Locating A Company For Boat Transportation

By Henry Olson


A lot of boat owners will need their vessel moving to another location for different reasons. Small crafts are easily moved on a trailer by towing them with a suitable van or truck. A larger vessel will need to be hauled by a specialist company and if you are searching for a firm for boat transportation there are various options and some research is required.

All vessels can be transported with the correct equipment and it is essential that you hire specialists that are licensed and insured. If you plan to move a small craft the firm can bring a trailer and tow it to its final destination. Larger vessels will need specialist cranes at both ends as well as the appropriate unit and flat trailer to transport it by road.

The firms that specialize in moving boats will have various price tariffs depending on where your vessel is going. Short distance moves will not be too expensive and it will be a fairly swift process. Moving a vessel over longer distances is more challenging and it will be costly and can take much longer.

There are a few ways that you are able to find a reliable firm to move your boat to its new location. Contact numbers are listed in the business pages of the phone book and some firms will advertise in specialist boating magazines. If your vessel is moored at a marina it may be worth asking them if they can recommend a reliable company that you can use.

Another good place to find a firm is the internet where many companies now advertise their various services. If you enter the details of the move on the web site you can usually obtain an instant quote. The majority of web sites will also publish feedback and comments from their clients on the testimonials page.

When you have contacted a firm you will need to make all of the arrangements for the transportation. The company will ask for the dimensions and gross weight of your vessel as well as taking addresses. When they have looked at the details they will give you a price for the job and it is recommended that you get a few quotes so that you can compare prices.

Other services may also be offered by the movers including the transportation of jet skis and other smaller vessels. Sometimes a boat will have to be securely stored for a period of time before delivery and they will arrange this. Many overseas moves will require a great deal of paperwork and legal documents to be prepared and the specialists will take care of this for you.

The majority of firms that provide transport will adequate insurance cover in place for moving boats but it is always worth checking beforehand. You should also ensure that someone is at the delivery address to supervise the unloading and to inspect the vessel for any damage. Always retain payment receipts for the job in case you need to refer to them at a later date.
