One of the World's Leading Boat Transporters.Nigel Grayston, chairman and CEO of World Wide Yacht Shipping has enjoyed over 40 years in the shipping business. For most of that time, Nigel has been a keen sailor. It was a love of boats and of shipping that the Grayston family was able to combine to build the unrivalled reputation their company has today. During the past 40 years Nigel and his team have moved just about every type of boat from 17ft RIBs in containers through to 135-ft super yachts. Less than one ton to 300tons and over. Workboats. Super yachts. Majestic sailing yachts and speedboats. “Every boat is different” says Nigel. “Some pose a real challenge, whilst others are less complicated, but they are all exciting to be involved with. Other kinds of freight tend to be more mundane, but boats keep the interest and sometimes the adrenaline going”. WWYS offers a level of personal service rarely seen in today’s fast changing industry. “If we are not suited to do it, we’ll say so” continued Nigel. “Honesty has cost us a lot of immediate business over the years, but I am convinced we have benefitted over the long term. If there are no suitable sailings at the right time we’ll tell you rather than take your money then stall. Many well known operators will do this to try to combine your yacht with others, and whilst the principal of combining is one of the weapons in pursuit of cost effectiveness, it is not acceptable when the client is made to suffer.
