Safe yacht shipping for domestic and international routes
Transporting yachts—whether a motor yacht, sailing yacht, superyacht, or catamaran—requires precise planning and secure execution.
Whether your vessel is bound for the Maldives, Dubai, or the U.S. Gulf Coast, every aspect must be managed with expert oversight.
Understanding The Logistics of Yacht Transport
Yacht transport involves multiple variables: size, weight, lifting points, origin, destination, and sea or road access.
At Texas International Freight, we coordinate every detail from pickup to final delivery.
We work with ports around the world, including key marinas in the UAE and luxury docks in the Maldives.
Safety Comes First
Each yacht is assessed individually and loaded using specialized cradles and lift systems to avoid hull damage.
We partner with breakbulk shipping providers to accommodate oversized vessels when containerized shipping isn’t feasible.
Proper lashing, shrink wrapping, and protective gear help minimize exposure to saltwater and movement during transit.
Security Measures for Yacht Transport
Luxury yachts are high-value targets.
We deploy GPS tracking and offer cargo insurance for added protection.
For sensitive or valuable onboard equipment, we recommend secure export packing solutions.
We also provide escort and surveillance options when transporting across regions with higher risks.
International Regulations to Consider
Customs, import taxes, and marine documentation vary by country.
From registering your superyacht in Dubai to meeting clearance procedures in Southeast Asia, our team ensures compliance at every step.
We handle shipping paperwork, clearance, and coordination with port agents worldwide.
