Can I Track My Yacht During Transit?

Yes, we provide tracking and monitoring services so you can stay updated on the location and condition of your yacht throughout the shipping process.

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.
