Locating A Team Of Professional Boat Haulers

By Sarah Thomas


A large number of boat owners will have to move their vessel to other locations for different reasons. A small craft can simply be put onto its trailer and towed with a vehicle. When you need to move a larger vessel you will be looking for a team of reliable boat haulers and it is advisable to do some research beforehand.

Any type of vessel can be moved by road to various destinations by a specialist firm and it is extremely important that you hire a team that is licensed and fully insured. Most companies will move smaller boats using a pick up truck or van along with a trailer. Larger crafts will need to be craned on and off a flat bed truck.

The costs of transporting a boat are going to vary and depend on a few things such as the size and final destination. If you are only need to move a craft a short distance then the fees will be reasonable and the process simple. Long distance moves will cost larger amounts of money and will take longer.

There are various ways to find a hauler to move your craft to another destination and handle all of the arrangements. There are contact numbers in the business section of the phone book and many firms place adverts in the press. Local marinas and sailing clubs may also supply you with the contact details of a well established firm and you can get in touch with transport firms in your area.

Another place to find a specialist hauler is the net where many companies now advertise their services. If you enter the details of your planned move on the web site you can usually get an instant quote. The majority of internet sites will publish comments and feedback from clients on their testimonials page.

When you have located a hauler that can do the job you can arrange a date for the transportation and they will require some details. You will need to supply the pick up and delivery addresses along with the dimensions and weight of your vessel so that they can calculate a price. The company will then prepare a quote and it is advisable to contact different firms and make some price comparisons before you commit to anything.

Some of the haulers may also offer other useful services such storage and international moves. If your vessel does have to go into secure storage for a period of time they will arrange this for you. If you plan to move your boat to an overseas destination the company will need to handle all of the import and customs clearance paperwork.

The majority of firms that provide transport will usually have 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.
