Ship a Boat to Netherlands

Shipping a Boat From USA to The Netherlands

Shipping a boat from the USA to the Netherlands starts with a free quote from us here at Ship Overseas. We will need the Year/Make/Model of your boat, Pickup Zip Code or Departure Port, and Destination Country, in this case, The Netherlands. Ship Overseas offers weekly sailings from two ports in the USA to one port in The Netherlands.

Don’t fret about the process. We make it easy to ship a boat to the Netherlands based on our 40 years of experience!

All boats must be on a trailer!

Departure and Arrival Ports

The departure ports from the USA to The Netherlands include:

  • Newark, NJ
  • Long Beach, CA

There is only one arrival port in The Netherlands and that is Rotterdam, Europe’s largest seaport and the world’s largest besides East Asia. It’s located near the city of Rotterdam and in the province of South Holland.  

How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Boat to The Netherlands?

For specific prices on shipping a boat to the Netherlands, it’s best to simply contact Ship Overseas. Overall, though, your price tag can be determined by:

  • The size of the boat. It costs more to ship a large yacht vs. a small boat.
  • Where you ship out of. It costs more to ship from the West Coast than the East Coast.
  • Whether you plan to transport your boat to the port on your own. It costs more for our truck drivers to come get it from your home and bring it to the port. But when you factor in the gas, time off work, lodging and other costs you would incur to bring your own boat to the port, sometimes it’s just more convenient and affordable for our drivers to do it.
Shipped my car from the Netherlands to the US(via Belgium), everything went smoothly. The whole thing was relatively painless.

We recommend Shipoverseas for their top-notch international shipping services. They transported our Mazda 6 from California to Galveston, Texas, and onward to Derince, Turkey. The entire process was smooth, with the car arriving in perfect condition within few months. Jack, Gary, and Miron our contacts at the company, provided prompt communication and timely updates throughout. Their accessibility in addressing any concerns were valuable. With this positive experience, we plan to be regular customers!

We shipped our vehicle from Hawaii to Belgium. We contacted several companies online. Miron from Ship Overseas was the first to get back to us. This was our first time shipping a vehicle internationally and we had no idea what the entire process was going to be like. Some of the reviews we read said the company wasn't very responsive or communicative. We had quite the opposite experience. Miron communicated with us every step of the way. Communication was extremely important to us as this was quite a complicated process. Miron answered all our questions and provided all necessary details of the process. He was also very upfront with the fees and even advised us of what fees to expect here in Belgium. Our car made it to Belgium on schedule without any hassle. Miron's contact here in Belgium was also very thorough. I recommend Miron from Ship Overseas 100%.

Highly recommended. Paul, Miron, and team were very thorough/detail oriented. It was my first time having a car shipped from Europe which I purchased. He made sure I had all the paperwork needed. They also arranged transportation both to and from the ports.

I feel bad as I see a lot of people writing bad comments about this company. I've NEVER had a problem with them. NEVER.(Regarding the negative reviews..)Ship overseas is not an insurance provider, but rather a shipping company -- you must make sure to get insurance when shipping your vehicle so that no damages occur to it. They don't own the ship, nor workers, and of course as a result cannot guarantee the people on the ship won't damage your car.ShipOverseas is my go-to when I have to ship my cars. Which sounds funny to say, but I've actually shipped my car multiple times with them.Jack, one of the agents and owner is always very helpful, and does a great job of putting in trust in clients by making sure you understand the process in detail.I've transported my CLA45 AMG from the US to Belgium, without a problem, and have shipped it back, and am now buying a new car and shipping it back!You could say I'm somewhat of a (very happy) repeat customer – Photos for reference!

We highly recommend Shipoverseas services! Not only are they specialized in shipping gas/diesel motor operated cars but also specialize in shipping EV vehicles as well. We used there International shipping services to ship a 2022 Porsche Taycan to Dubai. The car arrived in less than a month in perfect shape, same as leaving our location. We worked with both Jack and Gary, both were great communicating and providing a timely status update. We will definitely be a regular customer! Thank you Jack and Gary!

We got a really good services. Jack always answers your so many questions with a short delay , for sure in the day , most of the time in the hour ( and in the minute too ). Really good communication. That's why we choose Ship Over Seas from the other company quotes we received. Good services , good prices , that's the criteria for our choice we don't regret at all. Thanks again.

Shipped my car from NC to Puerto Rico. They took care of the transport of my car from NC to the port in FL, and then on the ship from FL to PR. The staff was very responsive to all communications I sent, especially while my car was in transit. I always knew exactly where my vehicle was. Very kind and helpful staff, especially when I was just calling to inquire in the beginning. Will use them again if I ever need to ship my car back stateside.

I used Ship Overseas back in 2019 to ship my 2008 Harley Softtail from Galveston Texas to Belgium. I forget exactly how long it took, perhaps in the two month range. However, the bike did eventually arrive and was completely ready for me at pickup. They even handled all the import paperwork etc. My only complaint would be that somehow the bike had accumulated almost 100 extra miles on it from when I dropped in off, and picking it up. Perhaps they needed to run it around the boat a few 1000 times. Also, there were a couple of parts missing from my saddle bags. Lesson: NEVER leave anything that can't be bolted to the object you are shipping. Otherwise, great service and a very good shipping experience.

ShipOverseas was a great partner in shipping a Chevy Bolt EV to Helsinki Finland. The representatives provided easily understood descriptions of the roll on-roll off process, required paperwork, payments, etc. We drove the car onto the Galveston, TX dock with an accompanying guide. It was 100% smoothly accomplished. The car was transferred in Germany without problems (it is an electric vehicle with some unique starting characteristics) and offloaded near Helsinki, Finland. The photo shows incredibly clean conditions at the destination despite weeks at sea. I can highly recommend ShipOverseas for safe, economical, and successful vehicle shipping.

If you never had your car shipped before, I can tell you that it can be a very fearful, and stressful event, but I can vouch 1st hand that this agency took all the thought fear and stress away! We moved my XT-5 from DFW to overseas (Bahrain). We didn't have any issues, and it was relatively fast considering it's been shipped across the seas. I will 100% recommend this company to anyone and everyone. Hassle-free and delivers what was promised. I'll definitely be using them whenever we decide to return stateside!

I shipped two cars from Savannah to Germany. Super easy process and the rates were better than anyone elses that i was getting for the same route. Would recommend them to anyone for their shipping needs. They helped along the way to get the documents needed and explained the process clearly so i knew exactly what needed to be done to have my cars on the boat that I needed them to be on. Pickup on the other side was easy as well with who shipoverseas was partnered with where my vehicles arrived. They were in contact with me often so i knew that the vehicles were on time and when to have everything ready. I will certainly be in touch again when it's time to return from my oversea travels. Thanks for the smooth process!

This company and team were tremendously professional & also the least expensive company I found. I researched quite a few before settling on ShipOverseas. I’m glad I chose them, they were able to deliver my vehicle to my destination port in Korea when others said they could only deliver to one port in Korea and for less money. I will definitely use them again and recommend anyone shipping anyone to consult with ShipOverseas.com. Well done!

Hello Tere! Last summer I sent my car to Estonia. I was scared little bit because it was my first time ( maybe even last!) to do this kind of thing. But it went very smoothly - unexpectedly . Most difficult thing was driving myself to the port, but I did it! I could order somebody from Ship Overseas, but it cost money. And paperwork was pretty normal. The same day, I left to the airport, I got phone call that they sent car title to my old address. Wow! I thought that this title goes directly to the Estonian port, but I was wrong. They sent this very important paper over to my son.It arrived on time when I was ready to show car documents to the toll office. Everything ended very well ! Thanks to Ship Overseas. And , by the way, sending my car to Estonia was much, much cheaper than other companies offered. I am thankful !!!

Customs Broker Information

We will assign a broker to you (it’s listed on the Doc Receipt).

Documents Required to Ship a Boat to The Netherlands

You will need the bill of sale to ship a boat to The Netherlands.

Destination Handling Charge

We will hook you up with the Customs Clearance broker; it’s part of their service.

Shipping Method for Shipping a Boat to The Netherlands

Our shipping vessels depart on a weekly basis from both U.S. seaports listed above to Rotterdam in The Netherlands. For boats, we offer the RoRo shipping method to the Netherlands.

RoRo Shipping (Roll-On/Roll-Off)

This is commonly used for transporting wheeled vehicles such as boats, motorcycles, motorhomes, campers, trailers, buses, and construction vehicles. Because it’s our most popular, cost-effective, and efficient shipping method, you can count on set departure and arrival dates, similar to that of an airline. All boats are secured to the deck with no exposure to the ocean and elements.

Do You Need Marine Insurance?

While not required, we do recommend you purchase it.

We offer 1.75% of the value of the boat for FULL coverage, theft, vandalism, total loss, damage with $500 deductible. Coverage starts at time when the boat is loaded onto the ship until the time it is signed for when it is collected. Total Loss for 1.25% charge for the value of the boat.

If you feel that Marine Insurance is not within your budget, you don’t have to cover 100% of the boat’s value. You can actually cover the boat for 50% or $75% of the value. Just keep in mind that if you decide not to purchase insurance, you will be responsible for paying out of pocket for any damages.

Shipping a boat to The Netherlands couldn’t be easier, especially with our team helping you out. If you need more information, we would be glad to speak with you. Just call toll-free 888-805-4994 or 858-547-0840.
