Yacht Transport
Service Overview
Yacht Transport
Yacht transport requires specialized equipment, experienced handling, and precise planning to protect both the vessel structure and surface finish during transit. Abnormal Transports provides fully managed yacht transport solutions by road and sea for new and used motorboats, sailing yachts, and special floating units across Europe and on international routes.
Each yacht transport project is planned individually, taking into account hull geometry, keel type, mast configuration, dimensions, weight, and loading conditions. Our operational focus is safety, structural integrity, and full regulatory compliance from pickup to final delivery.
Scope of Yacht Transport Services
Motor yachts and powerboats- Sailing yachts with fixed or removable keels
- Catamarans and multihull vessels
- New yachts collected directly from shipyards and dealers
- Used yachts purchased from private owners or auctions
- Boats transported with or without mast
- Oversized yachts exceeding standard road dimensions
Transport concepts are adapted individually depending on vessel size, destination, and operational constraints.
Road Transport Solutions
For road transport, we deploy dedicated equipment selected to match hull geometry and route conditions:
- Yacht trailers with adjustable supports and keel cradles
- Low loader and lowbed trailers for large and heavy yachts
- Extendable trailers for long hulls
- Custom-built frames adapted to specific hull geometry
For smaller and medium-sized yachts, we also operate a dedicated Dodge Ram towing unit combined with a professional yacht trailer, allowing flexible access to marinas, shipyards, and locations with limited infrastructure.
Sea-to-Sea Transport for Larger Units
For large yachts and units where road transport is not technically or economically feasible, we organize sea-to-sea transport solutions.
This includes:
- Short-sea and deep-sea yacht transport
- Ro-Ro solutions for floating units
- Transport on deck, flat-rack, or cradle systems
- Port handling and maritime coordination
- Supervision during loading and unloading operations
Loading, Handling, and Unloading
- Coordination of crane, travel lift, and port handling operations
- Supervision during lifting, positioning, and securing
- Correct keel support alignment and weight distribution
- Mast handling and securing when transported separately
- Unloading supervision at marinas, shipyards, ports, or private locations
Professional Skipper Service
As an additional service, we provide professional skipper support for yacht relocations where sailing the vessel is the optimal solution.
Our skipper service includes:
- Delivery voyages between ports and marinas
- Sea trials and repositioning of new or used yachts
- Yacht transfers where road or sea freight transport is not required
- Support during commissioning or handover
Regulatory Compliance and Route Planning
- Oversized transport permits for road transport

Each project is analyzed individually to minimize risk and ensure operational feasibility.
