With VYC’s vast knowledge of the industry they have worked hard to create partnerships with some of the best known and most respected sources of both products and services.With these strong partnerships in place we are able to provide yachts with many options for the task at hand, therefore giving captains only a decision to make on which price, product or service fits with the required standard or time constraint. It is easy to how this will save both time and money, without substituting quality. With two decades of diverse experience within the industry we understand each yacht program is unique. VYC prides itself in ensuring that each project undertaken is executed in a personable fashion.Due to the relationships with their partners VYC do not mark up the prices of the products and services they offer, in many cases the final cost is lower than would be found inquiring direct to our suppliers.With that said there is no cost or harm in allowing us to save you time and money.Please see below for just a few of the many services we are currently able to provide:- Running Rigging- Deck Hardware - Global Refueling Service- Part Sourcing- Shipping Logistics- Freight Forwarding- Doyle Sails Agent- Port Clearance- Canal Passages (Panama / Suez)- Onboard Security- Crew Uniform and Technical Clothing- Safety Equipment (supply and service) Mostrar menos
