What I'd like to know is how much cheaper it really is than air freight. Stahlratte is a well-known boat with a great reputation, and you get to have some fun while you're shipping. The Stahlratte is, however, expensive (currently 980US for you and the bike from Panama to Cartagena), and will not be around in the next few weeks. I've read some horror stories about other boats where the trip is nearly unbearable and the loading, unloading, occasional salt-water-soaking of your motorcycle, and port fees really make it more expensive to ship by sea.
From what I understand, air freight is more reliable, faster, better for your motorcycle, and comparable in price when you include your own airfare.
Please educate me if you think differently.
