Fiscal Optimization, Compliance & Crewing

Navigating the 2026 Regulatory & Financial Landscape.

Protecting your equity through rigorous compliance and tax management.

Strategic VAT

& Customs Management

The single biggest financial risk for a yacht owner is “deemed importation” into a high-tax zone.

  • Temporary Admission (TA): Non-EU residents can bring their yachts into EU waters for up to 18 months VAT-free. We manage the “rolling” of this status to ensure your vessel never overstays its legal welcome.
  • Customs Liaison: Whether moving a vessel between the GCC and the Mediterranean or the US, we manage the customs declarations and “Proof of Status” documentation required to avoid unexpected tax assessments.

Crew Administration

& Payroll (MLC 2006)

The Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) is the “Seafarer’s Bill of Rights.” Compliance is mandatory for commercial vessels and highly recommended for private ones to avoid port-state detentions.

  • Seafarer Employment Agreements (SEA): We draft and manage crew contracts that are compliant with global welfare standards.
  • Global Payroll: We provide secure offshore payroll solutions, ensuring crew are paid in their currency of choice while handling all necessary social security declarations.

Technical Management

& Safety Audits

We ensure your vessel is “inspection-ready” at all times.

  • ISM & ISPS Codes: For yachts over 500GT, we coordinate the International Safety Management and Ship Security protocols.
  • Environmental Standards (MARPOL): As of 2026, regulations regarding discharge, emissions, and anti-fouling are stricter than ever. We provide the advisory needed to keep your vessel compliant with the latest IMO (International Maritime Organization) mandates.
