The average cost per mile for standard Boat transport is around £1.50 per mile in the UK, but as stated, this can vary depending on the size of the Boat.

The size of the Boat being moved will affect the cost significantly, for example, small Boat transport is easy as they can often be hauled on the road, whereas something like a larger sailboat or narrowboat will require special attention & will likely cost more to transport. A narrowboat may require specialist narrowboat movers due to their unique size. Whether the Boat needs to be transported within the UK or internationally will also play a role in the pricing, as international Boat Transport will cost a lot more & may require different companies to those in the UK who specialise in road transport.


Using Shiply To Find A Boat Transporter


To make a listing on Shiply, you only need to fill in a short form with some details about your Boat & of the pick-up & drop-off dates & locations. Once your listing is complete, you will begin to receive free quotes from different transport providers - some of which may reach out to you in order to understand the required services more clearly so they can know how best to quote for the work.


There are two major methods of Boat transportation, & the method you choose will be dependent on where your Boat needs to go. If your Boat is required to be transported in a particular way, please specify on your Shiply listing.


By road – If your vessel needs to be hauled within the same country, you’ll find that road transportation is likely to be the best option. If you’re moving parts of a Boat only or a non-starting Boat, transportation by road is your only option.


By sea or river – If your craft needs to be sailed port-to-port, then you can hire a crew to do this. Crews should inspect your vessel, plot courses & check shipping forecasts for you.

Preparing Your Boat For Boat Transport


If your vessel is being transported by land, there are a number of preparatory jobs to do to ensure that the transportation goes as smoothly as possible. You’ll want to plan as far ahead as possible to give yourself enough time to prepare for the transport & to enable you to find a suitable transport service.


Check the condition - Make sure you thoroughly check the interior & exterior of your Boat for any previous damage, this way you can see if it suffers any during transit. You may want to take photographs of the condition before its journey.

Remove valuables - Make sure you take anything valuable off your Boat before it’s transported as these will not be insured.


Empty the bilge, water, refuse stores & the majority of fuel - Pump out wastewater & other liquids. Any freshwater tanks & rubbish should be emptied, fuel tanks disconnected & the majority of the gasoline emptied to make the Boat lighter to deliver & prevent any potential leakages during transport.


Disconnect battery & tidy cables - A precaution that will help avoid draining the battery & any shortages in electronics. Despite being a waterborne vehicle, your Boat might be exposed to different weather conditions when it travels on a trailer. So make sure that all exposed electronics are covered & battery cables are tucked away.


Make things secure - If they aren't travelling separately, make sure all accessories & life jackets are stowed away in lockers. Secure all doors & compartments in the galley & washrooms. Also, make sure that the canopy is extra secure as it might not be built to travel at the same speeds as a trailer.


For sailboats - Removing all winches & rigging, etc. from the mast is important (also provide padding for points at which the mast will be tied down). Pulpits, stanchions & lifelines should only be taken off if they will make the Boat too large to transport easily.

Completing Your Boat's Boat Transport


When your vessel safely reaches its destination on the delivery date, your Boat transporter should help you with the unloading or docking & may help you with other parts of maintenance & checks (depending on what you agreed). If there are any other services you need help with, these should be specified at the beginning of the process when listing your required service on Shiply.


Either way, it’s essential that you check your craft post-transit to ensure that it hasn’t been damaged & ask the transporter about any discrepancies so they can be sorted out quickly. When you’re happy that the Boat transport job has been a completed, please leave a review for the service you used on Shiply on their company profile. Leaving feedback is extremely helpful to us as it helps other users when choosing a transport provider for their own job, & it also helps transporters continuously improve their service.

When Will I Receive A Quote?

You will typically start to receive quotes within 30 minutes.

If your delivery is urgent, you can try our 'featured delivery' feature which moves your listing to the top of the search page for couriers.

How Many Quotes Will I Receive?

Whilst there is no guarantee of quotes, 98% of listings receive at least 3 quotes, so you are very likely to find a transport provider who services Clwyd who can undertake the delivery of your items.

Does Shiply Provide Packing Materials?

If your item requires packing materials or extra care then you should make sure this is highlighted in your listing and discussed with any transport provider whose quote you are considering. Couriers on Shiply are able to provide all levels of service and can help pack your items, just ensure you inform them of your needs.

Will My Goods Be Tied Up Securely?

Transport providers will almost always tie up an item in the transport vehicle, as the risk of damage from moving around during transit is high. You should always confirm safety precautions and packing needs with transport providers before accepting a quote.

Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?

Yes, items can be taken upstairs if needed, and can also be assembled. Transport providers on Shiply are happy to provide these services, but you should ensure that you are mentioning these requirements in your listings as it may mean a second person is required for the move.

Can I Travel With My Goods?

The majority of transport providers on Shiply are only insured for the transportation of goods, however, some are also able to take people. If you need to travel with your goods, make sure to mention this in your listing and highlight this to any courier who quotes on your listing.

What If I Need To Cancel My Booking?

If you have accepted a quote and paid the deposit but wish to cancel the delivery, then you should first inform your chosen transport provider that you no longer require the delivery. You should then contact us at to have your deposit refunded.

Can I Change The Address Of The Delivery?

If you have not yet accepted a quote then you are able to change the address of your listing. Note that editing details of your listing after publishing will result in active quotes being voided, so you will have to wait for new quotes to come in. If you have already accepted a quote and need to change the address either within Clwyd or outside the area, please let your transport provider know and contact us at .

Do I Need To Take My Boat Anywhere?

Typically, boat transporters on Shiply will be able to pick your boat up from wherever it is located and will use special boat trailers to do so. If your journey is strictly overseas then it may be cheaper to drive to the port yourself, but boat transporters will always be able to collect your boat, wherever it is.

Can I Keep Items In My Boat During Transportation?

This will likely be up to your boat transporter's discretion, so make sure to ask! One thing to note is that the items will likely not be covered by the insurance that covers the boat, so don't leave anything in there you cannot easily replace.
