Dealing with Geoff from Major Yacht Services during our stay in Brisbane was a fine experience, service was 2nd to none.
Australia was a new territory for us, having your agency at our beck & call made a huge difference.
Geoff Majer, managing director of Major Yacht Services has assisted over 750 superyachts on their visit into Australia.
“It’s been incredible to witness the growth of the Superyacht Industry in Australia over the years” Says Geoff Majer, “Especially in the desire for foreign flagged commercial yachts wanting to charter in Australian waters. Whilst previously possible, the cost to implement restricted interest and drove business into the Pacific or New Zealand.”
Thankfully the regulations have relaxed and foreign vessels can now charter in Australia under the temporary licence issued under the newly released Coastal Trading Act 2012
Under this agreement Major Yacht Services can establish all of thenecessary permits from the various departments and can arrange the taxation collectionfor GST on the Yachts behalf
