So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Top Tips On Yacht Transport

By Marissa Velazquez


Yacht transport services are offered to individuals and companies looking to transport their vessels from one port to another. Inquiries made to a shipping company will usually be categorized in to a number of categories. Commercial, operational and insurance being the three main categories that clients request information for.

Commercial shipping is the most common one. Here, quotes can be acquired online. All that is needed is to access the website of the company you would like to work with. Once at the website, provide the relevant information regarding measurements and size and the cost will be provided to you.

You have to call a firm in order to make a reservation. Other methods such as online booking are also available. When doing so, additional information will be required from you. An inquiry sheet is sent to you which you must fill in and then send it back.

Payment for shipping services can be done in a variety of ways. Thanks to technology, clients can either pay via wire transfers or by checks. There are firms that will not accept payment by credit cards. You must therefore confirm in advance on what mode to use when making payments.

It is possible to receive a discount upon request. However, discounts are not always available. Companies will usually offer discounts during the low sailing seasons. A client will therefore get to pay reduced rates and therefore get to save some money. This is particularly important for clients with many shipments.

The registry of the yacht is a very important document. It contains details such as name, shipping address, country where the ship is registered as well as its technical information. A copy of this document must be provided when making a reservation for your voyage.

Clearance is a must do event when entering the destination. You will notice that clearance regulations tend to vary from one port to the next one. Upon arrival, it is highly recommended that you get in touch with your customs agent. The customs agent will help facilitate a faster clearance process.

Information is also readily available from the agents. Agents can help you understand any additional charges that may be incurred. The amount of money that is paid to the service provider usually goes to handling logistics as well as insurance for this vessel.

It is important to make your reservations early. Making reservations in advance ensure that your vessel not only gets to reach you on time, but that it is loaded without a rush. This is after all the necessary documents have been taken. These documents will include permits and other custom forms which are a must have.

It is always important to communicate a cancellation as soon as is possible. When it comes to yacht transport services, many companies will accept a cancellation provided that it is made following the right channels. It can either be made by sending a letter or Email to the shipper. A cancellation fee may however apply.
