Preparing Your Boat for Transport in Southend-on-Sea


Before your Boat is transported, there are several preparatory jobs you'll need to do to ensure a smooth journey. These include checking the condition of your Boat, removing valuables, emptying the bilge, water, and refuse stores, and disconnecting the battery. You should also make sure all accessories and life jackets are stowed away, and that the canopy is secure.


For sailboats, removing winches and rigging from the mast is essential, and providing padding for points at which the mast will be tied down. Pulpits, stanchions, and lifelines should only be taken off if they will make the Boat too large to transport easily.


Once you've accepted a quote on Shiply, you can wait for the transporter to arrive. If any changes occur that may differ from what your transport provider is expecting, make sure they are contacted and made aware so they can plan accordingly.


Completing Your Boat's Transportation in Southend-on-Sea


When your Boat safely reaches its destination, your transport provider should help you with the unloading or docking. They may also help you with other parts of maintenance and checks, depending on what you agreed. Once your Boat is safely docked or secured, you can remove the tape and other securing materials, refill water tanks, reattach batteries and motors, or re-rig your sailboat.

Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?

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.

Do I Need To Take My Boat Anywhere?

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.
