How these prices are built
- One cost model prices every row, the service pages and the calculator, so the same boat or machine gets the same number everywhere.
- Ocean freight by method plus bunker and emergency surcharges, the U.S. origin package, and the loading, blocking or lashing the method needs. Container cells start from our lane card; open-deck methods follow the region's rate per cubic metre or revenue ton.
- "From" is the 25th percentile of the evidence for that lane and method, never the single lowest quote, and every figure is rounded up to the next $100. Lanes sailed from the far coast carry the model's coast factor.
- Where the table says "Quoted per shipment", the method does not run to that country or the object needs a survey first.

Boat shipping rates: FAQ
How much does it cost to ship a boat overseas from the USA?
Overseas, a jet ski starts at $1,000 in a shared container (Mexico), a 26′ center console at $4,100 in a 40′ high cube (Mexico) and $4,400 by RoRo on its trailer (Mexico). A 34′ express cruiser on a flat rack starts at $11,600 (Belgium) and a 60′ motor yacht at $33,500 by yacht carrier or breakbulk (Dominican Republic). Each figure is port-to-port with surcharges and the U.S. origin package.
Is a container or RoRo cheaper for a boat?
For a 26′ center console that fits a 40′ high cube, the container is lower to 90 of the 94 overseas destinations that offer both, because the box carries a flat lane rate while RoRo bills every cubic metre of boat and trailer. RoRo wins once the boat is too wide or tall to side-load, or when it should arrive on its own trailer.
Does it cost more to ship from the West Coast?
To Europe, Africa, the Americas and the Gulf, RoRo from Los Angeles / Long Beach runs about 34% above the East & Gulf Coast price at the median, so a boat in California often trucks east first. Container cells follow the lane card from either coast. Asia and Oceania sail from the West Coast, so those rows default to it.
What do these prices leave out?
The importer's side: arrival port handling and the clearing agent, typically $400 to $2,400 per unit depending on the region, then duty and taxes. We have worked the duty formula, in each country's own order, for 12 countries; the calculator adds them, with the U.S.-origin rate where a trade agreement applies. Trucking to the U.S. port and marine insurance are optional extras.
How current are these figures?
The model was last reviewed on October 26, 2026. Each quarter we re-check freight indices and RoRo bunker factors, the EU tariff suspension on U.S. goods, Strait of Hormuz routing and the West African levies, and every page re-dates together. The full table downloads as CSV.
