Specialized Boat Transport Equipment
Yacht Trucking offers clients a fleet of new semi-trucks with specialized air-ride, lowboy boat trailers to provide the safe and reliable yacht transport. We are the only U.S. DOT Licensed Carrier that handles oversize over-the-road yachts transports throughout all of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico all in-house. With our ocean yacht shipping partners, we can transport you by road to any port throughout North America and then continue on shipping your yacht via freighter to all ports and destinations throughout the world.
For oversize, over-the-road trucking, our equipment is air-ride, not spring-loaded which provides a much smoother ride for your boat. Both 53′ and 45′ lowboy trailers safely support larger oversized boats up to 70′ and we offer adjustable cradle support systems to accommodate any type of hull design. For boats that are already trailered bunk style, we offer Ford F350 or similar dually pickups capable of towing a boat and trailer with up to 20,000 lbs. Our fully submersible trailers are available to move smaller boats usually on very short notice. We offer sturdy aluminum boat trailers that can accommodate vessels up 42ft in length and are able to pull boats out of the water as well as launch them by water.
Safe and Efficient Professionals
We strive to offer our clients a very friendly and professional transport experience. We hire and train the most capable, motivated drivers and then furnish them with the best, top-level equipment. Their training includes our unique “safe loading procedures” for various boat and sailboat models. Our drivers are very personable and seamlessly communicate with their clients along every step of their transports progress. We constantly revise and innovate our methods of shipping to reflect the highest standards of the yacht transport industry. Our entire team is 100% focused on customer satisfaction. In short, we’re hands-on, goal-oriented, logistic’s professionals who keep your yacht’s security and safety at the forefront of our mission.
Our loadmasters are experts in crane operation and rigging for cradle loading shipside. They often travel to distant ports for a single loading or unloading of a clients yacht to ensure that the yacht is handled properly to avoid any damaging situations that can occur when these procedures are left to a third party. Again, Yacht Trucking is “hands-on” because we have the knowledge and experience that others haven’t earned and these attributes make all the difference between a smooth, trouble-free, transport as opposed to having crucial details left to unconcerned parties.
Most Qualified Personnel Within the Transport Industry
Most of our team members are multilingual and are dedicated first and foremost to building a professional relationship with our clients. Many of our customers are not first-time shippers and they have learned to have confidence in our team’s abilities to find common sense solutions where others have failed. We specialize in difficult, oversize and over-height yachts that require thinking outside of the box to make a move happen on-time and on-budget.
Complete Services for Shipping as Well
Our custom cradles for international shipping are fabricated in-house to conform individually to your boat’s hull. Special padding is always applied beneath all tie-down straps and in addition, extra padding is added to protect any possible impact points that may invite easy damaged during transport. We offer container boat shipping, roll-on-roll-off, and freighter deck shipping. What works best for your yacht depends on several factors that we discuss with you in detail to help form realistic budgets that work.
We offer a mobile shrink wrap service for both shipping and trucking that are custom tailored to the specific needs that each different transport requires. We are very efficient and strive to help you protect your yachts value without wasting money where it will not be effective. In short, we will inform you best as to when services such as shrink wrap are helpful and when they are not necessary.
Detailed Preparation – Key to Success
We offer experienced and knowledgeable advice on how best to transport your yacht. The dimensions of a boat and what extendable parts are easily removable along with the origin and destination are normally the determining factors as to what mean of transport is most suited. Yacht Trucking is your one-stop, in-house, resource for all your boat, yacht, and sailboat transport options. We often import yachts from Europe by freighter and then seamlessly convert their transport to trucking for final delivery. Often, we have the need to receive a yacht at an eastern port in the U.S. and then deliver it by truck to a California location. Whatever the need, wherever the destination, we are the single carrier to make your yacht transport a logistical and budget success.
For a frank and honest conversation about how to best transport your yacht, please contact us today. We have the professional service you deserve.

YT just completed the delivery of our Beneteau 393 from Texas to the 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!

***** 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.

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.

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.

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.
