Sailboat Transport Specialist

We specialize in mono-hull sailboat over-the-road transports as well as international sailboat shipping. Our trucking service covers all of the U.S. and Canada. Our sailboat trailers are specialty-built to handle sailboats with up to 16′ beams and height and 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.

Setting the Standard for Secure Sailboat Loading and Safe Driving Practices

For any Sailboat Transport, where others use only #6 pads for hull support, we use #10. Where others use only stanchions and cross-members for sailboat transport trailer-cradles, we go further and install cross-chains that add maximum rigidity to minimize any movement and shifting. We use extra-thick felt padding on all of our double insulated strapping, and we always wrap and secure the base of our keels at four angles to stabilize any wide, top-heavy sailboat transport. We set the standard for secure sailboat loading and safe driving practices.

No Substitute for Experience

We make more cross-country truck transports of sailboats than any other 5-star rated yacht trucking/shipping service provider. 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.

Safe Over-the-Road Trucking or via Ocean Freighter Shipping

Our knowledge and experience have helped us to develop an efficient and cost-effective system for sailboat transport overland by truck and internationally via ocean freighter. We handle all facets of international sailboat shipping in-house employing flat racks, containers, roll-on-roll-off, and freighter deck loading. We are very hands-on and will deliver your sailboat to the loading pier, supply our custom cradle system, load your yacht directly to the ship including strapping and securing, all Cargo Risk Marine Insurance and discharge to the pier at the destination.

We also specialize in loading sailboats by crane directly from the water to the deck of any cargo ship and can guarantee the shortest route available for your sailboat’s safest delivery. We also can safely handle catamaran transports; both sailing and power catamarans via ocean freighter shipping.

We offer a full ray of sailboat transport services to prepare your sailboat for shipping when needed. From unstepping your mast to fabricating a custom shipping cradle to shrink wrapping for road or ocean transport.

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.

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!

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.

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!

***** 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.
