Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to provide a trailer? – If you already own a suitable trailer, that’s great. If not, we can provide or source one compatible with your vessel.

Will I need permits? – For most small to mid-size boats, no special permits are required in local moves. However, oversized loads (over ~12 ft width, or high height) may require state oversize permits or escorts. We’ll advise you in your quote.

How should I prep my boat? – Key items include securing all loose gear, draining or lightening fuel/water, removing or locking down antennas or electronics, and ensuring battery is disconnected. We’ll send you a detailed prep checklist.

When is the best time to move? – Off-season (fall, spring) tends to be less congested and more cost-effective. Summer weekends and holidays may carry higher demand and premiums.

Is the boat insured during transport? – Yes, we carry full transit insurance and we can also coordinate with your existing marine insurance for added coverage.
