Skin-on-Frame: Shipping a Cape Falcon F1 back to Italy

Hi all,
Apologies for the cross posting (also on qajaqusa). I'm currently building an F1 with Cape Falcon kayaks in Oregon, having come over from Italy for the workshop. I didn't think getting it back to Naples would be difficult but the frieight companies I've contacted are telling me that at 14 ft it's too long to air frieight and that they also can't ship by sea anything less than 200lbs and that anyway they only ship commercial goods by sea eg fedex, dhl. I'm hoping a kayak manufacturer can help out but if anyone has any other ideas they'd be much appreciated!
Thanks in anticipation
Simon
