Yacht transport
We deliver boats, ships, and other watercraft as part of our business; those are just some of our things. Our delivery services include overland transport, interstate shipments, yacht transfers, shrink wrapping, and roll-on/roll-off dispatching.
Powerboat Delivery
Powerboats are all different. When transporting it, you need to know its characteristics and needs. Clean your ride by getting rid of any leaves or living things that get trapped under it, like barnacles.
Sailboat Dispatching
Employ the services of an expert craft carrier to carry your sailboat. Loading it, takes a substantial amount of time and effort. Before you go, disassemble your sailboat. Take down any lights, winches, or wind indicators. Attaching the mast to the skiff is not permitted. The freight vehicles should have plenty of room.
Yacht Relocating
They come in a variety of forms and sizes. Moving a vessel needs meticulous planning, and our goal is to give you a prompt and accurate price. We handle all permits, route surveys, pole vehicles, and other requirements.
Small Skiff Transfering
Our team moves small boats on powered trailers every day. Tow & Go shipments are trailered and usually leave within a week or less of approval and preparation. It will be less expensive and easier to operate if the trailer is roadworthy.
International Craft Delivery
To send your boat overseas, you need to find a transport company that can meet your timetable, coordinate transportation with your sailing schedule, and make sure that the skiff is picked up and returned as planned on time. Once you have gathered all of your customs documentation, you can proceed to the next stage of the process. Based on your departure and destination, you may be charged a different price, and the length of your shipment may vary as well.
Container Canoe Moving
If you are ready to pay a charge for the service, you can send your boat overseas as freight. The skiff must be readied for transit under any conditions and carried per all requirements. You may face penalties or delays if you do not follow the requirements.
How Much Does It Cost to Transfer a Skiff to or from Arkansas?
There are several factors that determine Arkansas boat freight costs, including:
- You may have to pay more depending on the destination port.

Frequently Asked Questions
To transfer your skiff, you must thoroughly search the companies. There are many types of deliveries depending on your boat type. Ensuring your chosen company is open to your boat shipment would be best. The pricing can be expensive when it comes to shipping. Shipping a box is way different from shipping heavy equipment. Multiple factors influence shipping. The first is the distance. It will be costly if you plan to cargo your boat somewhere international. The distance will take time and fuel both. Ensure you plan to give off your boat when fuel prices aren't skyrocketing. Other than that, you must also check the specifics of your boat.
Before deciding the final price, the company is more than likely to ask for the details of your boat. You'll be asked to mention your boat's weight, size, and height. If it is more than their standard orders, you may have to pay more.
When they give you a day range, distance is the prime focus for companies. This means they will solely depend on whether the destination is far away. If it is further away from your place, you may have to wait a week or two. As for those who have it easy, you just need to wait two to three days to reunite with your boat. All you need to do is pray your boat doesn't encounter a condition that will delay the delivery. Now what can delay your boat delivery? The first can be the unavailability of the drivers. If you also get them, natural hazards still stand in your way. Until you are clear of these, you can have a safe and secure delivery.
It is normal to feel worried about your valued item once you hand it over to a stranger. For this, you must be sure of the company you are choosing. You can confide in the company by reviewing its website and clients' testimonials. The client's reviews tell a lot about a company. The reviews are unbiased and honest. They will help you choose which company to trust.
You must understand that it's mostly the company's responsibility to secure your boat and yours. You can take simple measures that put your worried heart at peace. Firstly you must make sure that your equipment has no gasoline. This way, the company won't have to worry about it leaking or adding weight. Other than that, you must turn off all the electronic appliances. The company will ask you to tape all the windows, doors, and drawers. This will ensure the safety of the furniture and anything inside it.
Make sure you sign the insurance policy. You'll be good to go after agreeing to all terms and conditions. This document will allow you to be safe in case equipment is lost. If there is a scratch or any destruction, the company will compensate you for this.
