Method of Boat Transportation


There are two main methods of Boat transport, and the one you choose will depend on the specific requirements of your vessel. If your Boat needs to be transported in a particular way, please specify this on your Shiply listing.


Boat Transport by Road in Widnes

Preparing Your Boat for Transport


If your Boat is being transported by land, there are several preparatory tasks to complete to ensure a smooth journey. Plan ahead, and make sure your Boat is prepared correctly to prevent damage, leakage, or loose ends during transit.


Completing Your Boat's Transportation


When your Boat arrives safely at its destination, your transport provider should assist with unloading or docking. They may also offer additional maintenance and checks, depending on the agreement. Once the transport is complete, check your Boat for any damage and ask the transporter about any issues so they can be resolved quickly.

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.

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.

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.
