Vessel Transport

To ensure a smooth and stress-free boat transportation experience to Aurora, it is crucial to provide the hauler with accurate measurements of your vessel and communicate any specific transportation requirements. This will help ensure your boat is hauled safely and efficiently to its destination. Verifying that the hauler has adequate insurance coverage to protect your valuable assets during transit is also essential. Remember, precise communication and verification of insurance coverage are key components of hassle-free boat transportation.

Powerboat Hauling

In transporting powerboats, paying close attention to detail is essential. Crucial factors to consider include weight and height requirements, which may require removing specific components depending on your boat's specifications. It's also important to drain water and fuel from the vessel before transport, a standard procedure for all ships, including wood-made ones. At the same time, it may seem like minor details, but overlooking these steps can significantly impact the successful completion of the transportation task. Therefore, meticulous attention to every detail is necessary to ensure a safe and hassle-free boat transport experience.

Sailboat Moving

To transport sailboats safely, keep the load height to 13'6" or less. Larger sailboats may require a "pole car," but this increases costs. For short distances (< 400 miles), using a pole car may be cheaper than removing gear. Use the right equipment, such as straps and padding, and an experienced driver. Communicate any special requirements, such as a pole car or gear removal. With the proper equipment, a professional driver, and clear communication, sailboat conveyance can be safe and efficient.

Yacht Conveyance

Preparing for yacht transportation may require removing the flybridge or radar arch to lower the powerboat's overall height. The boat's height is a significant consideration during transport, and reducing it on the transport trailer enhances safety and can result in substantial cost savings. Even a few inches in height reduction can significantly lower the overall costs of yacht shipping.

Small ship carrier

Certain precautions must be taken to transport small boats safely in a trailer. The canvas and bows must be secured or held down, and the bow and transom straps must be functional. Obtaining a licensed trailer or arranging for a transporter tag is also crucial. Cushions should be stored securely or below, and all loose items must be adequately secured to prevent loss. If possible, electronics should be removed and stored securely. These steps will help guarantee your small boat's safe and secure transport.

International Vessel Import

For a successful overseas shipment of a boat, it is crucial to follow these steps:

• Schedule the shipment for a suitable time.
• Prepare all the necessary customs clearance documents.
• Coordinate the transportation logistics to align with the sailing schedules.
• Select a reliable transporter to manage the shipment.

Container Boat Hauling

If you're seeking to transport your vessel to another country, shipping it as freight on a cargo ship can be a practical and cost-effective method. After loading onto the cargo ship, your boat will be secured for conveyance across the ocean. While it may take longer than other forms of transport, shipping a vessel as freight can still be a valuable option for international transportation needs.

How Much Does It Cost to Send a Vessel?

When it comes to shipping a vessel, several factors can impact the cost, including:

• Distance
• Type of shipping service
• Size and weight of the boat
• Current fuel prices
• Season
• Additional services required

• Measure your boat accurately.
• Remove or secure loose items.
