Management
Visiting yacht support
India is a rewarding cruising ground with a demanding paperwork regime. We act as agent for visiting yachts — handling clearance, permits and logistics so a crew arriving after a long passage deals with one contact instead of six departments.
Arrival and clearance
We file ahead of your ETA and meet you on arrival. Customs, immigration, port health and harbour authority formalities are handled as one process rather than as separate visits.
- Pre-arrival notification and documentation filing
- Customs, immigration and port health clearance
- Cruising permit applications and extensions
- Berth or mooring arrangement and shore access
- Departure clearance and onward port notification
While you are here
Bunkering, water, provisioning, laundry, waste and pump-out, crew transfers, visa support, spares import and clearance, and technical assistance from our own yard if something has broken on passage.
Local knowledge
Anchorages, tide and current advice, monsoon timing, and a frank view on which stretches of coast are worth the detour. We would rather you left with a good impression of cruising India than a good invoice from us.
Questions
Frequently asked
Do I need an agent to bring a yacht into India?
Not legally in every port, but practically it saves days. Clearance involves several departments with limited hours, and a local agent who files in advance turns a multi-day process into a single morning.
How long can a foreign yacht stay in India?
Stays are governed by the cruising permit and the crew's visas, which are issued separately and for different durations. We track both and start extension paperwork before either expires.
Can you receive spares shipped to India for my yacht?
Yes. Parts consigned to a yacht in transit can usually be cleared under concessional terms. Send us the shipping documents before dispatch — retrospective clearance is significantly harder.
