Cross Chartering Yacht Transport Reported Record Year in North America Yacht Transport
Cross Chartering Yacht Transport, the largest yacht carrier in North America, is celebrating a banner year. 2023 was a record year for Cross Chartering and our momentum is continuing into 2024.
2023 was a strong year for yacht brokerage, particularly in boats selling in Florida to buyers from the West Coast of North America and is continuing into 2024. We had a record year in both the number of North American sailings and boats shipped. In 2023, we had twenty-four North American sailings between the East and West Coasts of North America, which was more than any other carrier in North America. We are continuing to add sailings to meet this increase in demand. This means our clients can continue to expect regular and reliable service.
Why Choose Cross Chartering for North American Yacht Transport
Our North American business had grown so much that we are presently offering an almost monthly North American service in both directions between the East and West Coasts.
Paul Haber, President of Cross Chartering Yacht Transport USA, commented, “2023 was a record year for Cross and our momentum is continuing into 2024. Almost all of our sailings in North America were chock-a-block as we met the increased demand for transport from yacht brokerage.
We are pleased that yacht brokers, yacht builders and captains are continuing to refer their clients to Cross as we have become known for reliable year-round sailings, competitive pricing, customized logistical solutions and excellent customer service.”
We Specialize in Heavy Lift and Customized Yacht Transport Logistics
Our operations and logistics team are becoming the first call for yacht brokers, yacht builders and superyacht captains due to our repeated success in heavy lift and complex loadings, which goes far beyond the yacht shipping business alone. For example, in June, Cross successfully transported a 650mt boat, the 173’ Vixit from Ensenada to Port Everglades.
We are the preferred transporter of factory boats for nearly all of the Asian Yacht Builders in the Xiamen/Kaohsiung area. Christophe Thienpont, Managing Director and owner of Cross Chartering Antwerp commented, “We have been the preferred transporter for these factory boats from Asia to North America for over twenty years, because we are commercially and technically reliable and always looking to improve and/or adjust our service. We are also seeing an increase in brokerage yachts being shipped from Asia.
We will continue to strive to meet the individual needs of our clients. To learn more please contact us online or by phone at +1 (954) 686-6902.
