Target Cargo Services LLC | Boat & Yacht Shipping
At Target Cargo Services, we understand that transporting your boat requires the safest handling at the best rates. Whether it’s domestic or international, we help you navigate every step—from choosing the right transporter to preparing your boat for a smooth move.
Proper preparation is key to a successful boat transport. Follow these steps to ensure your boat reaches its destination safely:
Choose a loading area with at least 14′ clearance.
Secure all loose items above and below deck.
Close, secure, and seal all hatches.
Latch and tape cabin windows from the outside.
Drain fuel and water tanks.
Remove drain plugs from the hull.
Disconnect batteries and secure cables safely.
Measure your boat to ensure it complies with legal loaded height requirements.
Take photos before dismantling any equipment to make reassembly easier.
Remove all personal items and clean your boat thoroughly.
Have your boat inspected by a licensed marine surveyor.
Domestic boat shipping involves transporting your boat within the UAE, whether city-to-city or state-to-state. Inland transport is usually the preferred method. When planning domestic shipping, consider:
Type of carrier required for pickup and delivery
Most effective route
Necessary permits and insurance
Equipment needed during pickup and delivery
Weather conditions during transportation
When shipping your boat overseas, several transport options are available:
Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO): Your boat remains on a trailer for the trip. Remove or lower booms, antennas, and radar towers to reduce height and shipping costs.
Enclosed Container: Ideal for boats fitting standard container dimensions (40′ long, 7′10″ high, 7′8″ wide). Cost-effective, but trailer height counts toward limits.
Flat Rack: For oversized boats. Boats are secured in custom cradles on the flat rack. Removing bulky items can save significantly on freight costs.
Submersion: The boat is loaded and unloaded directly from water.
Prepare all legal and customs documents in advance. Consult foreign embassies or consulates for guidance.
Winterize your boat to prevent engine and interior damage.
Shrinkwrap for added protection and security.
Ship valuable electronics separately to avoid loss.
We provide decades of experience and global expertise to ensure your boat shipping is safe, efficient, and cost-effective. Our team works closely with you to find the best transport options and guide you through every step, so you can move your boat confidently anywhere in the world.
