Boat Shipping to the British Virgin Islands (BVI)
Boat Shipping to the British Virgin Islands is a specialized service for private boat owners, yacht dealers, charter companies, and marine enthusiasts who need reliable transport to the Caribbean. At All Transport Depot Inc., we ensure your vessel—whether a yacht, speedboat, pontoon, or jet ski—arrives safely, legally, and on schedule.
The BVI’s world-famous yachting culture, turquoise cruising waters, and high-end marina infrastructure make it one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean for imported vessels — from private superyachts to small personal watercraft. At All Transport Depot Inc., we design secure, cost-effective shipping solutions to the British Virgin Islands 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 your boat’s specific 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 BVI — giving you a single point of contact for the entire import process.
