About

Our company

FLYN-YACHTING is a company created in the summer of 2020 after receiving numerous requests for assistance from yachting professionals caught up in disputes concerning the yachts they manage, all relating to the navigation of these yachts: tax status, sailing duration or distances.

We have therefore devoted development time to fine-tune the algorithms, servers and databases for yacht location.

This phase enabled us to validate the processing chain from the acquisition of position data (yacht name and MMSI designator) to navigation data (route, stopover, zone crossing), location data (in what territorial sea, country, region, department is it and under what tax status) and, finally, the zone of activity (port, shipyard, anchorage) and the maritime regulations governing access to this zone (anchorage bans).

Our assets

To deliver high-end services, our team and our navigation experts are available to answer your needs.

In addition, we have many assets, reliable evidence, to allow you to ensure a safe trip:

  • Nous utilisons des technologies de localisation précises qui sont associées à des algorithmes de premier plan: nous attachons une importance cruciale à la fiabilité de nos produits notamment concernant la justesse des calculs géomatique effectués, par exemple le lieu et la date/heure d’entrée dans les eaux territoriales données). If an inaccuracy is found in the location of the yacht, it is reported in the report and, depending on the duration of the uncertainty concerned, an opinion is issued by FLYN-YACHTING on the overall validity of the certificate delivered.
  • Nos équipes ont une connaissance optimale des règlementations applicables en matière fiscale, légale, sociale, maritime et environnementale et en assurent une veille permanente afin d’appliquer la règlementation de façon précise ou demander plus de précisions.
  • The systematic intervention of expert drafters, ensures the delivery of a document personally verified by an expert, probative (therefore with value as evidence in a dispute), whose model complies with the requirements of the administrations concerned and guarantees your legal and tax security in the long term.
  • FLYN-YACHTING's suite of services and products does not replace your stakeholders, agents or tax representatives, it lightens their repetitive tasks and makes their document reference system relating to navigation and berthing of the yacht more reliable.

Our requirements

All certificates issued by FLYN-YACHTING or “products” are drawn up, checked and countersigned by a navigation expert.

When AIS observation of the yacht's movements alone is not enough, FLYN-YACHTING, via the service contract, makes the correct preparation of the product conditional on the declarations of the shipowner or his captain, for example: type of contract, commercial or non-commercial nature of calls, passenger movements, additional navigation outside AIS range, etc.

It is up to the professional who ordered the product to ensure the adequacy of the yacht's situation - for instance it's tax situation, it's ability to carry out commercial navigations, it's previous year declaration or have it confirmed by the tax or customs expert of the shipowner or other yachting professionals. Except for some "real time" alert services, no FLYN-YACHTING product is automatic: there is always an expert behind.
