Yacht transport is an alternative to the traditional passaging (sailing or motoring) to reach desired destinations around the globe.
For many serious cruisers, financial, business and family considerations argue against the long-term full-time dedication that ocean crossings require.
Yacht transport generally eliminates costly, time-consuming, and dangerous difficult ocean crossings, opening up cruising to more people.
Container cruising, one approach to yacht transport, is significantly less expensive and has greater flexibility with respect to timing and destinations.
Insurance coverage, transport permits, trailer safety and proper preparation and loading of the vessel and contents are aspects commercial boat/yacht services provide.
The Semi-submersible ships travel on fixed schedules over popular routes such as to and from the US, Europe, the Caribbean, and Pacific Ocean destinations.
While in theory, deck cargoes can be arranged between any two ports and at any time, costs are reduced if a number of yachts are shipped together.
The increasing cost of fuel, the convenience, and the ability to go anywhere make yacht transport an attractive alternative.
