Choosing a specialist Boat hauler will put you in safe hands. Boat haulage companies in the UK and internationally will be familiar with the intricacies of working with Boats, marinas, and ports and should assist you with all aspects of the transportation process.


What is the Cost of Boat Transport?


The cost of Boat transport will vary depending on several 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 relocated will significantly impact the cost, for example, small Boat transport is relatively easy as they can often be hauled on the road, whereas 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 significantly more and may require different companies to those in the UK who specialize in road transport.
