    Anyone had experience with this lately? Looking for a broker or recommendations for yacht transport company.

    Hoping I don't get impacted by coming hurricane season....

    Thanks

    I shipped my 54' from Victoria B.C. to La Paz, MX last fall. I used Cross Chartering.

    Call Paul at Cross Yacht Transport. Let him know you're a YF member.

    I just spoke to Paul at Cross yacht. Seems like a good, straightforward guy. Thanks for the recommendations.

    They got my boat there safely and were the lowest cost I could find. Scheduling was a nightmare though so be prepared to be very flexible. I realize there are always challenges with scheduling but my situation was extreme.

    I have used SevenStar for 35 Cabo and 36 Luhrs, both went FLL to Costarica (Golfito). Same ship continues on to MX and then to HI and Yokohama and further. Be flexible when scheduling as most carriers will delay you until deck is as booked as possible. Above vessels I sent cost approx $20-22k ea to ship with 7S
