Boat Shipping Florida

Ship your Boat to or from Florida

If you intend to relocate to a completely different city from Florida, you might want to take your yacht with you. However, the truth is that there will be a lot of tears and wear on your vehicle if you go ahead and tow with it. If you assume the personal liability for moving, it might not be a good choice. You should make sure to account for the time that this trip will take because you will have to drive slower, which can make the entire task quite rough.

Alternatively, suppose you rely on a reputable carrier to handle this task for you. In that case, you can rest assured that the yacht will be quickly and conveniently transported without worrying about additional issues. With this in mind, you must make sure that you hire a reputable carrier to get relocated successfully.

Different types of international boat shipping

Roll-on/Roll-off – this is by far the most common method, which requires the loading onto the carrier ship in a cradle or in the trailer. If you don’t have one, we will arrange them for you.

Submersion – the carrier ship is being submerged to a safe distance, and once it is placed in the appropriate position, the submerged transport ship will elevate and surface, loading the boat as it does so.

Lift on/Lift off – A crane is used in this manner to safely and efficiently load onto the ship. This may occur at the port's terminal or on the water. Before being transported, it is locked down.

Flat rack – this is used for large boats in tandem with a custom cradle. The latter is secured to the actual flat rack before the transportation. The entire thing is then loaded onto the ship.

Container – this is one of the most comprehensive and affordable methods to use. There are some limitations placed on the size of the boat based on the dimensions of the container.
