North america, the mediterranean, the caribbean, south america, client testimonials.

Very rarely do I get to have such phenomenal experience with anyone in the boating industry… But the experience with Paul–Cross Chartering Yacht Transport was nothing short of spectacular. The timing, the care, the professionalism…. Makes me wanna buy another yacht just so I can ship it with him haha. Feel free to send people my contact info for referrals. A++++ all the way <3

The team at Cross Chartering Yacht Transport safely and efficiently moved 96′ S/Y Symmetry from St. Thomas to La Paz. This was our second voyage with Paul Haber and his group. Even our grumpy captain was happy, that rarely occurs!

Initially, I received 3 shipping quotes; Paul’s was a good amount cheaper so I was skeptical but man was the experience incredible!!! The attention to detail was beyond professional. Unlike other shipping companies that book you and then you only hear from them twice (loading day & delivery day). Paul has an entire team that was in-touch with me almost daily. He treats your boats like his own and I will never use or recommend anyone but Paul and Cross Chartering!

Sailboat Trucking and Global Shipping Services

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 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.

For a frank and honest conversation about how to best transport your yacht, please contact us today.

We have the professional service you deserve for your Sailboat 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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

***** 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.

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.

We pride ourselves on our transparency, always providing clear and comprehensive quotes, ensuring you have all the information you need to make the best decision. Call now! (800) 908-6206

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

BOAT TRANSPORT 101: DETERMINING THE BEST SHIPPING PROCESS

Determining the best boat transport options for you is based on many things. What kind of boat are you shipping? Where are you shipping it to? When do you need the boat delivered? Are there tolls involved? These questions must be answered when transporting a boat as each of these factors, and more, go into boat hauling costs. A shorter boat transport will be less than a cross-country boat haul. Oversize boats, such as yachts, require specialty permits and route planning.

Texas Boat Transport

Texas Boat Transporters and Haulers don’t have it as easy as you would think transporting oversize boats in Texas. You would think that being the largest state in the union, the state would be wide open and transporting boats would be a cake walk. Wrong! It seems whenever a Boat Transporter applies for a oversize boat permit the driver is regulated to using secondary roads. Can you imagine transiting Texas on highway 10 clear across using two lane roads! Not fun. While transporting oversize boats in Texas as in all other states haulers are required to have in hand a current oversize permit and to operate under the guidelines outlined in them.

• In Texas a boat is considered oversize when the width exceeds 8.6 feet wide and if the boat is over 13.6 feet tall when loaded. When the boat is loaded means that after the vessel is on the transport trailer the overall height is determined at that point. Texas Boat Haulers should be aware of these regulations.
• General hours of operation are from sunrise to sunset. Curfews are maintained in major cities.
• Texas requires a pilot car if the boat exceeds 14 feet wide and 14 feet tall overall.
• When transporting boats in Texas a boat transport company has general rules if the boat is over 12 wide or not legal in height the route used will be secondary roads.

• Height is measured from the keel (the lowermost structural beam) to the highest part of the vessel. The highest point should not include any removable parts of the watercraft.

Top Yacht and Boat Transport Companies: Boat Transport Shipping Services

Hiring a reliable boat hauling company is the best and most efficient way of shipping a vessel without any problems. While it may be tempting to do the job yourself, especially if you have your own vessel trailer, logistics for longer distances is better done with the help of professionals who have the necessary logistics and know the best way to handle the shipment process.

Utilize Professional Boat Shippers:

Professional watercraft shippers have their own trailers that are specially designed for your particular type of boat, as well as for the rigors of a long-distance shipment.

Most yachts are expensive, and shipping them requires careful handling and attention, particularly when it comes to water haulage. Our company has been providing this service for many years, and we understand that the role of any boat movement company is to help people transport their watercraft safely and efficiently to the desired location at a reasonable haulage rate. When it comes to long-distance carriage, there are many factors to consider, especially when it involves container shipping across the ocean for import and export.

This is where our expertise and knowledge of the market come in handy. We can provide you with a list of suitable options that will meet your requirements, and our ultimate goal is always to deliver your ships safely and securely, while also helping you save money. If you're looking to transport your vessel, here are a few things you may need to consider:

• the first step is to determine your boat shipping requirements, including measurements of the hull, pickup, and drop-off locations, and any special handling instructions. Once you have all the necessary information, it's time to contact your haulage companies to get quotes for your shipment.
• When obtaining quotes, be sure to check the company's experience and reputation in the trucking industry. You can also ask about their safety record, speed of delivery, and number of vehicles in their fleet. Some companies may even offer additional services, such as boarding or storage, so it's a good idea to ask about these options as well.
• When transporting your vessel, it's important to consider the area and waters where it will be shipped. Depending on the winds and currents, something as simple as the speed of the vessel could have an impact on the delivery time. Additionally, be sure to check your boat's hull for any damage or potential issues before shipping.
• With all of these factors in mind, it's important to choose a boat shipper that you can trust to safely transport your vessel to its destination. By doing your research and comparing quotes from multiple trucking companies, you can ensure that your watercraft is in good hands during the shipping process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any size limitations or restrictions associated with shipping my boat.

A-1 has decades of experience as one of the best boat carrier companies in the industry! We offer various boat transport services, including boat hauling, overland boat delivery, boat trailer transport, express boat transport, oversize boats, small boats, international shipping, and a host of services that you won't find with other companies.

In short, there is no boat shipment that we can't handle, regardless of the size of your boat or the distance you need it shipped. In addition, we are happy to provide boat shipping quotes to any interested parties free of charge! Contact us today to learn more!

What measures will you take to protect my boat?

Your yacht or boat will be covered in shrink wrap to protect the exterior and interior will be protected from moisture, salt, and other debris. We also use an easy roll-on and roll-off loading technique to ensure shipping your boat safely.

If you have any specific requests pertaining to the safety, protection, and overall process of boat shipping, we're happy to work with you to ensure your boat transport needs are not just met, and exceeded.

Do you offer overland shipping?

Absolutely! We are a full-service boat transport company that offers overland transport and international boat shipping (also sometimes referred to as RORO boat conveyance)! We have specially designed boat trailers that are specifically made to ship your boat safely, no matter the distance or type of boat.

Even if you have your own trailer designed to transport a boat, you may still need to enlist the help of shipping companies if you need a boat carriage over a long distance to ensure that it is handled as safely as possible. When it comes time to ship, we're happy to be there to provide whatever services and assistance we can.

How long will it take to ship my boat to its destination?

Shipping times will vary according to the size of your boat and how far you will be transporting it. There may also be some variance depending on the availability of the company you work with, as well as differences in shipping times during certain times of the year. Again, refer to the chart above for estimates or call us directly for a quote.

As we mentioned, different boat transport companies may have different delivery timelines than those listed above. Still, this process provides a good general timeline you can work off of to determine how long it will take your boat to be delivered.

How far in advance should I schedule my boat transportation?

It is always a good idea to schedule your boat logistics as far ahead of time as possible. In most cases, you should be fine with booking with a transport company at least six weeks out from your desired pick-up date.

Giving the shipper several weeks of lead time will help ensure that you have plenty of time to get things in order and have your boat arrive in time for any planned trips. Booking your transport further out than six weeks is fine if you know the shipping dates you'll need far enough in advance.

Can my boat be picked up from a dealer?

Your boat, yacht, or other watercraft can be picked up from practically anywhere and delivered to your desired location, and a dealer is no exception. Most shipping companies will be happy to accommodate your request, and it's certainly a service that we offer.

In our experience, many boat dealers offer their own shipping service, but you can still hire an outside company to do the job, especially if it can save you money.

What do I need to do to prepare my boat for shipping?

To prepare your boat for shipment, you will need to make sure that all the fuel and any other electronic components on the boat have been removed. We also recommend removing or securing loose items such as masts, flagpoles, valuables, etc.

Finally, be sure to close and lock all compartment openings, including doors and windows, so that nothing shifts around during shipment with the potential to cause damage.

Will your insurance cover and protect my boat during shipping?

Yes, your boat will be covered by our liability insurance during the shipping process. We take pride in ensuring your boat is delivered in good condition, which applies when we ship boats. Insurance coverage is definitely a part of that process, and any company that ships boats is legally required to offer a minimum level of insurance coverage.

You should contact your own insurance company when having a boat delivered and ask about any additional converge they may offer since the minimum doesn't generally cover the full value of the boat. In addition, insurance from third parties can provide additional coverage beyond the basic liability insurance, offering more protection against mishaps and accidents when your boat is in the care of a shipping company.

What kind of paperwork will I need to present before shipping?

We will help walk you through the paperwork process and provide you with a bill of lading. This document provides a detailed outline of any items being transported on a cargo ship and is a key part of any boat hauling service.

There is a lot of information listed in the bill of lading, all of which pertains to the specifics of your shipment, including cost, cargo description, and the condition of your boat when it was picked up.

What kind of experience do you have with shipping boats?

We are an experienced boat shipping company that has been transporting boats of all sizes to locations worldwide for over 25 years. Throughout our years of experience, we've done everything from transporting boats from city to city or all the way across the U.S.

We also offer overseas transport if you have designs to explore other boating hot spots worldwide. We are among the most reliable and trusted boat movers in the industry. We are happy to help with all the factors that are involved in boat transport, including assistance with any special permits that may be needed.

Will I be notified when my boat is shipped?

Yes, you will be contacted 24 to 48 hours before your boat arrives so that you can make any necessary arrangements for delivery. While we can’t guarantee a specific delivery time because variables like the weather may cause delays, we always do our best to deliver your boat promptly.

Do I need to be present when my boat is picked up or delivered?

Yes, either you or a designated representative will need to be present to sign certain documentation, including the bill of lading, when your boat arrives. If you cannot be present upon delivery, you must contact us and let us know who will be serving in your place.

Will I be able to track my boat shipment?

As a full-service boat transport and shipping company, we offer satellite tracking so that you will always know the status of your shipment any time you want to check it. You can also contact the shipper directly for a status update If necessary.

Is my pick-up or delivery date guaranteed?

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee delivery dates, as is the case with all interstate haulers. However, we always do our best to accommodate your needs and ensure your boat is delivered as close to the estimated delivery time as possible.

What are the advantages of having my boat shipped?

Shipping a boat can be stressful and time-consuming, particularly if you're going about it on your own. However, enlisting the help of a professional boat transportation company can take the stress out of this process and ensure your boat arrives safely at your desired location.

We strive to provide the best service in the industry, whether it's for jet skis, large boats, or anything in between. Not only does it save you the time and stress of doing it yourself, but you can rest assured knowing that your boat is in the hands of experienced professionals and your shipment is covered by insurance.

What should I do if my boat hasn’t arrived on time?

Don’t worry. Anything from weather to mechanical malfunctions can cause delays for interstate haulers. Also, remember that you can track your boat shipment with your satellite tracking services. If you have any additional questions, simply contact our customer service department. They can provide you with additional details and accommodate any other needs.

What payment methods do you accept?

We are always working to find ways to serve our customers best. That is why we offer various payment options, and we can always be flexible when it comes to payment methods.

If you have any special requirements relating to payment, please get in touch with us, and we'll be happy to work with you to figure out the best approach.

Who is a good candidate for boat shipping?

Anyone who is moving, going on vacation, and wanting to avoid having to make a long trip is a great candidate for boat shipping. Many of our customers are being relocated for new jobs or military orders. We aim to make your shipping experience as stress-free as possible whenever we transport a boat.

Do you offer international shipping services?

Yes, we can pick up and deliver your boat to and from any location worldwide.

What should I look for in a boat shipping company?

As you research different boat shipping companies, you want to ensure that you seek out those fully insured, properly licensed, and have the necessary experience to transport your boat wherever it needs to go.

If you're shipping long distance or overseas, it's especially important to ensure the interstate hauler you work with has experience transporting boats in that part of the world.

What is the average cost of boat shipping across international waters?

The average cost of boat shipping across international waters varies based on factors such as the size of the boat, the distance to the destination, shipping method (e.g., roll-on/roll-off or containerized), and the specific shipping company. As a ballpark figure, it can range from a few thousand dollars for shorter distances and smaller boats to tens of thousands for larger vessels and longer routes.

How does boat shipping differ from regular cargo shipping?

Boat shipping is specialized to handle the unique requirements of transporting boats, which can be bulky, oddly shaped, and delicate. Unlike regular cargo, boats require specific cradles or supports, specialized loading/unloading techniques, and may often utilize roll-on/roll-off services, whereas regular cargo is often containerized.

Are there specific regulations one should be aware of regarding boat shipping?

Yes, boat shipping is subject to various international and national regulations. These can include safety standards, environmental regulations, customs and import/export requirements, and specific certifications for the boat itself, such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards.

How does the size of a boat impact the price of boat shipping?

The size of a boat significantly impacts the price of boat shipping. Larger boats require more space, specialized equipment, and handling, making the process more expensive. The width, height, and weight of the boat can all factor into the final cost.

What precautions are taken to ensure the safety of a vessel during boat shipping?

Several precautions are taken, including securing the boat with specialized cradles or supports to prevent movement, covering the boat to protect from environmental factors, and using experienced personnel for loading and unloading. Additionally, regular inspections and monitoring during transit ensure the boat's safety.

How long does the process of boat shipping usually take?

The duration depends on the shipping route, weather conditions, and the specific service chosen. For example, shipping a boat from the U.S. to Europe might take 10-15 days, but this can vary.

Are there any insurance options available specifically for boat shipping?

Yes, many boat shipping companies offer marine cargo insurance tailored for boat transport. It's always recommended to have comprehensive insurance to cover potential damages or losses during transit.

How are boats secured during boat shipping to prevent damage?

Boats are often secured using specialized cradles, straps, and supports designed for their specific size and shape. These measures prevent movement during transit and ensure the boat remains stable and safe.

Are there seasonal considerations to take into account for boat shipping?

Definitely. For instance, shipping during hurricane season in certain areas might be riskier. Winter months might bring challenges in colder regions due to ice. It's essential to consider these factors when planning boat shipping.

What are the common challenges faced during boat shipping?

Challenges can include adverse weather conditions, customs and import/export complications, potential damages during transit, delays due to port congestion, and logistical issues related to specific boat sizes or requirements.

Are there specialized docks or ports specifically for boat shipping?

While most major ports can handle boat shipping, some specialize or have dedicated facilities for boat and yacht transportation, ensuring more efficient and safer loading and unloading processes.

What documentation is required for international boat shipping?

Documentation usually includes the boat's title, proof of ownership, a bill of sale, passport for personal identification, and specific customs forms or documents depending on the country of origin and destination.

How does boat shipping handle customs and import duties?

Each country has its regulations concerning customs and import duties for boats. The shipping company or a customs broker can help navigate these processes, ensuring all duties are paid and all paperwork is correctly filed.

What should one expect in terms of delays during boat shipping?

Delays can occur due to a variety of reasons – adverse weather conditions, port congestion, customs inspections, or unforeseen logistical challenges. It's always wise to have a buffer in your timeline when planning to receive or use the boat at its destination.

Note: It's always important to consult directly with boat shipping companies or professionals in the industry for precise and up-to-date information.

Can you provide a list of things to prepare before a boat shipping appointment?

Before a boat shipping appointment, it's essential to prepare the following:

Documentation: Ensure you have the boat's registration, insurance papers, and any necessary shipping contracts or agreements.

Inspection: Conduct a thorough inspection of the boat and take dated photographs. This helps to determine if any damage occurs during shipping.

Cleaning: Clean the boat, especially the hull, to remove any invasive species or debris. Some regions require this to prevent contamination of local waterways.

Securing Items: Remove or securely fasten any loose items both inside and outside the boat. This includes life jackets, fishing gear, cushions, etc.

Fuel: Typically, you should reduce the fuel level to around 10% of the tank's capacity or as advised by the shipping company.

Disconnect Batteries: Disconnect and secure the boat's battery.

Antennas and Electronics: Remove any protruding electronics or antennas or ensure they are tightly secured.

Check for Leaks: Ensure there are no fluid leaks from the engine or other parts of the boat.

Inform the Shipper: Let the shipping company know of any peculiarities or quirks about your boat that might be important during loading and unloading.

What is the difference between enclosed transport and open transport in boat shipping?

In boat shipping, the primary differences between enclosed transport and open transport are:

Enclosed Transport: The boat is shipped inside a covered container or truck. This type of transport offers protection from external elements like weather, road debris, and salt air. It's often chosen for luxury, antique, or sensitive boats that need extra protection. However, it is usually more expensive than open transport.

Open Transport: The boat is shipped on an open trailer or deck, exposed to the elements. While this method is cost-effective and is suitable for most boats, there is a higher risk of potential damage from weather, salt, or road debris.

Are there boat shipping services that cater specifically to luxury or vintage boats?

Yes, there are boat shipping services that specialize in transporting luxury or vintage boats. These companies often provide enclosed transport, white-glove service, and extra insurance coverage to ensure the utmost care and protection for high-value and sensitive vessels.

What happens if my boat is damaged during boat shipping?

If your boat is damaged during boat shipping, you should follow these steps:

Document the Damage: Take clear photographs of the damage as soon as you notice it. Compare these to your pre-shipping photos.

Inform the Shipping Company: Notify the shipping company immediately about the damage.

Review Insurance Details: Check the terms of the shipping insurance and any coverage details that were provided or agreed upon before shipping.

File a Claim: Depending on the shipping agreement and insurance terms, you may need to file a claim for the damage. Ensure you have all required documentation.

Seek Repairs: Depending on the extent of the damage and insurance coverage, you can proceed to get the boat repaired.

Legal Action: If the shipping company does not honor the terms or if there's a dispute, you may need to consider legal action. Consult with an attorney if necessary.

Consult with Experts: Before proceeding further, it might be beneficial to consult with marine surveyors or boat repair professionals. They can provide expert opinions on the extent of the damage and estimated repair costs.

Keep All Correspondence: Ensure you keep a record of all conversations, emails, and other correspondences with the shipping company. This will be useful for reference and in case of any disputes.

Consider Mediation: Before opting for legal action, you might want to consider mediation. A neutral third-party mediator can help resolve conflicts between you and the shipping company.

Review Shipping Agreement: Revisit the shipping agreement or contract you had with the shipping company. It will detail responsibilities, liabilities, and other important terms that can guide your next steps.

Be Proactive: If you find damage, act swiftly. Delays can complicate claims processes and potentially weaken your case if the shipping company argues that the damage could have occurred after the delivery.

Seek References: If you're looking to repair the boat, ask the shipping company or peers in the boating community for references to trusted boat repair shops or professionals.

Stay Calm and Patient: While it's understandably frustrating to deal with damages, maintaining a calm demeanor can facilitate smoother communication with the shipping company and other stakeholders.

Evaluate Future Options: Once the current situation is resolved, you might want to evaluate if you'd want to continue using the same shipping service in the future or seek alternative providers with a better track record.

In conclusion, boat damage during shipping can be distressing, but by following systematic steps, you can navigate the situation effectively and seek the necessary resolutions.
