Classic Sailing Yacht Shipping Requires TLC

Classic sailing yachts are more than just vessels—they are icons of craftsmanship and history. Transporting these yachts requires precision and expertise to protect their delicate designs.

At Cross Chartering Yacht Transport, we specialize in large sailboat transport, handling these vessels with the care they deserve. As the largest yacht shipping company in North America, we provide reliable and cost-effective boat transport solutions for owners, captains, and brokers worldwide.

Why Sailboats Need Specialized Attention

Classic schooners are renowned for their intricate woodwork, timeless designs, and historical significance.

They demand careful handling every step of their journey from one port to the next. Their delicate rigging, masts, and unique hulls require a detailed approach to creating a lift plan that preserves their value and condition.

Each schooner is unique, which is why we tailor our logistics and processes to the specific needs of these boats. From custom cradles to precision lifting techniques, we ensure every aspect of the transport is designed to protect your precious investment.

Expertise That Makes the Difference

At Cross Chartering, we’ve developed a process specifically for large sailboat transport. Most of our U.S. business involves moving yachts from the East Coast to the West Coast, including the highly popular route from Port Everglades to Port Ensenada in Baja California, is a top choice for owners and brokers relocating their classic yachts.

Here is what sets our yacht transport services apart:

• Pre-Transport Planning: Our experienced team carefully reviews each yacht’s dimensions and unique features to plan every step of the transport. We create a lift plan long before we set sail.
• Specialized Equipment: We use custom cradles and heavy-duty slings designed to protect the hull and rigging during loading and unloading.
• Experienced Loadmasters: Our loadmasters have years of experience in securing delicate yachts, ensuring that every vessel is properly supported throughout the journey.

“Our experience and attention to detail give owners confidence that their yachts are in good hands,” says Christophe Thienpont, CEO of Cross Chartering.

How We Handle Your Vessel

This process involves careful planning and execution. Every step of the process is designed to maintain the condition of your vessel, from the keel to the rigging.

Our process includes:

1. Thorough Inspections: We inspect each yacht before transport to identify unique features that require extra care.
2. Precision Loading and Unloading: Using advanced equipment, we lift and secure yachts to avoid stress on delicate parts.
3. Monitoring During Transit: Our team monitors conditions during transport to address any challenges and keep the yacht secure.

By taking these steps, we ensure your vessel is delivered in the same condition as when it was loaded.
