The Boat Shipping Process
At MCC World International, we provide a full range of services to make importing or exporting boats and yachts seamless. From preparation to final delivery, we handle every detail with care and expertise:
Step 1: Boat Evaluation and Preparation
We’ll work with you to evaluate your boat’s dimensions (length, height, and beam) and explore ways to make it more compact for shipping. For yachts, this might include removing the bowsprit or keel, while motor yachts may benefit from detaching the flybridge or radar arches. These adjustments, which typically take just a few hours of labour, can significantly reduce freight costs.
If your boat isn’t on a trailer, we can rent you a fully adjustable steel cradle or build a custom cradle to ensure safe transport.
Step 2: Select Your Freight Option
Together, we’ll help you decide on the best shipping method for your boat. Whether it’s Roll-On Roll-Off (RoRo) for boats on trailers or Flat Rack Shipping for larger or irregularly shaped vessels, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective and secure option based on your boat’s size, shape, and destination.
Step 3: Arrange Lifting and Port Transport
Where possible, we’ll help you avoid costly water lifts at the port by organising a lift at a nearby marina and transporting your boat by road to the port. This option works well if your boat can be made low enough for road transport. If a water discharge is necessary, we’ll coordinate the process, keeping factors like port lighting and quarantine inspections in mind to avoid unnecessary delays.
Step 4: Handle All Formalities
Leave the paperwork to us! We’ll manage all customs clearance, import permits, quarantine compliance, and port documentation to ensure your boat meets Australian and international regulations without any hassle.
Step 5: Secure Shipping and Delivery
Once your boat is loaded and ready for its journey, we’ll oversee its safe transport to its destination. Whether you need it delivered directly to your marina, a storage facility, or another location, we’ll ensure it arrives securely and on time.
