Types of Honolulu, HI Boat Transport Services

We provide a variety of boat shipping services to and from Honolulu, HI. When shipping your boat to Hawaii, specific rules must be followed, including:

• Personal effects are not permitted to be loaded onto the boat.
• You will be informed of any possible exceptions when you book your shipment.

Boat transport

Boats, ships, and other watercraft are among the items we transport. International yacht transfers, interstate shipping, shrink wrapping, and full-service moving are also available.

Powerboat shipping

It can be difficult to ship a powerboat because its height must be considered when planning the route. Different states may have different boat transportation laws and regulations. Boats up to 13'6" in the mid-Atlantic and northeast, and up to 14' in other parts of the country, are permitted to be transported, but boats taller than this generally require permits and pole cars to transport.

Since some states prohibit the importation of plants from other states, you must ensure that the bottom of your vessel is free of grass and plants.

Sailboat Transport

Sailboat shipping is a complicated process that should only be handled by experts. Before hauling off your sailboat, you must remove all lights, winches, wind indicators, and rigging. Your mast should not be attached to the boat simply because there is room for it on the trailer.

Yacht shipping

Most yachts are at least 40,000 pounds in weight, 14 feet wide, and 14 feet tall. Yacht transport is slightly different from that of smaller vessels.

You can be confident that your boat will be transported efficiently because of our company's experience moving large vessels.

Small boat transport

Small boats can be transported in various ways, including on land, on their hulls, on trailers, and even on yacht transport ships.

International Boat Shipping

International shipping procedures take longer than domestic shipping procedures. It is critical to obtain all necessary documents for a smooth and quick customs process.

With the assistance of our customs experts, we can walk you through the customs process.

Container Boat Shipping

Boats can be transported overseas as freight on cargo ships.

How to Prepare a Boat for Shipping

To avoid damage during transit, make sure your boat has been appropriately prepared before handing it over to the shipping company. Most companies will allow you to prepare your boat on your own; however, you will be held liable for any damage caused by improper preparation. To prepare your boat, you don't need a lot of background knowledge or technical expertise.

Here are the essential steps to take when preparing your boat for transit:

• 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 completely empty. Water and fuel should be drained. Fluids from pumps, water systems, and air conditioners should all be drained.
• Linseed oil can be used to protect a wooden boat from drying out, but it is possible that dirt will accumulate on the roads as a result.
• Check that your boat's measurements are correct. More information on measuring your boat can be found on this page.
• The deck anchors should be removed.
• Unplug and secure any alarms, electronic components, or batteries.
