KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST

***** 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Flagship Boat Transport | Prepare Before Your Yacht Transport

Getting ready for your yacht transport.

The safety of everyone on the road and your yacht must be yacht transporters’ first consideration. The word Yacht is a term used to describe a large or oversize boat. When we hear the word “Yacht”, it brings to mind images of a very large boat.

Some are fit for a king, others are working vessels like sport fishers, and some are just for family fun. In our world of yacht transportation , the word generally describes a boat that is larger than 14 feet wide, 14 feet tall and is around or over 40,000 pounds in weight.

Our Yacht shipping specialists are very knowledgeable and have years of experience in the planning of moving oversize boats. We have transported boats all across the country and around the world. We have moved vessels of all sizes, shapes, makes and models. Some of the brands of boats we have moved are Carver, Mainship, SeaRay, Silverton, Nordic Tug, Ocean Alexander, Hunter, Catalina, Beneteau, Swan, and Oyster just to name a few.

Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have, or for a free quote on your upcoming Yacht Transportation needs.

Our Boat Relocation Specialists Handle All The Planning For You

We do not charge a fuel surcharge. We feel fuel surcharges are for companies that do not manage their trucks properly or know how to quote a boat relocation correctly.

There are times when a state will put additional restrictions on their permits. These are usually due to road construction and/or the time of year move is scheduled for. Because we are not aware of this ahead of time, they may not be included in your quote.  You will find a quick overview of the most common rules and regulations, listed by state, in the menu found on the right of this page.

Moving An Oversize Power Or Sailboat Requires Extra Planning and Compliance

When transporting sailboats and powerboats that are oversize, some of the regulations we have to comply with are greater than when moving a smaller vessel. We are always required to use pilot cars and pole cars when the vessel exceeds the state or city size regulations.

There is also the need to meet any curfews that are given to us, as far as when and where we can travel while transporting an oversize Yacht. These additional requirements are set by the states and cities that are issuing the permits, your yacht transportation company must be aware of this.

Over-height Yacht Transport

Some flybridges are removed due to excessive height and must be transported on the boat, on the transport trailer, and in some cases with a second truck and trailer. We hope this page has been helpful to you.

There is so much more to moving an oversize boat than just loading her up and hitting the road. We invite you to contact us directly with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your Yacht transportation service needs. We want to be your Yacht Transport Company and are always happy to help. Let us give you a free quote today!

International yacht shipping requires more time and knowledge of international shipping . Yachts must be properly prepped and height needs to be reduced in many cases. A yacht transport company needs to assist with all aspects of moving your yacht. A flexible shipping schedule will aid your yacht transport service in getting you the best price.

Our purpose built, semi-submersible carriers are designed solely for yacht and Superyacht transportation. Our unique float-on, float-off system is viewed as the safest and most efficient way to transport your yacht.

Check out Moscow’s NEW electric river trams (PHOTOS)

Water transportation has become another sector for the eco-friendly improvements the Moscow government is implementing. And it means business. On July 15, 2021, on the dock of Moscow’s ‘Zaryadye’ park, mayor Sergey Sobyanin was shown the first model of the upcoming river cruise boat.

The model of the electrical boat with panoramic windows measures 22 meters in length. The river tram - as Muscovites call them - has a passenger capacity of 42, including two disabled seats. The trams will also get cutting edge info panels, USB docking stations, Wi-Fi, spaces for scooters and bicycles, as well as chairs and desks for working on the go. The boats will be available all year round, according to ‘Mosgortrans’, the regional transport agency. 

Passengers will be able to pay with their ‘Troika’ public transport card, credit cards or bank cards. 

The main clientele targeted are people living in Moscow’s river districts - the upcoming trams will shorten their travel time in comparison to buses and other transportation by five times, Mosgortrans stated. 

As the river trams are being rolled out, Moscow docks will also see mini-stations, some of which will also be outfitted with charging docks for speed-charging the boats.  

Moscow is set to announce the start of the tender for construction and supply in September 2021. The first trams are scheduled to launch in June 2022 on two routes - from Kievskaya Station, through Moscow City, into Fili; and from ZIL to Pechatniki. 

“Two full-scale routes will be created in 2022-2023, serviced by 20 river trams and a number of river stations. We’ll continue to develop them further if they prove to be popular with the citizens,” the Moscow mayor said .
