Transporting a yacht requires specialist knowledge, suitable equipment and meticulous preparation. Van de Wetering provides professional yacht and boat transport for vessels of various types and sizes, from compact motor yachts to large luxury yachts. Thanks to many years of experience, specialist vehicles and skilled drivers, Van de Wetering can transport yachts safely throughout the Netherlands and to destinations across Europe.
Yacht transport involves transporting a vessel by road to, for example, a marina, shipyard, boat show or new owner. Before departure, the exact dimensions of the yacht are established and the most suitable route is determined. Loading and unloading options, clearance heights, local regulations and potential obstacles are also assessed in advance. By carefully coordinating these factors, the transport can be carried out efficiently and according to schedule.
Every yacht has different dimensions, a unique hull shape and a specific weight. For this reason, we determine the most suitable vehicle, trailer and support system for each individual transport. The conditions at both the loading and unloading locations are also taken into account during the preparation process.
Larger yachts require additional attention when it comes to tunnels, bridges, roundabouts and narrow passages. Where necessary, additional permits are arranged and appropriate transport escort services are used.
We offer various types of boat transport:
We can customize our trucks so that any hull shape and any motorboat, regardless of size, can be transported.
Are you planning to move and do you live on a houseboat? We’d be happy to move your houseboat to your new address! Transporting a houseboat always requires a customized approach. Whether you’re installing a new houseboat or moving to a new location after purchasing an existing one.
We can handle every aspect of your sailboat transport for you, including loading and unloading. No matter the situation, we can transport your boat and deliver it to your desired location. Thanks to our unique trucks, we can transport two boats at the same time.
Does your boat’s mast need to be transported? No problem: we can transport masts up to 50 meters long!
Van de Wetering has a specialised fleet consisting of various tractor units, low-loaders and trailers. This allows us to select the most suitable vehicle combination for each yacht.
The support system is adapted to the shape and dimensions of the hull, helping to keep the vessel stable throughout the journey. Our wide range of equipment enables us to respond flexibly to different transport requirements, destinations and conditions at the loading and unloading locations.
