Boat Shipping
With the latest methods, shipping isn't as hard as it used to be. You can now move all kinds of vessels between states and internationally. However, moving a boat is different from moving goods and vehicles. It requires extra effort; only an experienced and well-equipped firm can handle the process. At A1-AT, our trained professionals can ship your vessels through several methods and across several states. We are well-equipped to handle your needs in the best way.
Types of Services
The method you choose to move depends on your financial capability and needs. Your vessel can be hauled safely when shrink-wrapped. It can also be delivered through roll-on and roll-off methods. A1-AT can move safely while informing you of the necessary documentation. The size and weight of your ship make a difference. You can't send boats taller than 13.6'' to 14'. You'll need to take care of different processes. Permits and pole cars might be necessary to make such shipments possible. We offer services for all ships.
Yacht Hauling
Our services are broad, and we are ready to assist you regarding the specifics of each type. Our helpful staff is always available to cater to your needs and help you move for reasonable rates. We'll guide you thoroughly regarding any information you need related to your move.
Powerboat shipping
Like any other boat, moving power boats require cleaning and other preparatory steps discussed in this article. It might exceed the 13.6''-14' permitted height, and you'll need to remove all removable parts to haul without struggling to get extra permits and pole cars.
Sailboat Delivery
Sailboats are primarily small, and height is not an issue. However, if height becomes an issue, you are advised to remove the deck gear since that can contribute to height-related problems. These are easy to ship, thanks to their smaller size.
Yacht
When you think of a yacht, you know you're dealing with a much bigger one. Yachts are much taller than power and sailboats. They require extra effort to get hauled. It can be tricky and challenging well-equipped and experienced firm will be able to guide you regarding the specifics. You must remove extra gear, poles, and flags to reduce height. All removable items should be removed, and if the height is still an issue, call the firm for further guidance.
Small boat
Smaller boats can be easily hauled on a trailer or through other methods. However, a trailer is the most suitable way to deliver a smaller one. Power and sailboats are generally considered to be smaller ones. However, since they are mainly moved through trailers, you should always have extra tires in it.
International Hauling
International transits can take longer; you'll need extra documentation to ship internationally. You'll have to pre-schedule the shipment to avoid time-related issues. The method, location, and dimensions for international quotes will matter. You could use several ways to move internationally, including water-to-water, lift-on, lift-off, and roll-on and roll-off alternatives.
Container Method
Just like freight moving, boats can also be delivered through containers. For this, you'll need to consider the size, and you'll have to pay accordingly. The container method is ideal for long-distance hauling of smaller ones.
How Much Does It Cost to Move?
It might sound expensive, and some profit-building firms have made it expensive. If you don't want to empty your wallet when hauling, you must be considerate about the company you're working with. You could also minimize the cost by choosing the less expensive weather, the method, and the location. The destination makes a difference in the quote too.
How to Prepare It
You'll have to get a quote before moving. The quote depends on the dimensions, including its height, length, and beam. To move safely, lock all cabins and cabinets, wash it properly, especially from the bottom, secure all loose gear, empty all water and fuel tanks, even air conditioners and water systems, etc. Remove all deck anchors and batteries too.
