Powerboat shipping

The overall height of your powerboat must be taken into account while determining the most efficient route for transport. It is possible for states to have varying rules and regulations concerning boat transportation. Most jurisdictions allow boats up to 14 feet in height, although those in the mid-Atlantic and northeast require permits and pole cars for anything bigger than 13 feet, six inches.

Your ship's bottom must be cleared of any grasses or plants before you set sail, as some countries have regulations preventing the entry of plants from other states.

Sailboat Transport

Sailboat shipping is a complex procedure best left in the hands of professionals. Before you bring out your sailboat, be sure all of the lights, winches, wind indicators, and rigging have been removed. Just because there's room for it on the trailer doesn't mean you should affix the mast to the boat.

Yacht shipping

Yachts have a usual size of 40 feet in length, 14 feet in width, and 14 feet in height. There are a few key distinctions between transporting a yacht and a smaller vessel.

You can trust that your boat will be shipped safely and securely because of our business's history of handling large vessels.

Small boat transport

It is possible to haul a small boat across land using the hull, a trailer, or a yacht transport ship.

How to Prepare a Boat for Shipping

You should take precautions to verify that your boat is ready for shipping before giving it over to the company. Most businesses will let you prepare your own boat, but that means you're on the hook for any damage that results from carelessness. There is a low threshold for entry in terms of knowledge and technical expertise needed to get your boat ready for the water.

Some tips on getting your boat ready for the road:

• It is necessary to empty each tank. Take away the gasoline and water. It is essential to drain fluids from pumps, water systems, and HVAC units.
• Make sure the dimensions of your boat are accurate. Visit this website for further details on how to measure your boat.
• All alarms, electronics, and batteries should be turned off and stored safely, and anchors should be taken up off the deck.
• All gadgets, valuables, and electronics must be removed from cabinets and cabins and stored safely. Linseed oil can be used to protect your wooden boat from drying out, but it may cause dirt buildup on the road, so keep all hatches, windows, and doors closed.
