However, this can vary depending on the size of the Boat. Small Boat Transport is generally easier & less expensive than larger sailboats or narrowboats. A narrowboat may require specialist narrowboat movers due to its unique size.


Whether the Boat needs to be transported within the UK or internationally will also play a role in the pricing. International Boat Transport will generally cost more & may require different companies to those in the UK who specialise in road transport.

Methods of Boat Transportation in Gloucestershire


There are two major methods of Boat transportation in Gloucestershire. The method you choose will depend on where your Boat needs to go.


By road – If your vessel needs to be hauled within the same country, road transportation is likely the best option. This is also the only option if you're moving parts of a Boat only or a non-starting Boat.


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

When choosing a transport provider, make sure to check the credentials & feedback of any skippers & crew hands. If you're moving a sailboat, look for RYA or MCA accredited crews.


It's essential to check the level of experience & professional insurance cover offered by the transport provider. Don't accept personal insurance, as this won't provide adequate protection for your Boat.


Preparing Your Boat for Transport in Gloucestershire


If your vessel is being transported by land, there are several preparatory jobs to do. Plan as far ahead as possible to give yourself enough time to prepare for the transport & to find a suitable transport service.


Check the condition of your Boat before transport to ensure you can identify any damage that may occur during transit. Take photographs of the condition before its journey.


Remove valuables from your Boat, as these won't be insured. Empty the bilge, water, refuse stores, & the majority of fuel to make the Boat lighter to deliver & prevent any potential leakages during transport.


Disconnect the battery & tidy cables to avoid draining the battery & any shortages in electronics. Make sure all exposed electronics are covered & battery cables are tucked away.


Secure all accessories & life jackets in lockers. Secure all doors & compartments in the galley & washrooms. Make sure the canopy is extra secure, as it may not be built to travel at the same speeds as a trailer.

For sailboats, remove all winches & rigging from the mast. Provide padding for points at which the mast will be tied down. Pulpits, stanchions, & lifelines should only be removed if they'll make the Boat too large to transport easily.

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 Gloucestershire 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 Gloucestershire 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.
