Yacht Transport 2025 Mid-Year Report: Full Steam Ahead!

With the first half of 2025 behind us, Cross Chartering Yacht Transport is continuing to grow in a dynamic global yacht transport market.

“2025 has been a strong year so far,” said Paul Haber, President of Cross Chartering Yacht Transport. “Brokerage activity is robust, driving overall business, and we are continuing to add sailings to meet the higher-than-expected demand”.

Operational consistency has played a key role in driving performance. “There are a lot of moving parts in running a successful sailing,” said Christophe Thienpont, Chief Executive Officer, “but our operations team continues to execute efficiently, delivering reliable service across all of our routes. That’s the standard we aim to uphold.”  This consistency is reflected in our increased shipment volume and number of sailings.

Recent updates from our global team, shared on Facebook and Instagram, highlight ongoing sailings to and from Florida, Asia, the Great Lakes, the West Coast, and the Mediterranean.

“We just completed our annual sailing from Port Everglades to the Great Lakes aboard the MV Nordika Desgagnes,” Paul added. “With the summer season in full swing, timing was ideal.”

Notable sailings this summer include:

•     The transportation of a record-setting 27 yachts to Victoria on our westbound North American sailing on the MV Chipolbrok Moon in April. This surpassed the previous record of 24 yachts. The yachts on this sailing included a 115’ Benetti, a 78’ Commercial tug weighing over 300mt, a 90’ Ocean Alexander, and an 88’ Horizon.

Meanwhile, Mediterranean sailings have been steady, with two successful sailings already this year and a third on the way. Genoa, Lavrion, and Marmaris are just a few of the high-demand ports served by Cross Chartering’s expert operations team.

As the largest yacht carrier in North America by frequency of sailings and reputation with brokers, Cross Chartering is proud to remain the go-to yacht transport partner for yacht dealers, captains, and owners alike.

Looking ahead, this positive momentum is expected to carry into the second half of 2025.
