The Best Yacht Agency in the Channel Islands!

As the Channel Islands are Crown Dependencies, they are part of neither the UK nor the EU. This allows Bachmann Group to provide numerous benefits to visiting yachts, from low-cost, duty-free marine fuel to freedom from VAT and other expensive government service taxes. The islands boast excellent transport links to France and the UK mainland by air and sea. In addition, Guernsey is widely known as the most northerly island that can comfortably accommodate superyachts in its delightful harbours.  

Common customs and immigration issues (such as temporary importation, charter regulations, clearance, navigational laws and the import/export of spares) are virtually non-existent for crew and guests visiting the Channel Islands. This advantage is in large part due to the fact that the islands are part of the Common Border Agreement that exists between Ireland, the UK and the Isle of Man. Bachmann Group is able to offer personalised consulting services for all customs and immigration requirements.

The Channel Islands (Guernsey in particular) are renowned as a hub of fine dining. Our yacht agency service helps to bring the best food and drink products directly to your galley. Sourced from the most highly-regarded vendors in the local area, these speciality products will be made available to you at the most competitive price point by our dedicated provisioning team.   

As previously mentioned, Bachmann Group can help you source top-quality marine fuel (as well as lubricants) without the imposition of VAT, offering you some of the lowest prices in the whole of Europe on these essentials. Our strong working relationship with Rubis, the largest fuel distributor in Guernsey, ensures that plentiful supplies are always readily available. 

We are extremely proud of our native Guernsey and want to be certain that you enjoy your visit here or to any of the other Channel Islands. To this end, we offer a bespoke yacht concierge service that aims to provide you with everything you need from a knowledgeable guide to comfortable transport or a restaurant reservation. Whatever you require, all you have to do is ask for it.
