Anyone who needs to move a boat will need to consider professional international boat delivery services. These services can be used to get your boat quickly and easily from A to B. The international boat delivery company may suggest a number of different types of transport to ensure that your boat reaches its destination safely.
Transporting yourself
Boats are very big and this can make moving them a real challenge. Rather than struggling yourself it is recommended that you contact a specialist international boat delivery firm immediately. This will help you to get the best value service without wasting any of your time. Sailing your boat around the world might sound fun, but it’s much more difficult than it appears and will also consume a lot of time. Depending on the type of boat you have, this might also be impossible, leaving international boat delivery as the only option.
Road Transport International Boat Delivery
You will need to transport your boat by land before sea if it is currently in an inland lake rather than the sea. The international boat delivery company should be able to help you to organize the road transport. This is typically done by loading the boat onto a large articulated truck and then driving to the port. If you are transporting a boat to a neighboring country then road international boat delivery might be a viable option. Check with the international boat delivery company first though for advice.
Sea Transport
A more affordable option than international boat delivery over land is sea transport. Transporting over the sea is much cheaper and also quicker for longer distances. If the destination does not have access to the sea then you would still need to arrange onward road transport. The international boat delivery company should be able to advise you which options are the most suitable.
Most international boat delivery companies will only carry boats which are considered sea worthy. They need to be able to float and still be located at the dock or port. This will make it much easier to get them loaded inside larger ships to transport them all over the world.
Roll on Roll off Transport
If your boat is less than 2500KG then it can normally be towed by a fairly standard 4×4 vehicle. This makes it possible to use Roll on Roll off transport as an even cheaper option. This is where the international boat delivery company loads your boat in the same way as a car on a ferry. This makes it easy to transport your boat to popular destinations and allows the international boat delivery firm to reduce the prices.
