A method of moving a floating wind turbine (1) relative to a body of water, the floating wind turbine (1) having a buoyant body with a nacelle at the upper end thereof, comprises floating the floating wind turbine (1) in the body of water, and towing the floating wind turbine (1) whilst holding the buoyant body in an inclined position, whereby the nacelle is held clear of the water. As the wind turbine (1) is held in an inclined position, it can be towed through regions of shallower water than if it were in a vertical position.
