A short note to say thanks for the professional and ethical manner in which you process the Customs and AQUIS requirements for our boat SeaQuill. You made the complexities look simple and removed a whole load of stress and uncertainty. I would recommend your services to anyone you needs assistance with a “Sailing under own power” clearance.
