Preparing Your Boat for Transport

Preparing your yacht for shipping properly is essential for a successful and damage-free journey. Important procedures to complete before you set sail include:

• Take everything of value out of your boat. This includes everything that has the potential to become dislodged during transport, such as electronics or equipment.
• To lessen the possibility of leaks and lighten the load on the boat, you should empty the gasoline and water tanks.
• To avoid fire or electrocution, remove batteries and tighten all weak connections.
• Removable items like antennae, radar gear, and bimini tops should be taken down and stored to lower the boat's profile and the likelihood of damage.
• If your boat has a mast, take the time to dismantle it, cover it in protective material, and secure it before shipment.
• Check your boat for damage and take pictures to prove it. In the event that you need to file a claim following the transportation process, this will be beneficial.
• Look for signs of leaks, particularly in the hull and bilge. Fix any problems before delivery to prevent any setbacks.
