Selecting a specialist boat hauler puts your mind at ease. These companies have extensive knowledge of boats, marinas, and ports, both in the UK and internationally. They will guide you through the transportation process and help with all the necessary arrangements. By listing your boat transport needs on Shiply, you'll receive quotes from our network of transport providers.

What's the Cost of Transporting a Boat in Stirling?


The cost of boat transport varies depending on several factors, but on average, you can expect to pay between £100 to £260 for shorter distances and £450 to £750 for longer journeys. The average cost per mile for standard boat transport in the UK is around £1.50, although this can vary depending on the size of the vessel.


The size of the boat being transported significantly affects the cost. For example, small boat transport is relatively simple, as they can often be hauled on the road. In contrast, larger vessels, such as sailboats or narrowboats, require specialized attention and are likely to be more expensive to transport. A narrowboat may need a specialist narrowboat mover due to its unique size.


Using Shiply to Find a Stirling Boat Transporter


To create a listing on Shiply, simply fill out a short form with details about your boat, as well as the pick-up and drop-off dates and locations. Once your listing is complete, you'll start receiving free quotes from different transport companies. Some may contact you to clarify the services required so they can provide a more accurate quote.

By road, if your vessel needs to be hauled within the same country, road transportation is likely the most suitable option. If you're moving parts of a boat or a non-starting vessel, road transport is your only option.


By sea or river, if your craft needs to be sailed from port to port, you can hire a crew to handle this. They should inspect your vessel, plot courses, and check shipping forecasts for you.


After receiving quotes, ensure you check the credentials and feedback of the skippers and crew members. You can view their company profiles on Shiply for this information. If you're moving a sailboat, look for RYA or MCA accredited crews.

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.

Can I Travel With My Goods?

The majority of transport providers on Shiply are only insured for the transportation of goods, however, some are also able to take people. If you need to travel with your goods, make sure to mention this in your listing and highlight this to any courier who quotes on your listing.

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. If you have already accepted a quote and need to change the address either within Stirling or outside the area, please let your transport provider know and contact us at .

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.
