Types of Dallas, Texas Vessel Transport Services

We conduct various boat carrier services in line with the regulations of the Texas State Department of Transportation. We choose between the services based on the type, size, and shipping location. The conditions set by your recipient marina also play a role in our method of transportation.

Craft Carrier

Boat shipping requires different conditions for shipping and preparation, but washing the boat thoroughly with fresh water is necessary. It will help remove any dirt, grime, or salt buildup. You will also need to measure the craft and take a record of its information and specifications. It will let you know if its size and height suit your destination port or marina. Your marina or boatyard may be willing to assist you for a fee.

Powerboat Hauling

Powerboat parts of anchors, canvas, electronic heads, windshields, Plexiglas, outriggers, antennas, flag masts, and propellers must be removed and kept safe. The bottom parts of the vessel should also receive more attention during the washing process.

Sailboat Dispatching

Sailboats should be measured before the delivery process begins. They can be towed but must be under the maximum height requirement of 14ft. It also has a total length requirement of 60ft.

Yacht Transport

A yacht is a larger boat and requires more clearance documents because of the higher load involved. The yacht's flybridge also makes it challenging to meet the height requirements during transit. It must be removed and stored with other valuable items that could increase the height or width of the vessel.

Small Boat Carrier

Marinas can easily tow and accept small boats, but they also face movement restrictions like all other vessel shipping. The trailer towing the boat must be in good condition to avoid breakdown or an accident on the way.
