European yacht transport comes of age

by Sail-World Cruising on 23 Apr 2011
Transboat - as big as you like SW
Dockwise and similar companies offer trans-ocean transport for yachts, but if you need your boat transported only in the Europe area, there's a yacht transportation service that might just be more suitable, and they've been around for over 40 years.

They are called MCL Transboat, and they claim not only to be the safest, but also the most economical.

Combining a fleet of MCL trucks and specialised boat trailers across Europe with MCL Group's experienced logistical transport planning team, they provide a comprehensive road haulage

system for individual yachts or for racing yacht campaigns.

With instant delivery updates and ETA's the system is ideal for holiday plans or for globetrotting raceboats, when time is critical.

By using MCL's established network, they can plan any combination of road or sea transport to suit the tightest and most detailed of schedules.

Founded in 1968, MCL Transboat has established itself as a Key Player in Boat Transportation & Logistics. With 18 purpose built boat trailers including a 35 metre, 80 ton capacity 'GOLDHOFER'. The largest trailer ever designed for the movement of all types of

craft by road.

For over 30 years MCL Transboat has been transporting all makes of boats to every marina and port across Europe and its islands; even as far afield as Moscow.

They claim experience with all kinds of craft, from Mono Hulls to Multi Hulls and arrange all customs documentation.

Next time you either run out of time or simply don't want to do the long legs, ask for a quote: Email: enquiries@mcltransboat.com
