Mast Transport
What does it cost to transport a mast?
The cost of mast transport in the Netherlands varies between €300-550 for standard masts up to 14 meters, while international transports such as to Norway or Greece are between €2600-3500. Longer masts and urgent deliveries can increase these prices significantly.
Transporting a ship's mast requires special attention because of its length and fragility. The main cost factors are:
- Length of mast (determining type of transport)
- Loading and unloading facilities (crane/fork truck needed?)
- Distance and accessibility locations
- National or international route (customs, tolls, ferry)
- Rush or flexible scheduling

All prices are indicative (2024). When requesting, it is essential to state the exact mast length, weight and material. Ask specifically about including/excluding VAT and any additional charges for loading/unloading. For international transports also take into account seasonal price variations for toll and ferry rates.
Why transport a mast?
A mast is often too long to transport by itself. In fact, an object may only protrude a limited amount when transported. This requires a transporter who can do the job for you. Transporting your entire yacht or sailboat is no problem either. We have created a separate page for yacht and boat transport.
When purchasing a loose mast on site or after a special repair, the mast sometimes needs to be transported. Place a free order with us and receive response from specialized boat transporters today. You can also find a transporter in our business directory. You can also contact them for free advice.
Mast transport is often done by road, such as on a large cargo truck. Your mast can also be transported by water. On a large ship, a mast takes up little space and can be transported easily and safely. You do not have to make a choice in this yourself. Our boat transporters will analyze your request and see what works best.
