Boat Transport

For your vessel's smooth transportation, we need you to take care of a few things first. The excellent news is that none of these tasks are time-consuming or complicated. No technical skill is necessary. You or an agent can handle the steps without any problems.

Powerboat Shipping

Powerboats have open standards and can vary significantly from model to model and owner to owner. Because of this, it can be challenging to give standard instructions on how to prepare them for shipping. Commonsense, following some general principles, and bearing in mind any individual requirements are all needed in the case of speedboats. We recommend calling our team of expert boat transporters when you are preparing the boat to ship to get tips or have any questions answered.

Sailboat Transport

When a sailboat is prepared for transportation, ensuring the deck gear is stowed away, and lines are secured are the keys to success. If cold weather is likely, you will need to take some time to winterize the vessel. Some models of sailboats will require an extra step or two to ship safely and securely.

Yacht Shipping

Transporting a yacht successfully is not a job to be taken lightly. The task requires professionals who understand and have experience in the area. Decisions regarding the shipping route taken, along with coordinating permits, pole vehicles, law enforcement escorts, and much more, are all critical issues. Our company is a recognized leader in the area.

We strongly suggest only hiring boat haulers with proven experience in successfully shipping yachts for a project of this nature. Using an amateur company to transport boats can result in disaster.

Small Boat Transport

Small boats can often be transported using the affordable tow-and-go method. The option is straightforward as long as the ship and the shipping trailer are up-to-par. Our team of professional boat movers is available for trailer inspections if you are considering this choice.

International Boat Shipping

For more than 25 years, A-1 Auto Transport has led global boat transportation, with boat transports to major destinations in the world. We understand what it takes to navigate the requirements to ship a boat internationally, from preparing the boat to the complex rules involved.

Our team is ready to make your project of shipping your vessel to another nation a reality. We will save you time and money that would be likely wasted by trying to handle the job yourself or using a less experienced firm.

Container Boat Shipping

Some small boats can be shipped in a container. The container boat shipping method is affordable and safe. However, many limitations apply. Contact us with the details of your small boat, and we can quickly determine if the option is available for your project.

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Boat to or from Missouri?

Several elements can affect the fees to transport your boat. It is also intelligent to take into account that companies offering rock-bottom prices also provide bottom-of-the-barrel services. Using unprofessional shipping companies can become costly, both in lost money and in frustration and wasted time. Our company offers safe, secure, and reliable boat shipping services. Factors that influence the final fee to transport your vessel include the boat type, the destination, the insurance needed, and market conditions, which can vary.

How to Prepare a Boat for Shipping

The guidelines that follow will help you prepare your boat for transportation. Remember to ask the shipping company for other requirements before pick-up.

• Drain the fuel from the boat and ensure all electronic devices are disconnected.
• Remove anything valuable—stow flag masts, loose items on the deck, and any anchors.
• Close all doors inside and outside the boat. Latch compartments. Make sure no windows are open.
