Wide range of boat moving companies
The first thing you need to do when requesting a quote for boat transportation is to clearly state a few things: where the boat is located (private address, dealership, or marine), whether it is on water, stands, or already on the trailer and of course what kind of boat it is: motorboat, sailboat or unpowered boat. These details affect the boat shipping cost the most. When booking with the exact company, we also advise you to provide the exact sizes of the boat, so the shipping agent will be sure what kind of trailer is required. More in detail you can read in our boat shipping guide.
Sure, you just need to remove the mast and secure it in its cradle. You can also ask the shipping company to take care of it, but it will cost extra. When the driver comes he will drive the boat out of the marine on the trailer and then ship it to your drop-off location.
Yes, the driver can put the inoperable boat on the trailer by towing it out of the marine using a special winch.
When you negotiate the pick-up date and time and have all the shipping details, you need to get your boat ready for transportation. We recommend you make sure that all loose boat parts are properly secured, so they will not damage the interior of the boat and will not cause any road accident. Makes sure that the boat is as clean as possible so the driver could note any pre-existing damages in the Condition Report.
We do not recommend shipping personal items inside the boat as it may affect the boat weight and the driver will receive a ticket at the weigh station. In such a case, shipping will cost you extra money. Besides that, the items are not insured while the boat is in transit and if something gets damaged, lost, or stolen, you will not receive the reimbursement.
The price of shipping a boat depends on the route, boat type, size, and season of shipping. We advise you to request a quote and when you contact the company, the shipping agent will advise you is the best way to ship your boat.
A day before the delivery, the driver will call you to negotiate the exact time. When he arrives, don’t forget to check the boat and its parts (mast or paddles) and sign the Condition report. In case of shipping a boat, we also advise you to pay the driver with a credit card, Zelle, money order, or cashier’s check as it’s not that safe for drivers to have a few thousand dollars when traveling cross country.
Yes, the companies we collaborate offer overseas and international boat shipping in 3 main ways: enclosed container shipping for small boats, Roll-on/Roll-off, and Flat rack.
If you are shipping a boat within the mainland, usually no documents are required. If you are planning to ship it overseas, you will need a booking agreement signed by the registered owner, a copy of current registration through shipping date, and a Bill of Sale (BOS) or Lien Authorization Letter.
