International legal practice with a Ukrainian foundation

Yacht financing

Structuring and legal support for yacht financing transactions across jurisdictions

Yacht financing involves complex legal and financial structures requiring coordination between lenders, owners, insurers and registries across multiple jurisdictions. We advise on the structuring and implementation of financing arrangements, helping clients ensure enforceable security, manage risk and execute transactions efficiently.

Key considerations

Improperly structured financing may result in unenforceable security, regulatory restrictions or exposure in case of default.
We help clients mitigate these risks and maintain legal control over financing arrangements throughout the transaction lifecycle.

We assist with:

  • structuring financing models, including bank lending and alternative financing;
  • legal support for acquisition, construction and refinancing of yachts;
  • preparation and negotiation of loan, security and related finance documentation;
  • registration, amendment and release of mortgages and other security interests;
  • advice on jurisdiction, flag state and registry requirements affecting financing structures;
  • alignment of financing arrangements with insurance and charterparty obligations;
  • compliance with financial covenants and borrower obligations;
  • enforcement strategies, restructuring and support in default scenarios.

We act for:

  • shipowners and yacht owners
  • lenders and financial institutions
  • investors and financing partners
  • ship managers and operators

Our Approach

Deep knowledge of law and the industry

Rabomizo works with the norms of international maritime law and national maritime codes of various jurisdictions, grounded in a deep understanding of shipping operations and the commercial realities of the industry.

Experience in dispute resolution in international jurisdictions

We have represented clients in London, Greece, Turkey, Ukraine, Switzerland, Oman and other jurisdictions.

Rapid response in crisis situations

We promptly engage in communication with the parties involved, prepare well-grounded responses and develop a defence and negotiation strategy at any stage of the process.

Understanding of shipping operations

Our solutions take into account not only legal aspects but also the practical side of a shipowner’s or operator’s business. Clients do not need to spend time explaining – we understand the complexity of maritime processes and provide full support.

About us

Rabomizo law firm advises businesses engaged in transport and international trade, operating where assets, goods and services are crossing borders and changing the legal regimes. We support our clients in structuring solid business agreements, managing the risks and making decisions within complex multi-jurisdictional frameworks.

If the claims, delays, sanctions, restrictions, or disputes arise, we develop and implement a legal strategy, representing clients across the jurisdictions and legal systems. Our work combines sector knowledge with a clear understanding of the international regulatory environment.

We do not propose standardised solutions. We analyse the risks, assess the legal and commercial exposure, and provide clear, commercially grounded advice in cross-border matters.
