Laundry, workshop returns and back-to-shore deliveries
Vans often drive back from the port empty. Onshore lets carriers list that return leg, so laundry, items for repair, warranty returns and unwanted packaging can go back to shore on space that would otherwise be wasted.
Who it’s for
Laundry & returns on Onshore
- Interior crew sending laundry and dry cleaning
- Engineers returning parts for repair or warranty
- Laundries and repairers collecting from yachts

Questions
FAQ
Are return legs cheaper?
Carriers set their own prices, and many price return legs lower because the van would otherwise be empty.
Can the laundry deliver back to the yacht too?
Yes — book the outbound delivery as a separate booking, or ask for a quote covering both legs.
