Boat Shipping
It can take time and effort to move your boat to another state or abroad. Alternatively, the process will be straightforward if you hire a seasoned business with the equipment and knowledge required to transfer securely and safely.
For more than ten years, A1-AT has been moving from the east to the west coastlines and across the country. With our experience, we guarantee to provide the most excellent service you need.
Types of Services
We offer services to and from Denver. The state requires that DOT regulations be followed when hauling. Among these are the following rules:
- Boats wider than 8'6" require a state permit.
- Loads larger than 17' must be applied for at least one week before transport.
- Boats wider than 11' require an escort.
- Loads taller than 16' necessitate the use of a height pole.
Boat Moving
We haul boats and ships in addition to other types of watercraft. Additionally, we offer full-service moving, roll-on/roll-off, interstate, and international yacht transfer.
Powerboat
Moving your powerboat can be difficult because the overall height must be considered when planning the route. Different states may have varying laws and regulations. In general, boats up to 13'6" in the mid-Atlantic and northeast states, and 14' in others, are permitted; yachts taller than this require permits and pole cars.
The bottom of your vessel must be free of grasses and plants before hauling since certain jurisdictions have laws prohibiting the entry of plants from other states.
Sailboat
Sailboat is a complicated process that should only be handled by professionals. All lights, winches, wind indicators, and rigging must be removed before hauling off your sailboat. Don't connect your mast to it because it has a place on trailers.
Yacht
Yachts typically weigh at least 40,000 pounds and measure more than 14 feet wide and 14 feet tall. In comparison to smaller vessels, yacht hauling is slightly different.
Given our company's experience moving large vessels, you can be assured that we will haul efficiently.
Small boat
Small ones can be hauled on land, on their bottoms, on trailers, and even on yachts.
International Hauling
International moving requires more effort than domestic one. Obtaining all necessary documents is critical for customs clearance.
You can rely on our company's customs experts to help you navigate this process.
Container Delivery
Your boat can be moved overseas as freight on a ship.
How Much Does It Cost to Move?
Prices can be influenced by several factors, which include:
- Size plays a significant role in costs. The size, length, and weight of the beam affect the price.
- Distance and mode, such as overland, on a keel, or aquatic, affect prices.
- Season - The busiest time of year for freight is summer, which drives up expenses. Seasons at the origin and destination ports can affect schedules, particularly for overseas cargo.
- Destination - In some ports, additional costs may be charged.

How to Prepare For Delivery
Before handing over it to the company, ensure it has been adequately prepared to avoid damage during transit. Most companies will allow you to prepare it; therefore, any damage caused by improper preparation is your responsibility. The preparation requires little background knowledge or technical proficiency, so anyone can do it.
Here are some things you can do to get it ready for transit.
- Propellers, anchors, flagpoles, antennae, electronics, and valuables should all be removed and stored securely.
- Cabinets and cabins should be locked. Lock up every hatch, window, and door.
- You may use linseed oil to coat your wooden boat to keep it from drying out, but it might lead to dirt buildup while on the road.
- Drain each tank. Drain plugs on the hull and remove water and fuel. Draining fluids from pumps, water systems, and air conditioners is crucial.
- Make sure it is measured precisely. Look here for information on measuring it.
- Remove the anchors from the deck.
- Alarms, electronic parts, and batteries need to be unplugged and secured.
