If you are thinking of buying a yacht we can assist you at every step from purchase to ongoing management. Through our network of contacts with yachting vendors across Europe and the USA we can source the ideal new or pre-owned vessel for you at preferential rates.

If you already own or operate a yacht you will be aware of the complex financial and regulatory responsibilities that come with it. Through careful financial planning we can help you with these demands in order that you may enjoy the experience to the full. We can guide you safely through the process by devising a bespoke wealth management strategy that works within today’s taxation and regulatory frameworks.

If you bring your yacht into EU waters VAT is something that cannot be ignored. The Hamble Group can advise on all VAT matters concerning yacht ownership. We can design a tailor-made solution that offers passive VAT tax deferral opportunities yet permits free circulation within the EU.

The Hamble Group is highly experienced in devising the most suitable tax and VAT structures for yacht owners. We approach each case individually to ensure clients’ objectives are met without being exposed to dangerously aggressive structures which could compromise them in the future. Over the years we have witnessed a number of dubious VAT structures which have attracted the wrath of EU tax administrations leading to a number of yacht owners being held personally to account and, in some cases, yachts being impounded.

Through our global network of offices we can provide complete ownership solutions for yachts in and out of the EU optimising the jurisdiction in which to register/acquire the vessel in a manner which minimises, or in many instances, reduces to zero VAT and duty rates.
