A method for transporting an offshore turbine in a floating manner is disclosed in which a frame 5 construction is mounted on a deck of a transportation and installation ship; a wind turbine foundation connected to a transition segment is prepared in advance; the transition segment is extended from the frame construction; the wind turbine foundation is 10 temporarily secured with the frame construction; the wind turbine tower, wind turbine head and blades are hoisted in turn and then are assembled to form an entire wind turbine machine; and finally the entire wind turbine machine is conveyed to the installation place. 15 The method for transporting an offshore turbine in a floating manner according to the invention may achieve transporting the entire wind turbine machine in a single step, facilitate easy operation and obtain high success rate. For a huge offshore wind turbine machine, 20 there is also no need for using large hoisting machine and convey ship to perform offshore work and accordingly, the inventive method reduces cost in a great scale compared to prior art technology. Moreover, as the wind turbine foundation, wind turbine tower, 25 wind turbine head, as well as the wind turbine blades may maintain the same attitude throughout the manufacture, transportation and use, risk of causing damage to components of the wind turbine is reduced significantly; thereby assisting in achieving 5 anti-damage requirement for the entire structure and further reducing construction cost.
