Boat Shipping to the United States is a specialized service for private boat owners, yacht dealers, and marine enthusiasts who need reliable transport into North America. At All Transport Depot Inc., we ensure your vessel—whether a yacht, speedboat, pontoon, or jet ski—arrives safely, legally, and on schedule.
The United States’ extensive coastline, major deep-water ports, and strong marina infrastructure make it a leading destination for imported vessels — from private superyachts to small personal watercraft. At All Transport Depot Inc., we design secure, cost-effective shipping solutions to the United States using RoRo, flat-rack, container, or lift-on/lift-off (LoLo) methods. Whether your vessel is trailer-ready or requires a custom cradle, we tailor every shipment to the boat’s dimensions, weight, and handling needs.
As an FMC-licensed & bonded NVOCC, All Transport Depot Inc. manages the full logistics chain — documentation, inland pickup, cradle setup, export filing, port handling, loading supervision, and destination customs support in the United States — giving you a single point of contact for the entire import process.
