The Cost of Boat Transport in Rayleigh

On average, you can expect to pay between £100 to £260 for shorter distances and between £450 and £750 for longer journeys.

There are two main methods of Boat transportation: by road and by sea or river. The method you choose will depend on where your Boat needs to go. If your vessel needs to be hauled within the same country, road transportation is likely to be the best option. However, if you're moving a sailboat or yacht, you may prefer to hire a crew to sail it from port to port.


Preparing Your Boat for Transport in Rayleigh


If your Boat is being transported by land, there are several preparatory jobs to do to ensure the transportation goes smoothly. You'll want to plan ahead, check the condition of your Boat, remove valuables, empty the bilge and water tanks, disconnect the battery, and secure any loose items.


For sailboats, it's essential to remove winches, rigging, and other equipment from the mast to prevent damage during transport. You should also check with your boatyard for any additional precautions they recommend.
