We as Salén Ship Management have used Ushuaia Shipping as husbandry agent since 2018 for both Island Sky and Hebridean Sky and as port agent for both vessels.
The last season was really challenging with lots of ships in port making the port stays complicated but mostly Ushuaia Shipping found a workable solution for us. Their handling of disbursements is efficient and swift which is much appreciated.
Our crew also have nothing but good to say about the boarding clerk and arrangements around the port calls. Ushuaia Shipping has also been helpful in how to best avoid extra costs when taking in provisions etc coming with containers overseas.
We can recommend Ushuaia Shipping to anyone looking for a port agent in Ushuaia.

Having myself used numerous yacht agencies around the world, I understand what separates good and bad service. I also understand what it takes to service a superyacht like Thalia, we tend to have more than an average amount of “outside the box” requests, and require more precision and personal service than your average vessel. However Lucas, Hernan, Gaston, and the team there at Ushuaia Shipping handled it all with easy. I can honestly say that I was amazed at how well you all delivered. The service you provided, the recommendations you made, and the constant help and overall friendly attitude were not just good – but excellent! It took us until we arrived at the bottom of the world to find the best superyacht agency there is and I’m glad we came.
