Sailboat Transport
When a sailboat is prepared for transportation, ensuring the deck gear is stowed away, and lines are secured are the keys to success. If cold weather is likely, you will need to take some time to winterize the vessel. Some models of sailboats will require an extra step or two to ship safely and securely.
Yacht Shipping
Transporting a yacht successfully is not a job to be taken lightly. The task requires professionals who understand and have experience in the area. Decisions regarding the shipping route taken, along with coordinating permits, pole vehicles, law enforcement escorts, and much more, are all critical issues.
