Logistical Yacht Shipping

Logistical Yacht Shipping is the process of transporting a yacht of any size to any location.

The process of transporting a yacht is carried out using specific methods. A custom cradle is created, bespoke in design for the yacht. This is attached to the transport vessel, securing it in place over rough seas. The cradle is designed according to manufacturer and ocean transport standards.

Before shipping the yacht is important to go through the following list of procedures:

Disconnect the batteries, stow all lose objects below deck, lower mast/rigging if shipping on a container, RO/RO or conventional vessels. In these cases the mast will normally need to be lashed to the deck. For new boats it may be wise to shrink wrap it for protection against the elements.

Other services that are sometimes required for yacht shipping can include: Survey and inspection, cargo planning, port side operations, call in tracking, captain services and shrink wrapping services.
