Shipping by Water

For sailboats located on or near navigable waterways, transporting by water is an excellent option. ShipLux has a skilled captain plus crew to navigate your sailboat to the final destination. This method allows your boat to be in its natural element during transport.

Flatbed or Multi-Boat Trailer Transport

When dealing with larger, heavier, or uniquely shaped sailboats, a flatbed or multi-boat trailer is often the most suitable transport method. ShipLux is proficient in the complex process of lifting, bracing, and securing boats onto a flatbed trailer. We use cranes and specialized cradles to ensure your boat is safely and securely transported.

For boats exceeding certain dimensions (wider than 12 feet or higher than 13 feet 6 inches), the transport is classified as an “oversized load.” ShipLux handles all aspects of such transports, including obtaining necessary permits and arranging pilot cars if required. 

We believe in keeping our clients informed and supported throughout the transport process. Our dedicated customer service team is always available (honestly, you can contact us 24/7!) to answer questions and provide updates, ensuring a transparent and stress-free experience from start to finish.

Checklist

How to Prepare Your Sailboat for Transport

Ahead of every shipment, we ask clients to prepare their vehicles, as it is key to a successful transport. After we know more about sailboats, we can provide more personalized prep steps, but in general please do the following:


  • Remove or securely fasten all items on deck and inside the cabin to prevent damage.
  • Prepare all necessary documents, including registration and any customs paperwork for international transport.
  • Thoroughly document the condition of your sailboat pre-transport for reference.
  • Ensure masts, sails, and rigging are safely stowed or removed.
  • Check fuel levels and secure the battery to prevent leaks/electrical issues.
