The Dockwalk Guide to Yacht Transport

Louisa Beckett is the former editor of Motor Boating, ShowBoats International, and Southern Boating magazines, and a longtime contributor to Dockwalk. Over her career, she has written about a wide variety of vessels ranging from Sea-Doos to superyachts, and has had many adventures on the water, including riding in a U.S. Coast Guard “rollover” boat in heavy surf off Cape Disappointment, Washington.

Even now, in the third year of the pandemic, we’re seeing headlines about global supply chain disruptions caused by worker shortages and other factors related to COVID-19. In particular, the maritime shipping industry has been affected, with long lines of cargo ships frequently sitting idle as they wait to be unloaded in port.

“It’s a very difficult marketplace at the moment. The freight rates are higher than they’ve been in decades. Congestion in ports is at an all-time high, all these things are affecting our ability to get ships where they need to be on time, and space on ships is at a massive premium,” says Simon Judson, CEO of global logistics firm Peters & May , which organizes passage for yachts on board a wide variety of commercial cargo ships.

• How COVID Has Affected Crew Hiring

Right from the start, the pandemic dramatically transformed the yacht transportation industry. In early 2020, the number of bookings by the usual clients, including owners and captains wanting to move their yachts to seasonal cruising grounds and sailing yacht owners and captains following the regatta circuit, fell off dramatically. At the same time, bookings increased from yacht owners who were unable to travel to their vessels and wanted to have them shipped home instead. Then, as COVID-related lockdowns and sheltering began to fuel the demand for new and brokerage boats, yacht manufacturers, dealers, and brokers around the world began to use yacht transport companies to ship boats to clients who couldn’t get to the vessels or send crew to pick them up. “I think COVID has changed everybody’s way of doing business,” says General Manager Laura Tempest of DYT , which owns and operates semi-submersible yacht-transport ships.

Port closures and travel restrictions also made it difficult for yacht transport companies to move their loadmasters into position around the world in order to supervise loading and unloading. In addition, “We have had a shortage of loadmasters at times when they came down with COVID,” said Uta Scarlata, who handles transatlantic and Caribbean sales for Sevenstar Yacht Transport , which operates its own fleet of 120 cargo vessels.

“Everything about the logistics of shipping a yacht from A to B is ten times harder,” Judson says, but he adds, “As we moved through the pandemic, we learned a little bit about how to adapt. Today we are using what we’ve learned to be better placed. That means making sure we’ve got the right people in the right places a lot further in advance [and] thinking about relocating our cradling and lifting equipment and everything we need to load the boats a lot further in advance.”

While internal logistics such as these typically are handled by a yacht transportation company behind the scenes without affecting its clients, industry experts agree that this year, yacht captains are going to have to act earlier than usual in order to secure transportation for their yachts.

If you do need to ship a yacht overseas, there are two basic means of transport: on the deck of a commercial ship or inside a semi-submersible vessel.

“It’s kind of going back to old days when if you didn’t book well in advance, you are not going to have a space…. People are done [with sheltering]. They are going to start using their yachts whether it be in the Med or in the Caribbean,” says Tempest. “We are seeing all of our repeat customers coming back, and the ones we met in the last year and a half that we didn’t know before are coming back.”

“Every ship that we’ve put on from the middle of last year has been fully booked probably a month before it comes to port. That was never the case before. We would always have some space a week before,” says Judson, who also predicts that demand for yacht transportation will increase in 2022 as owners return to pre-pandemic levels of cruising and racing. “If there’s a reason to book early, it would be to avoid disappointment in the fact that there may not be space,” he says. “To be safe, you should be thinking at least two months out.”

Cargo Ship vs. Semi-Submersible

There are a variety of reasons why an owner or captain would want to arrange to have a yacht transported from one location to another. It might be to change cruising grounds with the seasons, or to take the yacht to an event. Some yachts are able to make the voyage on their own bottom, but others must be shipped because they may be too small or have an insufficient fuel capacity to make the trip, their owner wants to avoid wear and tear on the vessel, or the yacht is booked for a charter in the new destination and the timing is just too tight.

Booking space on a cargo ship gives you the advantage of being able to transport a yacht pretty much anywhere around the globe where that vessel is scheduled to deliver freight.

If you do need to ship a yacht overseas, there are two basic means of transport: on the deck of a commercial ship or inside a semi-submersible vessel. Which method to pick depends on a variety of considerations, including the location where you want to ship the yacht, the flexibility of your schedule, whether or not you want to use the transit time to get work done on board, and the price.

In the most common scenario, the yacht is lifted by crane onto a commercial ship and secured in a custom-built cradle on its deck, where it shares space with other cargo for the duration of the passage. Since cargo ships typically make multiple stops and can experience delays in loading and unloading cargo, it’s important to have a flexible schedule. “Shipping is not an exact science. You can’t expect to ship on a certain day and unload on a certain day. You have to give yourself flexibility,” Judson says.

On the other hand, booking space on a cargo ship gives you the advantage of being able to transport a yacht pretty much anywhere around the globe where that vessel is scheduled to deliver freight.

The other yacht-transport method, pioneered by Dockwise Yacht Transport (now DYT) in the 1980s, is “float on/float off.” DYT’s semi-submersible ships are partially submerged in the water; the yacht floats into it and is secured in a cradle on the deck by divers. Then, the water is drained from the hold. At the end of the voyage, the process is reversed and the yacht floats out.

“When the world woke up with a bang, the amount of consumer goods to be shipped outweighed the space available to ship them. That will take some time to stabilize,” he says.

DYT offers a limited number of routes designed to match typical yacht-shipping patterns, such as from the Mediterranean to Fort Lauderdale and the Caribbean and back. “What I think sets us apart from anyone else is that we have a set schedule — there is no deviation; there is no change. That is why charter yachts depend on us,” Tempest says.

When clients want to ship their yachts off the beaten path, DYT will refer them to its sister company, Sevenstar Yacht Transport, for bookings on board its cargo ships.

DYT recently launched a third ship, Yacht Servant , which was built in China and is scheduled to start transporting yachts in May. For a short window in 2022, DYT will have three semi-submersible vessels in operation, which should help to meet the rising demand for yacht transportation.

Riding Along

Before the pandemic, captains typically could send one or two crewmembers along with the yacht during either type of transportation, enabling them to use the passage as a mini yard period to get a variety of jobs done on board.

While most cargo ships do not permit riders to sleep in their yachts while in transit, before the pandemic, they often would assign them cabins in the ship and let them eat in the mess hall and recreate with the ship’s crew. However, when COVID-19 hit, most ship operators suspended this courtesy in order to reduce the risk of the disease spreading on board, which could lead to serious delays if the ship was forced to quarantine before unloading in a port.

“When things calm down, we will accept riders again,” Scarlata says. On DYT, “We still allow riders as it’s such a crucial part of the service that we offer,” Tempest says. In fact, the semi-submersible ships provide power to the yachts so that riders can sleep and work on board. At the height of the pandemic, however, the company limited the riders’ interaction with the ship’s crew. “They needed to provision their yacht for the duration of the voyage. They had to stay in the yacht and on the deck of the ship; they could not go into the ship’s superstructure.”

• 5 Things You Need to Know About Health Insurance During the Pandemic

One thing that has not changed in the yacht transportation industry is the need for owners and captains to ensure their vessel is properly insured for the passage. “Some people get caught out on this. They think their hull and machinery insurance will automatically cover them. They need to take out a separate marine cargo insurance policy,” Judson says.

Both Sevenstar and DYT include an all-risk insurance policy in the rate they quote for yacht transport. “Usually, one of the questions we get is, ‘Can we leave it out?’ It’s not optional,” Tempest says. “It covers everyone on board and eliminates the need for multiple underwriters.”

Price Increases

Captains booking transport for their yachts today are finding that insurance rates have gone up. “The whole insurance market has hardened over the last couple of years,” Judson says.

As for shipping, no matter what method you choose, you are bound to see a COVID-related price increase. “DYT rates have increased over the past six months. Many factors have attributed to this but certainly a large portion is a consequence of the global pandemic,” Tempest says.

“In the last ten years, freight rates have been very low…. Now the market has flipped a little bit,” Judson says. While there are a number of reasons behind this, the main one is the reduced amount of cargo space currently available.

As for shipping, no matter what method you choose, you are bound to see a COVID-related price increase. 

In early 2022, Judson reported that his company had seen rates for shipping yachts between the U.S. and the Caribbean go up 15 to 20 percent; transatlantic shipping rates had increased a 60 to 80 percent, and rates to and from the Far East had gone up 200 to as high as 300 percent. “Coming out of Asia, every ship is full to the gunwales and if you want some space, you have to pay through the nose for it,” he says.

“There are not as many people who are prepared to pay the increased freight rates we are seeing at the moment. There are a lot of people who are holding back…,” Judson continues. “Not everyone who ships a yacht is a multi-millionaire. We’ve got lots of clients who are dealers, brokers, and manufacturers who are moving their boats where they need to be to be sold as new boats…. I think the people and companies who are shipping their boats now are the ones who have more of a commercial need.”

Smooth sailing: a comprehensive guide to yacht shipping and essential details that should not be overlooked.

Are you dreaming of sailing the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean or exploring the exotic islands of the Caribbean on your own yacht? The allure of yachting is undeniable, but when it comes to transporting your prized possession to these dream destinations, the process can be intricate and requires careful consideration. In this guide, we’ll explore the essential steps and considerations when it comes to yacht shipping, ensuring your overseas journey is smooth from port to port.

Iron Out the Details

Your initial consultation serves as the linchpin in the entire process, allowing you to tap into the expertise of the Legend Yacht Transport team, providing helpful insight and years of expertise not available through many other yacht transportation services. Seasoned yacht owners and first-time shippers alike benefit from our personalized approach, ensuring that each aspect of the transport is meticulously considered and catered to individual needs. Our knowledge and insights extend beyond mere logistics; we provide invaluable guidance on the best shipping options, cost considerations, and how to safeguard your yacht during its overseas voyage. This initial consultation becomes the cornerstone of a successful shipping experience, fostering a collaborative relationship that sets the tone for a seamless and secure transition of your yacht to its final destination.

Apples to Apples Quotes

A critical aspect often overlooked is the careful comparison of quotes from various shipping companies. To ensure a fair assessment, it’s imperative not just to compare quotes but to ensure you’re evaluating apples to apples. Quotes may come with many nuances, including the type of yacht transport , so comprehending the breakdown of costs, the array of services provided, and anticipating any potential additional fees that might surface throughout the shipping process is extremely important. A transparent quote serves as the keystone in making an informed decision, shedding light on the intricacies that may impact your budget and aligning seamlessly with your specific requirements. Beyond the numbers, it is crucial to understand the quality of service each quote represents. By scrutinizing the details, you gain a comprehensive understanding of what each yacht shipping company offers, allowing you to make a choice that not only meets your budget but guarantees a smooth, worry-free transport of your cherished yacht.

Overseas Shipping Options: Charter vs Liner Yacht Transport

Two primary yacht shipping options demand careful consideration: charter yacht transport and liner yacht transport . The choice between the two significantly impacts the logistics and costs associated with shipping your yacht. Chartering entails reserving an entire vessel exclusively for your yacht, offering unparalleled flexibility in scheduling and routing. This option caters to those who prioritize a personalized and dedicated approach, ensuring that their yacht receives undivided attention throughout the journey. 

Alternatively, liner transport consolidates multiple yachts onto a single vessel, presenting a potential avenue for cost savings. While this may be a more economical option, it comes with the compromise of a shared shipping space and a more fixed schedule. Understanding the nuanced pros and cons of each alternative becomes paramount in making a decision that aligns seamlessly with your unique needs, budget, and preferences. Whether opting for the exclusivity of chartering or the efficiency of liner transport, a judicious evaluation ensures that your yacht’s journey across the seas is tailored precisely to your expectations.

Details Count

In our world of yacht shipping, precision emerges as the linchpin for a successful and seamless process. The importance of accurate measurements cannot be overstated, extending beyond the overall length of the vessel to include meticulous details such as davits, aerials, radar arches, and pulpits. Each protruding element plays a crucial role in determining the spatial requirements and potential challenges during transportation. 

Even the slightest deviation in the declared length can cascade into a series of complications. From logistical challenges in accommodating the yacht within the cargo hold to unforeseen delays at ports of call, inaccuracies in measurements have the potential to disrupt the entire shipping timeline. Moreover, discrepancies may result in unexpected charges, adding financial strain to an already complex process. 

Paying meticulous attention to these details isn’t just a recommendation; it is a prerequisite for a seamless and stress-free shipping experience. The precision in measurements ensures that the yacht fits snugly within the allocated space, minimizing the risk of damage during loading and unloading. It also allows for efficient planning of routes and port logistics, reducing the likelihood of delays. 

In essence, the devil truly lies in the details when it comes to yacht shipping. As the yacht owner or manager, you’ll work directly with the Legend Yacht Transport team and collaborate closely to ensure that every centimeter is accounted for, guaranteeing a journey across the seas that is not only secure but also punctual and devoid of unexpected financial burdens. Precision is not just a virtue; it’s the compass that guides the vessel safely to its destination.

Reputation is Everything

Before entrusting your yacht to the vastness of the open seas, a thorough examination of the history and credentials of prospective shipping companies is not just advisable but paramount.

If you’re in the process of sourcing multiple quotes from various yacht shipping companies, it’s important to scrutinize their reputation. A yacht transportation company with a solid track record is more likely to have built positive reviews and testimonials from satisfied clients over time, offering a glimpse into the quality of its services. Look for longevity in the industry, a tenure that signifies stability and adaptability to the ever-evolving dynamics of yacht shipping. 

Experience in the industry is a key metric in evaluating a shipping company’s capabilities. An established history often translates into a wealth of knowledge, a refined understanding of logistics, and a proven ability to navigate the myriad challenges that may arise during transportation. Yacht owners can take solace in the hands of a seasoned operator who has weathered the seas of the shipping industry. 

You Get What You Pay For

In the complex world of yacht shipping, cost is undeniably a pivotal factor that warrants careful consideration. However, a critical adage holds true: you get what you pay for. While the allure of a lower-priced quote may be enticing, it often conceals potential pitfalls that could compromise the overall quality of the shipping service. 

Opting for a cheaper quote may expose yacht owners to hidden fees that emerge as unwelcome surprises during the shipping process. These unforeseen costs can range from port charges and customs fees to unexpected expenses related to specialized handling or documentation. The initial savings can quickly dissipate when confronted with these hidden fees, negating the perceived cost advantage. 

Moreover, lower-cost quotes may indicate compromises in service quality. Yacht shipping involves intricate logistics and the need for specialized expertise to handle the unique challenges of transporting a vessel across oceans. Choosing a service solely based on cost may lead to a reduction in essential services, potentially jeopardizing the safety and condition of your yacht during transit. 

Yacht owners must prioritize overall value and reliability when selecting a shipping service. Investing in a reputable and experienced company might come with a higher initial cost, but it assures the safety, security, and efficiency of the shipping process. Reliability extends beyond the financial aspect and encompasses factors such as on-time delivery, adherence to safety standards, and transparent communication throughout the shipping journey.

Double Check Insurance Coverage

Navigating the intricacies of yacht shipping requires a keen understanding of insurance considerations, as assuming that your standard hull insurance covers all risks during transportation is a common misconception. To safeguard your valuable investment, it is important not to look beyond your insurance coverage and take proactive steps to mitigate potential risks. 

Hull insurance, designed for risks while the yacht is in operation, often falls short when it comes to covering perils associated with transportation. Therefore, yacht owners are strongly advised to verify their insurance coverage and explore additional coverage. At Legend Yacht Transport, we will help you navigate this often confusing topic. 

Thorough insurance coverage is not merely a precautionary measure; it is a lifeline that provides peace of mind throughout the entire shipping process. Knowing that your yacht is protected against unforeseen events instills confidence and allows you to focus on the exciting prospect of your vessel reaching its destination unscathed. By taking the time to understand, verify, and invest in comprehensive insurance coverage, yacht owners can navigate the seas of transportation with the assurance that their cherished possession is safeguarded against the unpredictable elements of the maritime journey.

Communication is key. Don’t hesitate to ask your Legend Yacht Transport team member any questions that may arise during the quote, preparation, or shipping process. Seek clarification on any concerns, understand the logistics involved, and stay informed throughout the process. A reliable shipping company will be transparent and willing to address your inquiries. 

In conclusion, yacht shipping is a meticulous process that demands careful planning and attention to detail. By following these guidelines and collaborating with a reputable shipping company like Legend Yacht Transport, you can ensure your yacht reaches its destination safely and in pristine condition, ready for your next adventure.

The Cost of Transporting a Boat

The cost of shipping and services is undoubtedly one of the first things you think of when it's time to transport your boat. Choosing the right boat transport company is essential to ensure you get the top hauling services at the best prices.

Several factors go into boat hauling costs, including:

● Boat dimensions – The larger and heavier the boat, the more it will cost to transport.

● Distance – Shorter-distance boat shipments require less gas and may not have as many tolls, making the cost of hauling less.

● Oversize Boats – Oversize boats will cost more to ship, not only because of their size but because oversize loads require special permits for safe transport.

The average cost of shipping about per mile is $1.25-$15.00.

Since the cost of boat transport is affected by many varying factors, it's best to speak with a Heavy Haulers shipping agent.

Boat Transport Guide How to Ship a Boat Overseas

The best way to ship a boat overseas is to work with a logistics company, like Heavy Haulers, that has both boat transport experience and international shipping experience. Our dedicated international team understands the ins and outs of customs, preparing a boat for international transport, and more.

There are multiple options for overseas boat transport.

● Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO): This is the most common option when shipping a boat overseas. Roll-on/Roll-off transport has the boat stay on the trailer (whether it’s your personal boat trailer or a heavy-duty trailer provided by the carrier) for the trip.

● Enclosed Container: Most cargo ships and freighters carry enclosed shipping containers filled with various goods. Since the standard dimensions are 40’ long, 7’10” high, and 7’8” wide, you must ensure your boat fits within the measurements for this transport option. While this is less expensive than the roll-on/roll-off transport method, it is less utilized because boats rarely fit within the dimensions. Keep in mind that the trailer has to be included as well.

● Flat Rack: – This is the most common method for oversize boat shipping. The boat is placed in a custom cradle that is strapped into the flat rack and secured to the cargo ship. With this method, high bridges and other bulk items should be removed for safety and to reduce costs.

● Submersion: – The boat is loaded and unloaded directly from the water.

Call Heavy Haulers to determine the best method for shipping your boat overseas. Our international agents will guide you through every step of the process, including winterizing your boat. Shrinkwrapping your boat may also be suggested to keep your boat safe from any minor dings during transport. (800) 908-6206

Common Boats Heavy Haulers Transports

Bass boat hauling.

These low-slung boats have plenty of horsepower and are among the easiest to transport due to their lower profile and shallow hulls. With generous casting spots at both the bow and stern and a smaller "trolling" motor hanging off the bow, these sleek, small craft are perfect for the serious angler, complete with pedestal chairs, live storage, and plenty of space for poles and tackle.

BOWRIDER TRANSPORT

Perfect for day cruises and water skiing, bowriders are all about speed and fun. These are different from cuddy boats as bowriders have an open bow with seating at the help. They're best for water sports on lakes and inland waterways, and not generally used for fishing. Heavy seas or deep water may cause these boats to take on water in the gunwales.

CABIN CRUISER SHIPPING

These fast powerboats have most of the passenger accommodations in the small cabin. With all the amenities, such as toilets, showers, and full galleys, these boats are ideal for a weekend getaway with family or friends. Their size and deep V bottom make transportation a bit tricky, as there is a need to detailed, secure restrains.

CENTER CONSOLE BOAT TRANSPORT

These larger boats may be considered fishing boats, but with their power and deeper hull, they're also ideal for a range of water fun, like water skiing, gunkholing, or oyster tonging. A smaller cabin has enough amenities for passenger comfort, while the center-mounted steering console allows maneuverability and speed. These "do everything" boats are perfect for the angler who enjoys lake, sea, bay, and river fishing.

FISHING BOAT HAULING

All-purpose fishing boats are the perfect choice for the year-round angler. These have a deeper V hull and higher sides compared to a bass fishing boat's lower profile. There's a bit of wind protection and a small walk-through to the front of the boat, although there is no extra seating at the helm. These boats have either a steering wheel or tiller, live storage, and plenty of room for poles and extra gear.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE BOAT TRANSPORT

These speedboats are built to race. The V hull cuts through the water while the performance engines and streamlined shape give an adrenaline blast like no other. Responsive steering and lightweight materials make handling delicate. Shipping these boats involves protecting the aerodynamic contours to retain their speed capabilities.

JET BOAT SHIPPING

When you require to transport materials around the work-site, look no further than Heavy Haulers pick and carry cranes. Our pick and carry cranes match their name with the stress-free operation and strength to pick up heavy cargo plus the navigation mobility to move in taut places.

MOTOR YACHT CRUISER HAULING

Take to the open seas in plush comfort with a motor yacht. A deep hull allows smooth travel through even the deepest seas, while a large guest cabin with luxe amenities ensures that even multi-day trips are comfortable. The captain has two options for steering the boat, an open "flybridge" and an enclosed cabin. These outsized yachts require plenty of space to transport and expert transport service to ensure these expensive boats travel safely.

POWER BOAT TRANSPORT

If you want speed and a fast ride through any depth of water, powerboats, designed for both lake and ocean sailing, are your boat of choice. Fast outboard motors and a streamlined design allow these sleek boats to cut through the waves.

SAILBOAT SHIPPING

Sailboats are propelled almost entirely by sails. Some may be equipped with small motors for emergencies, while others are reliant on the wind alone. Shipping these boats, with their spindly masts and movable booms, can be tricky. These boats can come with a variety of sails and equipment.

YACHT SHIPPING

These luxurious powerboats are the pinnacle of seaside travel and comfort. Some may be equipped with sails to take advantage of the ocean winds. Cabins with plenty of amenities and deep hulls for ocean travel make these large vessels a challenge to load and transport. These boats are typically wrapped to prevent damage during transport.

BOAT TRAILER SHIPPING

Shipping a water ferry boat is a process that will go a lot smoother if you select a reputable company to do it for you. At Heavy Haulers, we have been transporting various types of water ferry boats for a decade.

The length of Cuddy cabin boats ranges from between 18 to 28 feet. Most of Cuddy Cabin Boats come with boat hulls that make it easy for you to move through the water quickly.

HOUSEBOAT SHIPPING

Houseboats are created to be used as comfy homes while having a good time in the sea. Some of the houseboats are not even motorized because their owners tether them to land or keep them at a specific stationary position. They are used more in western regions by families going for holidays or by private owners who prefer living in houseboats all years.

MOTORBOAT SHIPPING

Motorboats come with a variety of shapes and sizes. They are constructed using different materials and equipped with various propulsion materials. Some people also refer to them as powerboats. All of them have common features that include bows, sterns, hulls, and topsides.

A pontoon boat is somewhat flat and relies heavily on floats to remain buoyancy. The pontoons, also referred to as tubes, come with massive buoyancy that allows designers to create extensive deck plans fitted with different accommodations like expansive lounge areas, sun pads, and stand-up bars.

RUNABOUT BOAT SHIPPING

Runabouts are small motor boats that can comfortably accommodate four to six people. Most of the runabout boats are pretty efficient on water and are ideal for a wide array of activities.

A Sinking Ship – World’s Largest Yacht Transporter

Share this article.

Dockwise Yacht Transport has been in the boat delivery business for 21 years. Their semi-submersible vessels operate world wide.

Launched in April of 2008, the China Built heavy lift ship Yacht Express is the world’s largest float-on float-off yacht carrier ( Video ). This amazing ship has opened a regular round-trip service between Florida and the Mediterranean. 18 yachts worth in total some £78 million are being carried aboard the 209m long vessel on its inaugural voyage. Here is information from the owners:

Yacht Express

Design Features This specially designed yacht carrier is semi-submersible in order to maintain the unique float-on/float-off loading method. The yacht delivery carrier will have a length of 209 meter (685.7 ft) and a beam of 32.2 meter (106 ft). The yachts can be safely accommodated between the spray covers in the dock bay, which measures a deck space of 165 meter (541 ft) in length and 31 meter (102 ft) in width. With a deck space of 5,115 square meters (55,060 ft) DYT is able to transport more yachts in one voyage.

Ballasting and deballasting is carried out with four main ballast pumps, each with a capacity of 1,200 cu.m/h at 30 m head. Other pump systems include two fi-fi/general service pumps, each with a capacity of 100 cu.m/h at 80 m head or 210 cu.m/h at 30 m head; an emergency fire pump of 72 cu.m/h at 70 m head; and a 200 cu.m/h ejector pump. Cargo handling is facilitated by a 2 x 10 t crane with an outreach of 15 m.

Propulsion Plant

Propulsion and maneuvering plant consists of two 8,700 kW Wärtsilä 12V38 B common rail diesel generator sets, each driving two Lips azimuth pulling thrusters featuring cp-propellers via two electric motors of 5,100 kW each. Maneuvering is enhanced by a single 1,640 kW bow thruster with cp-propeller.

Auxiliary power is derived from two Wärtsilä 6L20 common rail diesel generator sets of 1,020 kW. Emergency power is supplied by a Volvo Penta D34A MS generator of 610 kW, 440 V, 60 Hz.

The spacious bridge features an integrated bridge system consisting of a UniMACS 3000 with two radar systems with ARPA and two ECDIS, one conning and platform management system, incorporating an advanced DPT 3500 autopilot/joystick system.

Sophisticated

“More important is that this sophisticated yacht carrier is designed to have a service speed of 18 knots”, said Clemens van der Werf, President of DYT, “meaning that a trans-Atlantic voyage from the Mediterranean to Florida/Caribbean with this ultra modern yacht carrier will be reduced by nearly 50% from 15 to 8 days! Owners can enjoy the advantage of extra riders on board to accompany the yacht during the voyage and they can enjoy our state-of-the-art facilities on board. The addition of this new yacht carrier to our fleet implies an important step forward for DYT to improve the quality of services to clients that is based on safety, regularity and reliability.”

Launch completed

The launch of the Yacht Express was a major milestone in the development of the yacht transport industry. On January 15th, 2007 the Yacht Express was skidded from its construction berth ashore, where it was built since September 2005, onto four connected floating submersible barges. The skidding process was completed within 6 hours.

On January 19th, 2007 the barges were submersed and the Yacht Express floated off at high tide and moored alongside the construction berth for further outfitting and commissioning. Dockwise Yacht Transport took delivery of the vessel in October, 2007.

…And for anyone that’s curious: yes it is built to sink .

Our sailboat trailers are specialty-built to handle sailboats up to 75′ in length. We have developed our own “safe system” for loading high keel sailboats and our adjustable trailer cradle systems are the most advanced made for long-haul moves.

No Substitute for Experience

We make many cross-country truck transports per year. Our professional drivers are highly trained for safe loading procedures with all sailboat transport moves, which are the key foundation to any highway haul. We understand the complex State Regulations and always make sure that our oversize permits are in legal order prior to making any move. This ensures that our insurance coverage is in 100% effect; not following laws within each State can cause coverage to lapse so staying legal is of paramount importance.

Preparing for Your Sailboat Transport

We recommend utilizing local marinas, boatyards and riggers to prepare your sailboat for shipping when needed. We have strong relationships with numerous marinas that can provide our customers with direct service of which we will provide advise and/or recommendations if needed.

YT just completed the delivery of our Beneteau 393 from Texas to t he San Francisco Bay area. I was very impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. Not just double checking, but triple checking important items. Their crew was very helpful with the MANY questions I had and provided a lot of details that helped me understand and feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Highly recommended!

Great Affordable Service – they just finished moving my 45′ Sea Ray from Miami to San Diego – very reasonable cost – ahead of schedule delivery – no damage – no extras – Great to find that SERVICE WITH A SMILE (my smile ) is still available in the US. Would highly recommend these guys to move a boat for anyone in need.

***** 5 STAR SERVICE!!! Yacht Trucking did an outstanding job relocating our 40′ sailboat from San Diego, CA to Anacortes, WA. Our driver was extremely professional and took expert care in getting our boat secured for transport. He remained in constant communication throughout the trip, sending daily updates of his progress.  He put all my anxiety to rest and delivered our boat early in perfect condition. There’s no doubt that I will pursue his services again without hesitation.

Yacht Trucking relocated my 40′ trawler from Maine to Kentucky and the transport could not have gone any better. Getting out of the New England States is always a challenge with oversize loads and they worked hard during planning to have the necessary permits and routes without overspending. The driver kept me updated throughout the each day with texts, pics and phone calls as needed to show how the trip was going. Their equipment is first-rate. Highly recommended service.

Outstanding experience transporting my houseboat from West Virginia to upstate New York. Equipment was specialized for transporting boats. The driver really knew his stuff and was very detailed in loading. I felt very confident that boat would arrive safely. Good communication and fair rates. I would highly recommend if them to anyone who needs to move a boat.

Everyone with Yacht Trucking was extremely easy to communicate with and I received excellent service from the driver and loader. We felt very comfortable with the entire process from the minute we signed our contract; to the day our boat was delivered to the port in Port Everglades from Ventura and loaded onto the ship’s deck; all the way through until it arrived in Majorca safe and sound; exceptional people to work with for shipping sailboats overseas.

I was very pleased with the professionalism, price, and service from Yacht Trucking when they moved my 51’ Bluewater Coastal Cruiser from Marathon in the Florida Keys north to Pensacola.  I would definitely hire them again!

Exceptional customer service with top-notch loadmasters that were especially careful when loading my motor cruiser onto the cradle and ship. I have moved my boat across the Atlantic 3 times and this was by far my best experience. I would highly recommend Yacht Trucking to anyone shipping their yacht across the Atlantic or the World and will use them again when the need arises.
