What does yacht transport involve?
Yacht transport involves moving a vessel by road to a marina, shipyard, exhibition, new owner or another destination. Before departure, the exact dimensions are established and the most suitable route is assessed. Loading and unloading options, clearance heights, local regulations and possible obstacles are also identified in advance. By coordinating all these elements carefully, the transport can be carried out efficiently and according to schedule.
Tailor-made transport for every yacht
Every yacht has its own dimensions, hull shape and weight. That is why we determine the required vehicle, trailer and support equipment for each individual assignment.
The conditions at the loading and unloading locations are also included in the planning. Larger yachts require additional attention to tunnels, bridges, roundabouts and narrow passages. Where necessary, we arrange additional permits and deploy suitable escort vehicles.
Our fleet for yacht transport
Van de Wetering operates a specialist fleet consisting of various tractor units, low loaders and trailers. This allows us to select a suitable vehicle and trailer 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 extensive range of equipment allows us to respond flexibly to different transport requirements, destinations and site conditions.
Different types of boat transport
In addition to yacht transport, Van de Wetering also provides a range of other boat transport services:
Sailing boat transport: We take care of the complete transport of your sailing boat, including loading and unloading. Depending on the dimensions and configuration, our specialist vehicles can even transport two boats at the same time.
Motorboat transport: Our trucks and trailers are selected to suit the hull shape and dimensions of your motorboat. This enables us to transport almost any motorboat safely and securely.
Mast and transport crate transport: We also transport loose masts and transport crates. Masts of up to 50 metres in length can be transported.
Houseboat transport: Moving a houseboat always requires a tailor-made approach. We transport both newly built houseboats and existing houseboats that need to be relocated to a different mooring.

Van de Wetering carefully coordinates the preparation, planning and execution of each yacht transport. All parties involved, the locations and practical requirements are included in the process.
