The perfect yacht isn't always nearby
The perfect yacht isn't always around the corner. Fortunately, it doesn't need to be.
Whether you're buying or selling a yacht, distance is far less of a barrier than it once was. Professional yacht transport connects the world's major yachting destinations, enabling owners, brokers, and buyers to think globally when finding the right yacht. A buyer in Florida can confidently purchase a Dutch-built motor yacht. A family seeking a catamaran may find the ideal boat in the Mediterranean. A seller on the U.S. West Coast can market a yacht to buyers across the Atlantic. Once the deal is complete, professional yacht transport can bridge the gap.
Turning distance into opportunity
The ability to transport yachts safely and reliably gives brokers the freedom to think globally. Rather than limiting clients to local availability, brokers can focus on what matters most: finding the right yacht. Whether it's delivering a yacht from Italy to Fort Lauderdale, relocating a newly purchased catamaran from France to the Caribbean, or shipping a custom-built yacht from the Netherlands to the U.S. East Coast, professional yacht transport turns distance into a practical matter rather than a commercial obstacle. For buyers, that means access to a much wider selection of yachts. For sellers, it opens the door to an international audience. And for brokers, it offers greater flexibility to match the right yacht with the right owner, wherever the yacht may be.
From purchase to home port
Whether you've purchased a new yacht from a shipyard or found a pre-owned yacht overseas, professional yacht transport provides a safe and efficient way to bring your yacht to its new home port. By avoiding long delivery passages, owners can minimize wear and tear, preserve valuable cruising time, and gain confidence that their yacht is handled by experienced transport specialists. Transport is also a practical solution for owners relocating between cruising grounds. Rather than undertaking a lengthy offshore passage, accumulating engine hours and exposing the yacht to unnecessary wear, owners can have their yacht transported directly to their next destination and step aboard ready to cruise.
More than shipping
Moving a yacht across oceans is far more than simply loading it onto a ship. Every transport begins months before departure, with route planning, scheduling, customs formalities, marina coordination, insurance, lifting plans, and technical preparations. Each yacht is unique, and each shipment requires a tailored approach. For more than 40 years, Sevenstar has specialized exclusively in yacht transport. Today, we arrange the shipment of approximately 2,500 yachts each year, ranging from sailing yachts and catamarans to luxury motor yachts, superyachts, and custom tenders.
As part of the Spliethoff Group, Sevenstar benefits from access to a fleet of 145 company-owned vessels. This allows for flexible routing, reliable schedules, and worldwide capacity, providing owners and brokers with greater certainty.
Sevenstar's scheduled services connect Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, both the East and West Coasts of America, Asia, and beyond, supported by an extensive worldwide logistics network.
As yacht ownership becomes increasingly international, professional yacht transport plays an increasingly important role in connecting people with opportunities around the world.
Because the perfect yacht is not always nearby.
