this themselves.

Fueling Assistance

Our global network of fuel suppliers allows us to source quotes and arrange anchorage nearby a Captain’s chosen provider – this may be needed when a Captain is in an unfamiliar corner of the world. We can also put Captains in contact with suppliers, so that they can discuss a convenient place and time for delivery.

Berthing Assistance

In a situation where the Captain is not able to, we can help find and book berths, with an encyclopedic knowledge of berth costs and facilities worldwide.
