How long is the boat ride from Europe to US
Anyone have an idea how long it takes the boat to go from Europe to the East Coast and then pass customs for the C63?

From canada, I have sent a car to Italy and it took one month of travel time. So sit tight.

Car Tracking
Once you get either an order/production # or your VIN (you should be supplied VIN when production is confirmed) go to this site:
http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do
select "Auto Tracking" and enter your VIN.
Once your vehicle leaves the factory you will be able to see where it is.
The actual boat ride takes between 6 to 10 days for East coast (Halifax 1st then usually Baltimore) The car can sit at the docks in Bremerhaven for up to 3 weeks before loading and starting the trip over. Loading and unloading is done like lightning. They don't like these big ships in port too long
When my C55 came in 2004 it landed in Halifax. I saw it was scanned off the boat. Called the dealer and they expedited delivery and it was in Toronto 48hrs later in in my hands the next afternoon.

Hope this helps

I think I just found the boat. I remembered my salesman told me the boat started with the letter T and the Tamerlane left on the same date that I was told. Arrival date in Baltimore is May 19.
