shipping Central America to Europe; recommendations?

We're looking to ship our two bikes from somewhere in Central America (Honduras/Nicaragua/CR/Panama) back to Europe.

Any recommendations?
Search on previous shippings came empty...

Thanks!

(No we can't go back to Mexico or the US, as our Guatemalan TVIP have been cancelled)

Sure, but we don't need them asap so sea is an option this time. And still not sure if we are going to ship. Just anticipating the one in a million chance...

Hey Martin, Thanks. I know WWL, used them before and will use them this time again. Was just hoping someone else knew something else, but then why change if you're happy huh?!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
