You may already know this but container shipping (which is easily the cheapest) might be possible. A 40' Hi-cube container is long enough but the door opening of the container is 2.34m wide x 2.58m high (7'5.75" x 8'5.75").

Boats can be loaded sideways into a container (with good packaging) so a beam of 8'6" is right around the limit. I think that extra quarter of an inch can squeeze through the door. You'd have to drain fluids and I think batteries need to come out but it is still easily the most efficient way to ship.

I can suggest a U.S. company that ships to Europe and can do everything for you.

Height and width need to be measured accurately so there's no problems when the boat arrives at the packing centre.

width is just right
but the height of the ship could be a problem
I think the boat is higher than 2340mm

The arch can be unbolted.

arch can stay in usa,more beautiful without arch
I*m not ready yet for this large hull,and do not need such a large boat
this is to me come more as a hobby, that I have what to do in my free time
First I have to finish the CSS, and then see how the CSS act on our sea
but, this excell ,to me, is very pretty

How much does it cost to get a boat shipped half way around the world??

from new york to italy.40 feet container=3300
find better florida -croatia 3000§

I must give min.3000§ for shipping + min.2000§ for tax
and then I have a project that I finish until retirement:cartman:

If you want to go to Thailand from from your East Coast a 34' Fountain on trailer will cost about 23k roll-on roll-off. A 41' Sea Ray on a cradle is about 33k lift-on lift-off. If its something that fits in a container it's a very reasonable 4K.

Thailand is pretty much the half way point round the world, Europe is only a quarter of the way. :)
