Why Should I Choose Superyacht Transport Over Sailing?

Superyacht transport eliminates the risks associated with sailing, ensures your vessel’s safety, and preserves its pristine condition.

How long is the yacht loading window?

With all loadings, we give a 15-day window for shipment in which your yacht must be available. The reason for this is based on the consolidation of yachts wanting to ship from A to B during the same period. Through economies of scale we can ensure we offer customers the best rate for shipping if consolidation is an option. Secondly, until all bookings are finalised the vessel cannot be nominated. Vessel schedules can vary, requiring flexibility in loading date.
