150-1500 Ton Boat Hoists Features

  • All Wheel Electronic Steering

Maximize your machine’s versatility, maneuverability, and precision in confined boat yard spaces with our patented electronic all wheel steering technology. The system includes 5 steering modes with faster drive and turning speed than the competition. (Optional on the 150–400 metric ton units.)

  • Remote Diagnostics

Our remote diagnostics allows for free support around the globe. Experienced factory technicians are able to perform the diagnosis, identify a faulty part and/or modify program parameters without having to make a trip to your site.

  • Hoist Equalizing System

On machines with more than two sets of slings, we use equalizers to protect against point loading. The equalizer keeps two sets of slings equally loaded and by using dedicated hoist pump motors the equalized set of slings can be at a higher or lower capacity versus the independent sling set. This allows for more flexibility of sling location and placement.

  • Steel Structure Design

Built with 100% US made steel, our Engineers designed our C-Series Mobile Boat Hoists so that no section or part of the structure undergoes a force greater than 65% of yield material under extortionary circumstances. We design each machine to the highest level and assume they will all be in a high-duty cycle boatyard working every day.

  • Sling Angle

Lifting capacity is a function of the angle between vertical and the slings meeting the hull. As boats get narrower, or the boat rises higher out of the water, the sling angle increases. The C-series boat hoists are designed to lift full capacity all the way up to a 15-degree sling angle, the best in the industry.

  • PPG Siloxane Paint

Increased life and reduced corrosion are the results of this 2-step PPG Paint process. A zinc-enriched epoxy primer and polysiloxane topcoat provide superior performance that is proven in the most difficult marine environments.

  • Intelligent Readout System

The intelligent readout provides multiple outputs including general engine performance, real-time measurements of machine operations, oil level/temperature and pump pressures. It also allows for performance troubleshooting and complete systematic control.

  • Pivot Trunnion

Reduce structural stress and get maximum rotation to accommodate extreme yard conditions. The articulated pivot trunnion allows your mobile boat hoist to travel over uneven ground, including unimproved dirt and concrete.

  • Chine & Keel Pads

Built to protect, sustain and withstand various temperatures and climates, Chine and Keel pads come standard on all C-Series models, further extending the life of your slings. Pads are made with thick reinforced rubber or vinyl to protect the sling from sharp edges and the additional weight helps to sink the slings and keep them from rolling when a boat floats in.

  • Operator Cab

Operator cabs are standard on all C-Series Mobile Boat Hoists. The controls are direct to the valve and hydraulically control all functions as well as act as a back-up to the radio remote option.

  • Block and Spreader Articulation

The C-series boat hoists utilize spherical bearings in the block and spreader to properly align the slings with the hull. This ensures the slings are equally loaded and the lower block stays in line with the upper block, preventing damage to wire rope and sheaves.

  • Hydraulic Fluid Leak Protection

Stainless steel tubing, O-Ring face seal hydraulic fittings, and cordura hose covers are all used for added protection against hydraulic leaks to keep fluid off boats and out of the water. Our 2205 stainless tubing resists corrosion in the harshest marine environments and cordura hose coverings prevent the elements from prematurely deteriorating the hoses.

" * " indicates required fields

Fill out form below to request product specs:

  • Customizable Height and Width

All of our C-Series Mobile Boat Hoists are built around the needs of our customers. Customize your height and width to suit your service yard or marina.

  • Wireless Remote

Standard on 500 ton and larger models, but an option for lower capacity models. All controls are fully proportional and the use of the remote gives increased visibility of the vessel, launching piers, and surrounding area. The wireless remote works to improve operational safety and maneuverability while displaying important data such as load read-outs, engine, and machine info.

  • Additional Sling Adjust

The C-series boat hoists provide one to two sets of power-adjustable blocks (sling sets) as standard but additional sling sets can be made power-adjustable as well for more versatility. Each pair of hoist blocks is independently adjustable by the operator to ensure the flexibility needed for proper boat position on various hull types.

  • 2 Speed Hoist

Increase lifting speed while maintaining fully proportional control to efficiently lift more vessels each day when your machine is in high demand, or in greatly fluctuating tides.

  • Increased Gradeability

To ensure our machines can easily navigate any slope you may have in your yard, we offer an increased grade option. This allows the machine to work in all parts of the yard no matter if the surface has mud, gravel, potholes, etc.

  • LED Work & Drive Lights

Offered in options of 10 or 16, these sealed-type LED lights illuminate work and drive areas when working in low visibility conditions. Additional custom configurations are available.

  • Customized Spreaders

When you need more variable distribution or to separate slings to clear a hull appendage, customized spreader bars are available to solve the most challenging lifting requirements.

Our Tug version is designed for yards that are mainly lifting heavy, short hull vessels such as tugs and push boats. This design eliminates the forwardmost sling set, which is too far forward to be used on shorter hulls while maintaining full capacity with just the two sling sets.

  • Variable Width

Our revolutionary Variable Width design allows marinas and shipyards to safely and efficiently optimize space for service and storage. Creating opportunities to block vessels closer together in order to access space previously unavailable because of overall width dimensions on a standard boat hoist.

  • CE Compliance

Marine Travelift machines meet and exceed all standards to ensure safety and compliance for our global partners.

Our machines are designed for interchangeability of power units. If you are particular about using a certain brand in your machine, let us know.

  • Customer Inspired Options

If your operation or yard requires a special option, such as custom sling lengths just ask. Some of our most popular options were inspired by a customer's need. Or if you just want to make it your own with a special color or decal design -- we can do that too.

This Sleek New 180-Foot Superyacht Is Longest Steel and Aluminum Vessel in Its Class

That means it bypasses a whole heap of regulations., rachel cormack.

Al Waab II Superyacht

A superyacht that spans 180 feet is rather run-of-the-mill these days. So too is a vessel with a volume of less than 500 GT. However, combine the two and you end up with something pretty special. That’s exactly what Alia Yachts has done with the newest member of its growing fleet.

Al Waab II , which was just launched by the Turkish yard, has been dubbed the world’s longest steel and aluminum superyacht below 500 GT. This means she offers plenty of space onboard yet results in far less red tape. That because vessels with an interior volume greater than 500 GT are subject to additional regulations, so both owners and designers often work to stay under that threshold.

  • Audi Has Finally Built the Last R8

“Yachts are getting longer and wider, but owners still want to stay below the 500 GT mark,” Alia’s president Gökhan Çelik said in a statement. “We’ve seen increasing interest in this kind of yacht and so to be one of the first with such an impressive project is an important milestone for Alia.”

“Al Waab II” was just launched by the Turkish yard.  Alia Yachts

To set the new standard for volume in this category, the yard said it focused on emphasizing the custom vessel’s hull form and exterior areas. The design and engineering both inside and out was executed by Vripack as per the owner’s brief.

“The owner wanted a customized yacht that feels modern, fresh and most importantly like a home, and by that he means comfort, space, luxury, privacy and stability at sea,” Francesco Pitea, CEO of SF Yachts, added. “The amount of outdoor space and the simplicity of the layout makes a big difference to the owner’s enjoyment of his yacht. It’s a dream moment after two years of hard work.”

The floating condo can sleep up to 12 guests across six staterooms and includes a lavish split-level master suite on the upper deck. Naturally, there’s also a sprawling beach club and all the requisite luxury amenities.

“The owner of Al Waab II had the explicit desire to use his boat as a family apartment,” added Vripack’s co-creative director Bart Bouwhuis. “That desire became the founding principle of the entire design. The result is the very essence of living on the water.”

What makes Al Waab II even more impressive is the fact that it was built during a global pandemic. After a challenging two-year construction period, the vessel was delivered only a few weeks behind schedule. Once outfitting is complete, Al Waab II will undergo sea trials before delivery to her new owner. It will make its official world debut in September. Stay tuned.

Which USCG Captain's License Should You Choose?

OUPV or Master License? Your choice depends on vessel size and passenger count. Learn the requirements and how to upgrade later.

The first step you need to take to get your captain’s license is to decide which type of license you’re going to pursue.

There are two main types of Coast Guard licenses:

License Type #1 - 25 ton, 50 ton, or 100 ton Master License

License Type #2 - Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels (OUPV or Six Pack)

The type of license you choose depends on the size and type of vessel and the number of passengers aboard. You can always upgrade your captain’s license and add endorsements along the way.

500 ton yacht

OUPV/Six-Pack

The OUPV/Six-Pack license is the USCG license that many recreational boaters choose. It’s called the six-pack license because it allows you to take up to six paying passengers and crew members. This allows you to do small fishing trips, sightseeing tours, dive boats, or sail boats.

The OUPV license is also limited to vessels that are 100 gross tons (about 80 feet long).

Many boaters will get their OUPV license even if they have no intention of doing commercial boating. You don’t need to be licensed by the Coast Guard to use your personal boat, unless you’re taking paying customers out on the water.

Getting your license is still valuable because you’ll brush up on your navigation and safety skills. Plus, having your license gives you the option to captain in a commercial setting.

The OUPV qualifies you to captain uninspected vessels. USCG uninspected vessels can carry up to six passengers and aren’t required to be inspected by the Coast Guard. The uninspected vessel must comply with minimal federal standards for safety, navigation, and pollution prevention .

Inland, Great Lakes, and Near Coastal OUPV

There are three types of OUPV licenses that dictate the bodies of water you can operate on commercially.

The Inland OUPV license allows you to captain on U.S. Inland waters . This includes bays, rivers, and lakes (excluding the Great Lakes).

The Near Coastal license allows you to operate on Inland waters and Near Coastal, which is typically up to 100 miles offshore.

The third license type is Near Coastal with Great Lakes. This license allows you to operate on Inland, Near Coastal, and the Great Lakes .

OUPV license requirements

To qualify for your OUPV license, you’ll need to have 360 days of documented sea days. At least 90 of those days must be within the past 3 years. To attain the Great Lakes or Near Coastal license, you’ll need 90+ sea days on the respective waters.

The Small Vessel Sea Service Form CG-719S is used to record your sea days—the number of days that you were on the water (for 4+ hours in a day) in any given month and year.

Once you have the required sea time, you’ll need to:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Get your TWIC card
  • Be a U.S. citizen (or show permanent residency)
  • Have a valid First Aid/CPR Card
  • Pass a basic physical exam
  • Pass a drug test
  • Complete a USCG-approved course

Read more about How to Get Your OUPV License

25/50/100 Master

The Master Captain’s License is required to captain any USCG inspected vessel, or vessels carrying 7 or more paying passengers. Larger tour boats, finishing boats, sailboats, and water taxis with more than 6 paying passengers on board require a Master License.

This license also allows you to captain uninspected vessels with fewer passengers. You don’t need to get a lower level license prior to this, or start at the lowest level. Your first license can be a 100 GT Master.

Similarly to the six-pack license, there are different Master licenses based on the size of the vessel, and the water you’re on.

To start, there are 25, 50, and 100-ton licenses. The 25-ton Master license qualifies you to captain vessels up to 25 tons. The 50-ton lets you captain 50-ton vessels. And the 100-ton lets you captain 100-ton vessels.

The license you qualify for depends on your documented sea days and the tonnage of the vessels you were serving on.

25 Ton Master = You have a minimum of 360 days on vessels less than 17 gross tons (GRT).

50 Ton Master = You have 180 days on vessels 26 GRT or larger, or 360 days on vessels 17 GRT or larger.

100 Ton Master = You have 180 days on vessels 51 GRT or larger, or 360 days on vessels 34 GRT or larger.

The Coast Guard will decide which license you’re qualified for based on your documented sea days on your license application. And if you get more sea time on larger vessels, you can always apply for an upgrade, so it’s best to focus on getting the license for the work you’re currently doing.

It only takes 90 days of additional sea service to remove tonnage limitations. For example, after 90 days of sea service, you can apply to upgrade from 50 Ton Master to 100-Ton Master. Note: The Coast Guard won’t automatically update this for you—you’ll need to apply for it.

Just like the OUPV, there are Great Lakes, Inland, and Near Coastal Master Licenses, and your qualification depends on the location of your sea days.

How big is a 25/50/100 Ton vessel?

A 25 GRT vessel doesn’t mean the vessel weighs 25 tons. There are specific formulas to measure GRT outlined in the Coast Guard’s Tonnage Guide .

To give you a general idea of the different vessel sizes:

  • A 25-ton vessel can be 40-60 feet depending on how it's built.
  • A 50-ton vessel can be 60-70 feet depending on the type of vessel and material
  • A 100-ton vessel can be upwards of 200 feet, depending on its construction and uses

25/50/100 Master general requirements

In addition to the required sea days, there are general requirements for your Master License that are similar to the OUPV requirements. These include age, experience, character, physical health, citizenship, approved training, professional competence, a drug test, and more, including:

  • Obtaining your TWIC card
  • You must demonstrate an ability to speak and understand English.
  • You must have at least 90 days of required service on vessels of appropriate tonnage or horsepower within the past 3 years of your application date.
  • You must be at least 19 years old (21+ for ocean-going vessels).
  • You must have had a physical done within the past 12 months.
  • You must get a background check done.
  • You must have a valid CPR and First Aid certificate .
  • You must complete the appropriate USCG-approved course.

Master license endorsements

In addition to the USCG Master License, there are additional endorsements that qualify you for activities. These include the Assistance Towing Endorsement and Auxiliary Sailing Endorsement.

To operate an inspected (more than six paying passengers) sailing vessel, you need a U.S. Coast Guard auxiliary sail license endorsement attached to your Master License.

You’ll need at least 180 sea days on a sail or auxiliary sail vessel for a Sailing Endorsement onto a Master Inland/Great Lakes Captain’s License, and 360 sea days on a sail or auxiliary sail vessel to add the endorsement onto a Master Near Coastal License. You also need to pass a USCG-approved auxiliary sail course.

Both the OUPV and Master License can be endorsed for commercial assistance towing of disabled vessels—within the scope of the license.

No documented experience is required for the towing endorsement. You must pass a written examination or complete a Coast Guard-approved course demonstrating your knowledge of towing safety, equipment, and procedures.

The validity of the endorsements are the same as your license or MMC on which they’re included, and will be renewed with your MMC.

Because the rules are designed for commercial ships. And there's a huge difference in passenger carrying capacity between a 500 GRT and 1600 GRT ship, among many other things........

It's mostly experience / sea time on appropriately sized vessels I believe. What is the reason you want to increase your tonnage? Are you in a position to move into a position that would require it or do you want to pursue commercial work? If not it could work against you as many will feel you might me too much of a sea dog for their family boat.

That's why 160-170' is such a popular size as they easily sneak under the 500 Ton mark. Even the 172' Westport is 496 Tons.

It is on topic. The OP was asking what regulatory requirements were involved for a 500 GT. That sounded like he was thinking of going for his. Everything involved would be relevant so future readers can get educated. After several posts it appears that the OP is thinking about hiring a 500 GT, but while we're waiting for someone with a 500 GT ticket to respond about what regulations, if any beyond sea time are involved, the thread staying active increases the odds that 500GT will see it and respond. In the mean time I don't mind someone questioning my credentials. I have them.

Much of this has been discussed previously in a pretty informative thread: https://www.yachtforums.com/threads/passenger-yacht-code.23476/
The WP172 fits the bill nicely, but the draft is more than I like. But we need 6 staterooms. 2 handicapped kids plus therapists plus room for friends. Maybe the 130’s 5 staterooms would suffice, occasionally someone sleeping on a couch in the salon. Would rather not use the crew quarters for non crew. Hmmm.

Superyachts less than 500gt to comply with MLC

Despite an industry-wide misunderstanding that the maritime labour convention, 2006 (mlc) applies to all yachts engaged in commercial activity and over 500gt, the lengthy convention is also applicable to comercially operating superyachts under 500gt - significantly increasing the spectrum of superyachts to which the convention is applicable.….
