When choosing a transport provider, make sure you check their credentials and customer feedback. You should also ask about their experience and insurance cover to ensure your Boat is properly protected.


Preparing Your Boat For Transport


If your Boat is being transported by land, there are a number of preparatory jobs to do to ensure the transportation goes smoothly. Check the condition of your Boat and remove any valuables before it's transported. Empty the bilge, water, refuse stores, and fuel tanks to make the Boat lighter and prevent any potential leakages during transport.


Disconnect the battery and tidy cables to avoid draining the battery and any shortages in electronics. Make sure all accessories and life jackets are stowed away in lockers and secure all doors and compartments in the galley and washrooms. If you're sailing your Boat to its destination, arrange with the captain what preparations need to be made prior to the handover.

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.
