Liferaft courier to Spain - Recommendations?

[colind3782]

These Chandlers sell life rafts and service them https://www.promonautica.com/.
Based in Spain in Barcelona will courier anywhere in Spain or near France for around 15€ I think
Sell anti-fouling cheaper than anyone else I know of in Spain/Gibraltar and speak English

Thanks for that but their cheapest is €1300 and that's on special offer!

Different carriers have different rules on hazardous goods we've found, we ship epoxy resin for some jobs and for some couriers they won't take it others will with no extra charge, you just need to look at their terms and definitions of hazardous goods.

Thanks for everyone's help. A friend is driving down in a couple of weeks and I've ordered a liferaft from Crew Saver for him to take in his car, saving around £500 on local Spanish prices!

While making enquiries locally, I was told by a chandler that liferafts have to be set up differently depending on the flag reg. of the boat. I find that difficult to believe but is there any truth in it?

Bit late now but the yacht chandlery in Ayamonte (Portugal & Spain border) is well stocked and sells liferafts as well as servicing them. I’ve used them for various chandlery items and recommend them. They have an online website to browse for prices at http://www.nauticayamar.com/lifejackets-bouys-and-safety.html#2.
