Weekly FR Boating Thread ~ Vol. 2 ~ Feb 3, 2012 ~ “Off Season”

Last week’s thread had 26 posts, including the source for this week’s thread – boat transportation.

I have helped clients ship vessels of all sizes and types all over North America and overseas. Except for two small scratches, every shipping project was successful, albeit harrowing on occasion.

To help ensure your boat shipping efforts are successful, I will provide boat transportation suggestions and sources via separate posts.

Please feel free to share your experiences and comments – vessel shipping related and otherwise.

Post away, and/or ping me to sign up for this Weekly FR Boating Thread ping list.

Happy boating!

That must have been fun;)

I seem to remember that certain Merchant ships also had passenger cabins available to the public that were less expensive than trans-Atlantic passenger ships such as SS America and the QE1 - in the 50’s & 60’s they were cheaper than flying.

My mom and a couple of her girlfriends sailed from Yokohama to Bangkok and back on a Norwegian freighter.

My wife and I and another couple have taken trips across the Great Lakes on ore carriers (I was a fuel supplier to the fleets.)

If you look around, you can find off beat excursions like this.
