Shipping Method for Shipping a Motorcycle to Costa Rica
Our shipping vessels depart weekly from each of the four U.S. seaports mentioned earlier to Puerto Limon. Please note that we exclusively provide RoRo shipping services; container shipping to Costa Rica is not available.

RoRo shipping provides a cost-effective and efficient solution with dependable departure and arrival schedules. Motorcycles are securely fastened to the deck, shielded from ocean exposure, ensuring optimal protection against the elements.
This is our preferred and widely favored option, offering both convenience and affordability.
