When shipping smaller items to Bermuda it is easier and safer to use one of the major courier companies (FedEx, DHL, UPS).  *For larger shipments please contact us for air freight information. The St. George’s Marina charges $5 for receiving documents and $15 for receiving packages.

Please follow the instructions below to avoid delays at Customs or with delivery.

Shipping Address:

“Name of Vessel” + “Yacht in Transit”*
#9 Ordnance Island
C/O Bermuda Yacht Services Ltd.
CAPS ID #102034
St. George’s GE 05
Bermuda

* Most courier shipments reach Bermuda in a couple of days, however, for ‘Yacht in Transit’ shipments, it can take a couple of days more to get the items released.  If the items being sent are of low value it may be worth removing “Yacht in Transit” from the address and paying the duty (25% of the value) if you want to receive the item a bit sooner.

Instructions:

  1. Use the above shipping address, and send an email to info@bdayacht.com to let us know (1) your date of arrival into Bermuda, (2) that you are using our address and (3) the tracking number.
  2. Ensure your email address and your phone number are clearly marked on the shipment documents – the courier company in Bermuda WILL require an invoice for your shipment to clear Customs and they will request it directly from you.
  3. As soon as you receive your tracking number and invoice, send an email to the appropriate courier company (see addresses below) and include the tracking number in the subject line.  See draft email template below.
  4. The invoice you send them should be:
  • Clearly written (or typed) on company letterhead
  • Show individual and extended costs
  • Show any discounts clearly
  • State currency used
  • Show proper values for all items, including “no charge” items
  • Signed as “True and Correct” if a Commercial Invoice
