Boat transport to Thailand from UK

[ColleyV8]

Think I'm going through mid life crisis, quit my job last month to move to Spain next year, had planned on buying a house and moving my boat to Almeria, but now looking at moving to Thailand or Malaysia, but not sure of moving my Oceanis 411 is feasible or not

Any ideas on cost of shipping a 42 ft yacht to Thailand, or consequences of moving it there, may decide to just liven on the boat instead of real estate

Am i stupid?

Would it not make sense to sell what you have and buy on that's already there?
As for your question, I don't know you.

There are just 2 main shippers in market really one is part of massive Dutch group the other more independent. The prices are quite variable depending on vessels going -it’s about £15k to cross Atlantic back to uk I believe .

Probably, but I like my boat, and could possibly move from UK to Spain then Greece to somewhere else ,I need to sit down and seriously think about the future

I should have said if like Maiden you get stranded in an obscure port then in absence of charity it costs 10s of k to find a transporting ship. I guess also the price depends on time you want to ship so if you ring one of the agents they will reach out into market to get quotes so even if someone did this a year ago it might not be indicative of current rates. Clearly troubles in foreign lands impact capacity

You could have her delivered there by sea... An amazing route across the Atlantic and Pacific. Perhaps you'd have time to join for some of the journey?

Is a boat set up for the UK likely to be comfortable in warmer climes?

Would the cost including delivery and maintenance/parts be that much different? Ignoring time and enjoyment I'd imagine delivery by sea would be quite costly for such an extended journey and probaly necessitate new sails at the very least.

If we don't ignore time and fun I'd certainly agree it's a nicer way to do it and a season in the Caribbean and probably one in Gulf of California would be amazing experiences on the way
