Types of Services
As mentioned, we offer multiple alternatives. We ship all kinds of watercraft in two different ways. You can send it through shrink wrapping or roll it on and off. We provide moving for overland, interstate, and international methods. When moving, remember that every city has some regulations regarding the shipment of products and vehicles. You'll need to stick to them for smooth delivery. For example, the size and weight matter, and the days when it can be hauled also vary. In most cities and states, dispatching is restricted on Sundays and state and federal holidays
Boat Delivery
There are various methods through which you can haul different kinds. However, each ship needs to be well-prepared, and you must follow the guidelines your mover provides you with. Below we've discussed some specifics you'll need to address when moving a particular kind.
Powerboat
Your boat must be properly cleaned from the bottom since organic matter can grow there, which is strictly checked at borders. Considering the height, you must know that you're not allowed to move taller than 13.6"-14'. You could remove certain boat parts to ship them within the permitted height. You must get a special permit if it is still taller than 14'.
Sailboat
When sailboats are to be hauled, height is not an issue as long as it's within the 40' range. The deck gear is the problem when you're facing an issue related to the height. You'll either have to get a pole car that goes with the vehicle moving it or you'll have to remove all the gear, which is often more challenging.
Yacht
Yachts are bigger than power and sailboats, so moving them is even more challenging. Flybridges can be removed to reduce the overall height. Height is a significant concern, and only an experienced firm can guide you properly regarding this issue.
Small boat
Moving small ones is easy and fast. If you've got a small power or sailboat, too, it can be hauled promptly on a trailer. However, you still need to prepare for shipment.
International Moving
You'll need documentation and a schedule to ship internationally. The dimension and location of the vessel and the method and location will affect the price quote. The company will first evaluate the dimensions. Roll-on and Roll-off, Lift-on and lift-off, and water to water are the primary methods.
Container Method
You can also move internationally, domestically, or between states using the container method that carries it like freight in a container.
