The majority of yacht transport companies have been problematic for various people. Yacht Path was one of the huge blowups. Then there was Yacht World I believe. The only two I know of that have consistently performed and received good
reviews have been Sevenstar and DYT (formerly Dockwise).
Also, to anyone transporting,
Insurance. In most cases the transporter will not claim responsibility. Good transport companies will advise you on getting
insurance but most transport companies do not provide it themselves. DYT does include insurance with their quoted
price but you may want additional. SevenStar includes it in most quotations but you actually get it through Pantaenius.
Now this practice is not limited to yacht transport. This is standard for all transport, from household moving to international shipment of containers of products.
In most cases the carrier does state in the contract their limits of liability and often is it something very low such as 60 cents a pound or so. The only way the carrier can generally be held responsible for more is to prove gross negligence and that is normally very difficult to impossible.
So choose transport companies wisely and insure your yacht for transport.
