Yachts & Boats Freight Solutions
International transport for yachts, boats and marine equipment.
Freight planning for eligible motor yachts, sailing boats, RIBs, leisure boats, hulls, boat trailers, engines, marine systems, masts, accessories and spare parts. Transport is evaluated according to the vessel’s exact length, beam, overall transport height, weight, cradle or trailer arrangement, lifting points, origin, destination, route restrictions and available road, sea or project-cargo equipment.
Marine Cargo We Can Evaluate
From complete boats to engines, masts and marine spare parts.
Vessel transport is planned around actual transport dimensions rather than model name alone. Exact acceptance depends on route, equipment, carrier and port or terminal capability.
Sailing Boats
Sailing yachts and boats can be evaluated with mast, rigging, keel, cradle and transport-height details clearly declared.
Rigid Inflatable Boats
RIBs can be evaluated on suitable trailers, cradles or within other transport structures depending on dimensions and destination.
Motorboats & Day Boats
Smaller leisure boats and motorboats can be reviewed for standard boat-trailer, special-road or sea transport where suitable.
Boat Hulls & Unfinished Vessels
Bare hulls, unfinished vessels and shipyard-built sections can require customized support, cradle or project-cargo planning.
Jet Skis & Small Watercraft
Eligible personal watercraft and small boats can be evaluated as crated, palletized, trailer-mounted or container cargo.
Outboard & Inboard Engines
Marine engines and propulsion equipment can be evaluated by road, air or sea after fuel, oil, battery and dangerous-goods status are confirmed.
Masts, Booms & Long Marine Parts
Long masts, booms, rails and other elongated marine components require exact transport length and suitable securing.
Generators, Pumps & Electronics
Marine generators, pumps, navigation systems, electrical equipment and technical components can be evaluated as commercial freight.
Marine Spare Parts & Accessories
Urgent mechanical, electrical and maintenance parts can be evaluated by road or air freight where size and product acceptance allow.
Transport Methods
The transport method depends on vessel dimensions, route and handling capability.
Road Boat Transport
Smaller and medium-size boats can be evaluated on suitable boat trailers, low-bed or other specialized road equipment where dimensions, permits and route clearances allow.
Road Freight →Dedicated / Special Trailer
Oversized beam, height or weight can require dedicated trailers, route surveys, special loading arrangements or permits depending on the corridor.
FTL Freight →Sea Freight & Special Cargo
Suitable boats or marine equipment can be evaluated for container, flat-rack, open-top, Ro-Ro, lift-on/lift-off or other project-cargo structures where the selected carrier and port support them.
Sea Freight →Air Freight for Parts
Air freight can be evaluated for urgent marine electronics, mechanical parts, controls and other suitable spare parts within airline dimensions and product restrictions.

Essential Vessel Measurements
A yacht quote starts with the real transport dimensions.
Vessel Dimensions to Provide
- LOA / overall vessel length
- Maximum beam / width
- Overall transport height
- Draft / keel depth where relevant
- Actual vessel weight
- Weight with trailer or cradle where applicable
- Mast dimensions if transported separately
- Any removable parts that affect transport dimensions
Handling Information to Provide
- Existing cradle or boat trailer
- Cradle dimensions and condition
- Lifting points
- Sling positions if specified by manufacturer
- Center of gravity where available
- Crane or travel-lift access
- Loading and unloading site conditions
- Recent vessel photos from all sides
Model specifications from a brochure may not equal the vessel’s transport dimensions.
Radar arches, antennas, hardtops, masts, propellers, keels, trailers and cradles can materially change the height,
width and total transport weight. Always provide current measurements for the actual vessel.
Road Transport Planning
Oversized boats require route, height and loading review.
Transport Width
Wide vessels may exceed standard road width limits and can require special equipment, permits or route planning.
Overall Transport Height
Boat height plus cradle or trailer deck height must be reviewed against bridges, tunnels, overhead infrastructure and route restrictions.
Axle & Payload Planning
Total vessel, cradle and trailer weight affects equipment selection, axle loading and route suitability.
Crane / Travel Lift
Origin and destination must have suitable lifting or launch capability when the boat cannot load or unload using its own trailer.
Cradle & Support
Hull support and securing should be appropriate for the vessel design and selected transport equipment.
Reduce Transport Profile
Where technically appropriate, removable antennas, arches, masts or accessories can reduce transport dimensions before movement.
Sea Transport Options
Different boats require different ocean-transport structures.
Container-Compatible Craft
Small boats, personal watercraft and marine components can be evaluated for standard containers where dimensions and safe securing allow.
Out-of-Gauge Cargo
Some boats and marine equipment can be evaluated on flat-rack equipment when width, height, weight and carrier acceptance permit.
Height-Sensitive Cargo
Open-top equipment may be evaluated for suitable boats or marine units exceeding standard container height, subject to carrier conditions.
Trailer-Mounted / Rolling Units
Ro-Ro may be evaluated where the boat is on suitable rolling equipment and the relevant carrier, vessel and port accept the configuration.
Crane-Handled Vessels
Some vessels can be evaluated for crane loading where the port, vessel, lifting arrangement and carrier support the operation.
Large Yacht Movements
Larger or non-standard yachts may require project-cargo planning rather than a standard container or trailer solution.
Ro-Ro, flat-rack, open-top and lift-on/lift-off are not universally available on every route.
Availability must be checked against the actual vessel, port pair, carrier, schedule and handling capability.
Vessel Preparation
Fuel, batteries, gas cylinders and loose equipment must be declared.
Fuel Tanks
Fuel quantity and tank condition should be declared. Carrier-specific draining or fuel-level requirements may apply.
Marine Batteries
Battery chemistry, quantity, condition and installation status should be declared, especially for lithium battery systems.
LPG / Gas Cylinders
Gas cylinders and pressurized containers should be identified before transport because removal or separate regulated transport may be required.
Engine & Hydraulic Fluids
Engine oil, hydraulic fluids and other operating liquids should be declared according to vessel condition and transport mode.
Secure Loose Equipment
Loose items inside cabins, lockers, engine rooms and deck areas should be secured before transport.
Protect Sensitive Components
Antennas, navigation equipment, covers, windows and exposed fittings may require removal or additional protection.
Marine Spare Parts
Not every marine shipment is a complete boat.
