Boat Hauling

Powerboat
Each powerboat is distinct in its way. Understanding their peculiarities and the requirements of each powerboat is crucial for securely transferring your watercraft. You must maintain the cleanliness by removing any vegetation or living critters that may have been trapped under it.
Sailboat
Choose an experienced carrier to haul. Loading a sailboat requires a significant amount of labor and time. Before you go, dismantle it. Remove all lights, winches, and wind indicators. Do not attach the mast to it. The freight vans should have ample space.
Yacht
They are available in a range of shapes and sizes. Moving necessitates rigorous preparation, and our objective is to provide you with a quick and accurate quote. We manage all permits, route surveys, pole vehicles, and everything else you require.
Small boat
Every day, our personnel boats on motorized or sailed trailers. Tow & Go shipments are towed on their trailers and typically leave within a week or less of being reviewed and prepped. If the trailer is roadworthy, it will be less expensive and easier to manage.
International Delivery
It entails booking a hauler that fits your schedule, organizing delivery to coincide with your sailing schedule, and ensuring it is picked up and returned on time. Following that, you must gather all customs papers. Pricing and sailing time may vary based on your departure and destination.
Container Method
If you are willing to pay a small fee, it can be shipped internationally as freight. In any event, you must prepare the yacht for delivery while following all regulations. You may suffer significant penalties, delays, or even damage if you do not comply.
How Much Does It Cost to Move?
Several elements determine the cost:
- Fees are influenced by various factors, including distance and mode of transit, such as overland, on the rail, or by sea.
- The item’s size significantly impacts expenses, and cargo costs are governed by size, length, and weight.
- Depending on the destination port, additional fees may apply.
- Charges rise throughout the summer as more customers want to send their boats during this season. Temperatures in ports of origin and destination, particularly for international travel, can change according to season, impacting schedules.
How to Prepare for Delivery
Arranging for shipment is crucial to ensure it arrives at its destination safely and undamaged. Whether you are moving a small recreational boat or a large commercial vessel, there are several critical steps to take to prepare it.
- All loose things must be fixed or disconnected.
- Double-check that every drawer, door, window, and vent is firmly shut.
- Take precise dimensions.
- Remove any fluids from your watercraft.
- Make sure all electronics and gadgets are turned off.
