Boat Transport Article
Finding boat transport is a relatively simple process, so long as you have made proper preparations and know what to expect from boat movers. You should set a realistic timeframe for your boat transportation. The entire process can take a number of weeks from initial planning right through to the boat delivery itself.
First, you will need to choose the type of boat transport service you require. There are two main options to consider. The first is to have the boat sailed by a professional skipper, this can work out cheapest if your boat is in the water or is particularly large, however the delivery time may be quite slow. The second option is for the boat to be delivered by trailer, bear in mind that unless your boat is already on it’s own trailer there would normally need to be crain access at both pickup and delivery points. Furthermore, if your yacht is particularly large you may need to apply and wait for permits to carry the oversized load on the road.
Once you have weighed up your options and decided on your preferred method of delivery, you need to carefully choose a boat transportation company. This is where Shiply helps, simply list your boat for free and receive competitive bids from boat transport companies competing for your business. Be sure to carefully investigate the boat transportation company, in particular their experience and levels of insurance cover.
Before you release your boat for delivery, whether by trailer or by sea, make sure you have completed the boat preparation instructions as requested by your chosen yacht delivery company. Also ensure that you check & document any pre-existing damage.
