Types of New Mexico Boat Transport Services

At A-1 Auto Transport company, we offer a variety of boat transport options to fit your needs.

Boat transport

Kindly ensure that you tick these boxes before shipping your boat:

• You should get a professional boat shipping company and follow the requirements necessary to ship your boat.
• You should get accurate measurements of your boat and use the appropriate marina for shipping. The marina should have the necessary equipment and room to ship your boat.
• The guidelines from the shipping company should be adhered to by you for safety reasons. If you have any questions about any requirement, contact your shipping company.

Powerboat shipping

Shipping a powerboat involves paying attention to details and following general shipping rules. Here are some of the steps to take:

• Get the powerboat thoroughly cleaned and washed before shipping.
• All unsecured or loose attachments should be detached, while water and fuel should be drained during shipping.
• The height of the powerboat can be an issue, especially with interstate shipping, but getting all the necessary permits would help.

Sailboat Transport

Shipping a sailboat requires a lot of work and time. Thus, a professional boat-hauling company should be employed to handle this type of shipping. Sailboat shipping requires a lot of setting up and reassembling for easy shipping. The company must ensure the sailboat is secured to the trailer. After that, the professionals can transport the sailboat safely and securely to its destination. Using proper equipment for a sailboat is crucial as this will help to save a lot of time and money. Kindly know that the sailboat must be inspected before shipping, and all boat shipping rules and regulations must be adhered to.

Yacht shipping

Moving a yacht requires a lot of planning due to its size and the several rules attached to it. Rules attached to shipping a yacht vary from each state, and it is best to use a shipping company that fully understands these rules for a smooth shipping process. In most cases, you might have to lower the yacht's height by removing the flybridge or radar arch. Thereafter, you can strap the flybridge/radar arch to the trailer for safe transport. Finally, you must also check for any permits required for the safe transportation of the sailboat.

Small boat transport

A-1 Auto Transport also offers small boat shipping services to clients. Small boats are easier to handle and do not require extensive planning. A small boat is transported on its trailer and is usually less expensive than a big boat. Before shipping, routine inspection and maintenance should be done to avoid breakdowns during shipping.

International Boat Shipping

International boat shipping involves a lot of planning and consideration. You would have to consider the type of boat you want to ship, the company to hire, and getting all the necessary documents needed to clear customs. You should also ensure that the boat is prepared for transport, including draining all fluids, securing loose items, and ensuring the hull is in good condition. The shipping cost generally depends on the distance and the type of boat you want to ship. At A-1 Auto Transport, we can ship your boat to different places across the country and abroad.

Container Boat Shipping

Container boat shipping is a cost-effective and reliable way to ship boats overseas on a cargo ship. It involves loading the boat into a container and securing it with straps, blocks, and chocks to ensure it is secure during transit. The container is then loaded onto a cargo ship and transported to its destination.

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

The shipping cost of a boat depends on several factors, like the size and weight, the distance of the shipping route, the type of vessel used for the shipment, the mode of transport (e.g., door-to-door or port-to-port), insurance coverage, and any additional services needed. Furthermore, the type of cargo, the time of year, and the availability of a suitable vessel can also affect charges.

How to Prepare a Boat for Shipping

Before shipping your boat, ensure that you do the following:

• Perform detailed inspections to determine any needed repairs.
• Document and address any potential damage before the boat is ready for shipping.
• Secure the boat in the shipping container before shipment.
