Your Options for Yacht & Boat Transport
Depending on the size and type of your vessel, we offer a range of transport options:
Overland Transport
Ideal for smaller boats or inland delivery. We use specialized trailers and escorts (when needed) for safe, compliant road transport.
Container Shipping
Smaller boats can be shipped in a 20ft or 40ft container. This method is secure and cost-effective for certain craft and destinations.
Flat Rack & LoLo (Lift-on/Lift-off)
Common for larger yachts that can’t be containerized. The boat is lifted onto a flat rack on the ship using cranes and securely strapped for ocean transit.
Float-On/Float-Off (Semi-submersible)
The preferred method for luxury and superyachts. Vessels are floated directly onto a semi-submersible carrier—offering maximum care and minimal handling.
Stress-Free Customs & Compliance
We don’t just move boats—we also manage the paperwork. Whether you’re importing a boat to the UK or exporting one abroad, we take care of:
- UK and international customs documentation
- Marine insurance
- Import tax & VAT guidance
- Local compliance requirements (e.g. CE marking, registration, etc.)
More Than Just Boats
We’re known for comprehensive logistics solutions, including:
- Ship a car from or to the UK
- Import a car from Japan, the USA, or Europe
- Heavy equipment transport for trucks, diggers, or farm machinery
- Yacht and boat transport for all vessel types
If it rolls, floats, or sails—we can move it.
