Boat Shipping Options to Puerto Rico
Flexibility is key when partnering with an overseas boat shipper like us. Here are the three top options we offer you.
Containerized Shipping
Your boat should be smaller than 28′ by 8.6’ to use this option. It will be secured inside an appropriately sized container, either 20 or 40 feet.
RoRo Shipping
Your boat should be smaller than 15 feet in height to use this option. Once secured on the ship, it will be towed off again once in Puerto Rico.
Lift on, Lift off
To use this option, your boat will be too big for RORO or containerized shipping. Cranes will be utilized to get your boat on and off the ship.

Large vessels are shipped at a higher cost than smaller ones. The loading method used also has a bearing on shipping costs.
