Sevenstar Yacht Transport
Sevenstar Yacht Transport leads the global sector in lift-on, lift-off yacht transportation, handling approximately 2,000 yachts every year. Part of the Spliethoff Group — alongside Spliethoff’s Bevrachtingskantoor, BigLift, Transfennica, and Wijnne & Barends — the company draws on extensive logistics infrastructure.
A network of offices across the United States, the UK, Australia, and Turkey, paired with agency representation in Monaco, Germany, and New Zealand, supports operations while expanding into emerging markets across Asia, South America, and Africa.
Access to Spliethoff Group’s dedicated fleet of roughly 125 carriers, ranging from 2,100 to 23,000 tonnes, allows Sevenstar Yacht Transport to deliver tailored transit options. Managing over 140 dedicated yacht transporters through an in-house operational team keeps full control over every transfer rather than subcontracting to outside parties.
Route options cover major international cruising hubs with fixed schedules, alongside custom itineraries created to reach specific ports worldwide.
Loading and securing procedures rely on certified, custom-engineered cradles and lashing systems to protect every boat during loading, voyage, and discharge. A qualified Sevenstar loadmaster personally oversees all load and offload operations on site.
For sailing yachts that cannot stand on an independent keel, Sevenstar provides specialized support cradles, transporting sailboats intact without taking down standing rigging or spars.
During transit, owners receive updates on position and journey progress. Each yacht stays locked for the duration of the voyage, undergoes daily physical inspections, and remains accessible only to authorized personnel. Final handover of keys and official documentation takes place directly with the owner or a designated representative upon reaching the destination port.
