How Much Does it Cost to Transport a Boat in Staffordshire?


The cost of boat transport in Staffordshire will vary depending on several factors, but on average, 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 this can vary depending on the size of the Boat. The size of the Boat being moved will significantly impact the cost, for example, small boat transport is relatively straightforward 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 its 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 be more expensive and may require different companies to those in the UK who specialize in road transport.

Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?

Do I Need To Take My Boat Anywhere?

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.
