Providence Boat Shipping Company, RI

Boat Shipping in Providence, Rhode Island

Providence, Rhode Island is a great destination for boaters because of the city's abundance of waterways. To safely transport your expensive watercraft, you should work with a professional boat shipping firm. If you need help transporting a boat, go no farther than A-1 Auto Transport in Providence, which offers several options.

We Cover the Entire Range of Boat Transportation Needs

Among the many services we provide are:

Open-air transport of boats is the most common and cost-effective method. A vehicle can tow a boat on a trailer without damaging the vessel or the driver. This method is effective for smaller, more resilient boats. •If your boat is exceptionally valuable, old, or delicate, covered transport may be the best option. One secure method of moving larger boats is using flat rack shipping, which will shield your vessel from the elements and road debris. If your boat is too huge to transport on a trailer, RoRo shipping is an option. Your boat will be securely attached on a level rack for the duration of the trip. The boats are loaded onto the ship and lashed down. RoRo transport is widely used by yachts, sailboats, and other big vessels.

A crane is needed to load the boat into the ship for LoLo shipping, which is otherwise quite similar to RoRo shipping. LoLo shipping is an option for large or heavy boats that can't be driven aboard a ship.

You may safeguard your boat from the elements and potential damage during international transit by placing it inside a shipping container.

A-1 Auto Transport has experience transporting a wide variety of boats, including speedboats, sailboats, fishing boats, yachts, and jet skis. Safely and efficiently transporting multiple boat types requires individualized plans and specialized equipment. After careful inspection, our knowledgeable experts will identify the best way to move your boat.

You can rely on A-1 Auto Transport when it comes to international boat exports. We are familiar with the complexities of paperwork, customs regulations, and international shipping. Allow our team of experts to assist you, and you won't have a single problem to solve. Depending on the size and shape of your boat, we can ship it by container shipping or RoRo/LoLo shipping to and from any port in the world.

How to Accurately Measure Your Boat in Easy Steps

Obtaining accurate pricing and determining the most suitable shipping method for your boat requires exact dimensions. Learn in depth how to measure your boat's size by reading this:

Length: Your boat's length should be measured from the very tip of the bow to the very tip of the stern, including any platforms or extensions.

If you want to know how tall your boat is, measure it from the keel to the highest fixed component, and its beam from side to side.

You should measure everything, including the antennae, Bimini tops, and outboard motors, even if they will be shipped separately.

Preparing Your Boat for Shipping

You should inspect your boat thoroughly before setting sail to ensure it makes it there in one piece.

• Remove batteries, cut power, and wrap up cables.
• To lighten your load and prevent leaks, you should empty your fuel, water, and storage tanks.
• Avoid costly water damage during transport by closing and latching all hatches, doors, and windows.
• Put away or fasten down any unsecured anchors, life vests, or pillows.
• Keeping your yacht clean and free of unwanted species is important for both following local requirements and stopping the spread of invasive species.
