Shipping by Land
Basically we use only one method of transporting yachts by land and that is via a licensed Tractor and Trailer.
Shipping by Sea
There are three methods of shipping a boat by sea. One method is to put the boat in a container and ship via a Container Ship. This method is used when shipping smaller boats. When shipping large boats or yachts, we on the other hand use either a transporting vessel that is a lift on and lift off vessel or a float on and float off vessel.
Shipping by Sea - Lift On Lift Off
The Lift On Lift Off method consist of pulling the yacht along side and placing slings around the vessel either on land or in the water. Once the slings have been secured the vessel is lifted onto the transporting vessel and secured. The same approach is used to disembark from the transporting vessel. Your yacht comes alongside the transporting vessel, down goes the sling, up goes your yacht, and off they go Sounds easy but in fact the process is astonishingly complex and labored. Fortunately, you the owner have the easy part. Just as fortunately, the people of performing the task have years of experience in doing this exact procedure. They have completed so many successful loadings that the complex becomes second nature and they stay ever vigilant to unexpected events. Put simply, we and the transporter plan any unusual event out of the realm of possibility
Shipping by Sea - Float On Float Off
The Float On Float Off method consist of the transporting vessel lowering itself in the water so that the yachts can be floated on or off. Like the Lift On Lift Off method, sounds simple doesn’t it. However, it is just as complex as the other method. Divers are used with this method. They go down and secure the yacht with braces and tie downs, making sure that the yacht is well protected.
