How long is the yacht loading window?

With all loadings, we give a 15-day window for shipment in which your yacht must be available. The reason for this is based on the consolidation of yachts wanting to ship from A to B during the same period. Through economies of scale we can ensure we offer customers the best rate for shipping if consolidation is an option. Secondly, until all bookings are finalised the vessel cannot be nominated. Vessel schedules can vary, requiring flexibility in loading date.

How much will it cost to ship my yacht?

Costs for transporting a yacht are based on numerous factors making it difficult to provide a reliable quote without certain information. Factors influencing pricing range from yacht dimensions and shipping destinations, to seasonality and requirements for added services such as divers, insurance and surveys.
