Process of Shipping Boats Internationally
Here’s a short overview of how International Boat Transport process works:
- After accepting the quote and terms from our Company – Make the reservation
- Our team will contact you (or the seller of the boat) to review the details and set up shipping dates.
- Confirm that all required documents including the boat title and bill of sale are available.
- If you requested the pick up – we will dispatch the tow-away or trucking company to pick up the boat / yacht.
If you’re delivering the boat to the port or warehouse yourself – we will provide the delivery instructions and documents. - Your boat will be shipped depending on the type of the service we agreed:
++ with roll-on roll-off service your boat will stay at the port until the next Ro/Ro vessel arrives for loading. No unrelated items inside the boat are allowed.
++ with full container load or flat-rack service your boat will be loaded right away. You may have extra items inside the boat and container
++with lift-on lift-off service your boat / yacht will be lifted from the water & secured to a cradle before it’s loaded onto the vessel’s deck - We file the export declaration and submit the boat title / bill of sale to US Customs for export clearance
- Boat / Yacht (or container with the boat) is loaded onto the ocean vessel
- The vessel operator provides us with the shipping document – Bill of Lading. It may take 3-5 days after the vessel departure.
- We will issue Marine Insurance if you requested it
- We will request the final payment for our service (if it hasn’t been done earlier)
- All shipping documents and your boat title & bill of sale are returned to you by mail (as per options you selected on your Booking Form)
- We will provide you the contact details of the port agent so you can get ready to receive your boat at the destination.
