Yacht transport

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.

What is involved in yacht transport?

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.

Specialist solutions tailored to every yacht

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.

Our fleet for yacht transport

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.

In addition to yacht transport, Van de Wetering provides a range of other specialist boat transport services:

  • Sailing yacht transport: We take care of the complete transport of your sailing yacht, including loading and unloading. Thanks to our specialised vehicles, we can even transport two boats at the same time in certain situations.
  • Motorboat transport: Our trucks and trailers are selected according to the hull shape and dimensions of your motorboat. This enables us to transport almost any motorboat safely and securely.
  • Mast and crate transport: We also provide transport for separate masts and crates. We can transport masts up to 50 metres in length.
  • Houseboat transport: Moving a houseboat always requires a tailor-made approach. We provide transport for both newly built houseboats and existing houseboats that need to be relocated to a different mooring.
