Preparing Your Boat for Transport in Shrewsbury


If your vessel is being transported by land, there are several preparatory tasks to complete to ensure the transportation process goes as smoothly as possible. You’ll want to plan ahead to give yourself sufficient time to prepare for the transport and find a suitable transport service.


Inspect the condition - Thoroughly check the interior and exterior of your vessel for any pre-existing damage, so you can identify if it suffers any during transit. You may want to take photographs of the condition before its journey.


Remove valuables - Ensure you take any valuable items off your Boat before it’s transported, as these will not be insured.
