Purchasing a yacht is a major acquisition which requires careful planning and consideration. As a dedicated provider of these services we are positioned to assist at every level.

​

We enjoy a close working relationship with Registry Authorities and are one of a small number of companies approved as a Representative Person. Our professional services go beyond yacht registration and include ownership structuring that provides for beneficial VAT planning and tax mitigation (and/or deferral). We are also able to arrange for yacht finance and vessel insurance, and will take care of any project management requirements in addition to the day-to-day maintenance and management of the vessel. In short, we are able to take care of all aspects of yacht ownership providing owners with a single and dedicated point of contact for the ongoing management of their vessel.

 

MARINE FINANCE:

 

Often the most cost-effective and attractive way to finance a yacht purchase is via a marine mortgage. This enables owners to retain their liquid assets and avoid tying up too much in the yacht itself.

 

Finance can be arranged to purchase both new and used yachts or simply to carry out a refit or purchase new equipment. Whatever your requirements are, our network of marine finance specialists can tailor these to suit your individual circumstances.

 

INSURANCE SERVICES:

 

As a valuable and prized asset, it is imperative that all of our clients' yachts carry fully comprehensive insurance against all marine risks.

 

Universal is able to provide favourable terms through our own underwriters and 3rd party specialist brokers and underwriters whilst ensuring the maximum level of cover for our clients and their yachts.

 

PROJECT MANAGEMENT:

 

A new build is a significant technical and logistical undertaking. We are able to co-ordinate the build on your behalf by working closely with the project manager from the outset.

 

We can help ensure that the project runs smoothly, is completed on time and on budget, while facilitating the transmission of stage payments.
