Brexit - Yacht Ownership, Yacht Registration and VAT
There is a lot of uncertainty as to how BREXIT will evolve and what effect it will have on the yachting industry generally and yacht ownership in particular. Ward & McKenzie are at the forefront of Intra EU issues relating to yacht ownership and, in particular, VAT. We have extensive and highly experienced Experts in each of the relevant jurisdictions so if you have any queries at all about your yacht or your intended purchase please contact Ian Collett on 0044 1728 745344.
Welcome to our new Superyacht Consulting website
As far as News is concerned we can best start with a review of what has been a very interesting and busy 2015. On the Survey front we have inspected some very large yachts including a “Classic” 100m, an Italian built 134m, the largest Sunseeker and several other yachts in the 30 – 60m range. As far as New Builds/Refits are concerned we had our first job at the prestigious Feadship yard and are supervising the refit of 37m yacht closer to home in Southampton. Of particular interest have been investigations into the loss of an Oyster 825, foundering of a CNB 50 and trying to resolve New Build disputes in respect of a large Dutch built motor yacht and a 90’ sailing yacht. Underwriters also continue to keep us busy.
