Has anyone out there shipped a yacht from Asia to a port in North America and if you have do you have any recommendations/comments or thoughts. I had booked and paid to have my vessel transported by Dockwise but they recently informed me that they were delaying the voyage until February 2008, without giving me a very complete explanation. Apparently the sea trials of their new boat did not go very well. I have a very good quote from a firm named Yacht Path International. Does anyone know anything about them? Gordon Alchemy USCG Doc.

Gordon, I used Yacht Path International to ship Gentle Wind from Florida to Ensenada, several years ago. I was impressed with their personal attention to all of the details of the operation, even to the point where they arranged for a skipper and crew to assist me in moving the vessel from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach when a stevedore's "labor action" made loading in FLL impossible. I highly recommend them - no financial or other interest, just a satisfied customer! BTW, unlike Dockwise, Yacht Path loads the boats on the deck of a freighter, and they build a custom cradle on-the-fly. No float-on/ float-off. And everything is very securely tied down.
