A Proven Technology: Float-On / Float-Off
Safe, efficient, and stress-free yacht loading
How It Works — Step by Step
The float-on / float-off method is simple yet ingenious: the carrier submerges its deck, yachts float in, custom cradles secure each vessel, and then the carrier resurfaces to begin the voyage.
Submersion of the Carrier Deck
The semi-submersible carrier lowers its deck below the waterline to prepare for yacht entry.
Yachts Sail Directly Into Position
Each yacht is sailed gently into the carrier, avoiding lifts or cranes.
Custom Cradles Secure Each Vessel
Engineered cradles are placed and adjusted to perfectly fit the yacht’s hull.
Carrier Resurfaces and Voyage Begins
The water is pumped out, the deck rises, and the transport ship sets sail.
