I think they can arrange this on one ship and for something in the ballpark of the total Kevin referred to in his post. They are based in Sydney BC and look to have lots of experience with good loadmasters. This is definitely gonna leave a mark.....
Yes, its expensive.

But...

Lets say you for whatever reason did not want to pilot your own boat through the Panama Canal. Time constraints, hassle, sometimes a little trepidation from your better half...

You could go from the PACNW, or even cheaper Ensenada, MX to Florida.

Then spend a year or two cruising the great loop.

Then load up again for a transit to Europe. Not many of our boats can cross the Atlantic, but cruising the coastlines of Europe is doable.

Yes, it might be expensive, but in the overall scheme of things I bet its cheaper than trading ones current boat for the same size ocean crossing capable boat.
