Boat transport
Regarding shipping boats, there are several important factors to consider. You can start by measuring your boat correctly so you can determine the specifics of your boat. To ensure the secure transportation of your vessel, we recommend relying on a dependable shipping company to handle the preparation process.

Powerboat shipping
Transporting powerboats requires understanding their distinctive characteristics to ensure a safe journey to the new location. It is necessary to have specialized equipment, trained professionals, and proper preparation to ensure a successful transport process.
Sailboat Transport
Before sailing boats are shipped, they must be adequately prepared. There are various steps in the preparation process, including lowering the boat's height as far as possible, securing loose things inside, removing the mast and rigging, and shielding the hull and deck. The ship must also be meticulously cleaned and wrapped to guard against damage while in transit.
Yacht shipping
The safety of yachts and all individuals on the road are primary concerns of yacht transporters. Yachts are typically large boats, and transporting them requires adherence to more regulations than moving a smaller vessel. For example, pilot and pole cars must be used if the ship exceeds state or city size regulations.
Small boat transport
Several steps must be taken to transport a small boat, usually shorter than 25 feet. Proper preparation is a crucial aspect of boat transportation. Once the shipment is confirmed and scheduled, the shipping occurs within a week or less. The driver will closely monitor the boat's condition and make periodic stops to inspect and adjust the trailer or towing vehicle to ensure safe transport.
International Boat Shipping
The process of international boat shipping involves:
- Organizing transportation logistics to coincide with sailing schedules.
- Choosing the suitable transporter
- Preparing all necessary documentation for customs clearance.
- Scheduling an eligible booking
Container Boat Shipping
Your boat can be transported internationally for a reasonable price by being shipped as freight on a cargo ship. However, preparing the boat adequately for shipping and adhering to all relevant regulations and documentation requirements is necessary. It may result in costly fines, delays, or even damage to the vessel if you fail to comply.
