How about a yacht card for the Yacht Express (it's a ship I know, but pretty close to being a yacht, why not?).

Her first voyage from the shipyard will be to Australia and New Zealand then across the Pacific to the USA - starting in May/June. In actual fact the new ship will be in Auckland 22 July through 28 July to collect all the new builds from the local yards for export as well as yachts returning North.

Yacht Express is the new Dockwise Yacht Transport ship built specifically for yachts. She's huge! Under construction at Yantai Raffles, she will be in the water next week, then fitting out, sea trials and ready for the summer.

We have had very good experiences with Dock Wise for transporting yachts. They are a very professional operation with very capable crews. I would recommend them if you are considering having your boat moved. As far as the ships being built for oil rigs, I have seen several of the ships and they are designed to carry yachts. They have other heavy
lift carriers like Blue Marlin that do carry other cargo.
Check out their web site www.dockwise.com.

Does anyone have any information or comments about Dockwise Yacht
Transport. Good and bad points? Rumor is they are building a new ship specifically for carrying yachts (the other ships were built for carrying
oil rigs) and the new ship should be out Spring of 2007. Supposed to be bigger that the biggest one now, the Super Servant 4.
