Last year on May, 2007 Dockwise Yacht Transport (DYT), the world's only float-on/float-off yacht transport service, launched its newest ship, which provides yacht owners with faster and more frequent delivery of their luxury power and sailing yachts across the Atlantic Ocean.

The 685.7-foot (209 meters) Yacht Express, built at the Yantai Raffles Shipyard in China is the largest vessel of its kind in the world, purpose-built with a semi-submersible dock bay that allows yachts of any size to be safely floated on and off as cargo. Yacht Express is one of the five semi-submersible yacht carrier owned by the liner service of DYT.


Most amazing is that this ship is designed to have a service speed of 18 knots which means that a transatlantic voyage with this ultra modern yacht carrier can be reduced by nearly 50%, thats from 15 to 8 days!
Yacht Express also feature's amenities not found on the other DYT ships such as complimentary cabins for ride-aboard crew, an atrium with swimming pool, conference room, media and fitness facilities, which allows added comfort and entertainment during transit.

The launch of the Yacht Express is a major milestone in the development of the yacht transport industry. With a beam of 106 feet (32.2 meters) and deck space of 55,060 feet (5,115 square meters), the vessel has a carrying capacity of 5,000 metric tons, which allows Yacht Express to accommodate more yachts on regularly scheduled trips to and from Florida and the Mediterranean.


Since its maiden voyage in 1987, DYT has transported over 8,000 motor and sailing yachts to various destinations around the globe, offering owners and charterers safe and easy access to many of the world’s premier cruising grounds. Dockwise Yacht Transport is specialized in the maritime transports of luxury (mega) yachts and is a group company of Dockwise Transport B.V., the global leader in maritime transports of extremely large and heavy cargo. DYT is based in Fort Lauderdale, and with a fleet of five dedicated yacht carriers its the world's leading provider of yacht transportation on a regular liner service.
