Yacht Transport - Yacht Trucking

Yacht Trucking is conveniently located in Florida the Yacht Shipping Capital of the World. Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale and the Port of Jacksonville handles more international yacht shipments than any other ports globally and acts as a hub for OEM’s, Charter Yachts as well as numerous private yachts and boats being imported and exported from Florida and the US. We offer our clients a complete array of Yacht Trucking and Ocean Shipping Services In-house to expedite yacht shipments to all destinations worldwide.

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 client’s 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.

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 openly to help with budgets and other needs.

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 cost aware and will help you to protect your yachts value without wasting your money where it will not help. In short, we will guide you on when services such as shrink wrap are helpful and when they are unnecessary.

Before obtaining a quote for transporting by ship; a complete and accurate measurement of your yachts dimensions much be taken because most freighters charge based upon total cubic meters and weight. This factor alone causes many shippers to charge additional fees upon departure because they don’t take the care and time to obtain correct figures. Estimating or guessing at dimensions can cause add-ons and increased transport charges which usually cause friction to develop between shippers and yacht owners. Experienced yacht shippers understand the importance of detailed analysis prior to arranging any shipment and can avoid these problems by asking the right questions of an owner up front as well as confirming all measurements independently.

Yacht Trucking has the in-depth experience and port connections allow seamless pickup and deliver to every port in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. We have associations with longshoremen and cranes companies as well as our own loadmasters from Long Beach in LA to Port Everglades in Miami. We also have partners worldwide that take care in handling our global shipments when needed. This can make a difference not only for accurate and complete transport quotes and timely shipments but big cost savings as well that add up quickly especially with larger yacht transports.

Our multilingual professional team of logistics experts and loadmasters are dedicated to providing our clients with safe and efficient worldwide yacht transport solutions. We are leaders in shipping innovation and strive to set the highest standards for our industry. In addition, we are also proud to serve clients as an exclusive Yacht Buyer’s Representative for pre-owned Yacht Purchases in addition to our complete array of transport services. Our cohesive “Purchase/Transport Arrangements” are unique owing to our proficient team’s comprehensive experience in transporting, chartering and brokering yachts.

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!

Robert F., Bluewater Coastal 51' Cruiser > Marathon Key, FL -to- Pensacola, FL >
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.

Jeff D., 56' Viking Convertible > Genoa, Italy -to- Barnstable, MA, USA >
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.

Jeb D., Sea Ray 45' Flybridge > Miami, FL -to- San Diego, CA >
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.

Joseph, B., Pilgrim 40' Trawler> Portland, ME - to- Louisville, KY >
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.

Stephen F., Harbor Master 47' Houseboat > Charleston, WV - to- Clayton, NY >
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.

Paul V., Jeanneau 43' Sailboat > Ventura, CA -to- Palma de Mallorca, Spain >
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!

Dean C., 56' Viking Convertible > Genoa, Italy -to- Barnstable, MA, USA >
***** 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.
