Boat Shipping

Using a seasoned boat shipping company will make transporting your vessel to or from Anaheim, CA, easier and less stressful.

Types of Anaheim, CA Boat Transport Services

We offer various boat shipping services to and from Anaheim, CA. Before dispatching your craft to California, ensure all permits are current. DOT regulations include the following:

• Oversized yachts, such as those wider than 8'6" and taller than 13'6", require hauling permits across the state.
• Boats wider than 12' require one escort.
• A pilot car is required for vessels taller than 14’.

Vessel Carriage

We transport boats, ships, and other watercraft. Our services include international yacht transfers, interstate shipping, shrink wrapping, and full-service moving options.

Powerboat Haulage

A powerboat can be challenging to ship because its height must be considered when planning the route. Different states' vessel transportation laws and regulations may differ. Boats up to 13'6" in the mid-Atlantic and northeast, and up to 14' in other parts of the country, can be moved, but boats taller than this usually require permits and pole cars.

In addition, because some states forbid the importation of plants from other states, you must ensure that the bottom of your vessel is clear of grass and plants.

Sailboat Transport

Shipping sailboats is a complex process that should only be handled by experts. Before hauling off your sailboat, all lights, winches, wind indicators, and rigging must be removed. Your mast should not be attached to the boat because there is space on the trailer for it.

Yacht shipping

Generally, yachts weigh at least 40,000 pounds, are 14 feet wide, and stand 14 feet tall. Yacht transport differs slightly from that of smaller vessels.

Because our company has experience moving large vessels, you can be confident that your boat will be carried efficiently.

Small vessel transport

Small boats can be transported on land, hulls, trailers, and yacht ships.

International Sending

International shipping procedures are more time-consuming than domestic haulage procedures. Therefore, it is critical to obtain all required documents to ensure a smooth and quick customs process.

We can walk you through the customs process with the help of our customs experts.

Container Shipping

Boats can be shipped overseas as freight on cargo ships.

How to Prepare a Vessel for Hauling

Ensure your boat has been prepared adequately before handing it over to the shipping company to avoid damage during transit. Most companies will let you prepare your craft independently, but you will be held responsible for any damage caused by improper preparation. You don't need a lot of background knowledge or technical expertise to prepare your boat.

The following are the critical steps to take when preparing your boat for transit:

• Please check that your boat's measurements are correct. This page provides more information on measuring your boat.
• The deck anchors should be removed.
• Unplug and secure any alarms, electronic components, or batteries.
• Remove and securely store all propellers, anchors, flagpoles, antennas, electronics, and valuables.
• It is critical to keep cabinets and cabins secure at all times. Make sure that all hatches, windows, and doors are always closed.
• Each tank must be empty. Water and fuel should be drained, as should fluids from pumps, water systems, and air conditioners.
• Linseed oil can protect a wooden boat from drying out, but dirt may accumulate on the roads as a result.
