At Shiply, we understand that transporting a Boat can be a daunting task, especially if you're new to Boat ownership. That's why we've put together this guide to help you navigate the process of transporting your Boat safely, reliably, and hassle-free.


Why Do I Need Boat Transportation?


Whether you need a narrowboat, sailboat, small boat, or yacht transported, Shiply can help. Have you just bought a new Boat and need it delivered? Or maybe you need to get your Boat to a destination on land? Perhaps it's too large for you to transport yourself? Whatever the reason, Shiply can help you find a reliable and professional company for shipping your Boat at the right price.


Choosing a specialist Boat hauler will put you in safe hands. Boat haulage companies in the UK and internationally will know the ins and outs of working with Boats, marinas, and ports and should help you with all the aspects of the transportation process. Listing your Boat transport on Shiply and our network of transport providers will quote you prices. You simply need to fill out a form with some basic information about your Boat to be transported and you will receive free quotes in pounds sterling or euros, depending on where you are located.


How Much Does It Cost To Transport A Boat?


The cost of Boat transport will vary depending on a number of factors, but as an average cost, you can expect to pay between £100 to £260 for shorter distances and between £450 and £750 for longer journeys. 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 and 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 and 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 and of the pick-up and drop-off dates and 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, and 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.

Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?

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.
