Methods of Boat Transportation in Lowestoft


There are two main methods of boat transportation, and the method you choose will depend on your boat's destination. If your boat requires specific transportation, please specify on your Shiply listing.


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


By sea or river – If your craft needs to be sailed port-to-port, you can hire a crew to do this. Crews should inspect your vessel, plot courses, and check shipping forecasts for you.


Preparing Your Boat for Transport in Lowestoft


If your vessel is being transported by land, there are several preparatory jobs to do to ensure a smooth transportation process. Plan ahead to find a suitable transport service.


Check the condition – Thoroughly check the interior and exterior of your vessel for any previous damage. Take photographs of the condition before its journey.


Remove valuables – Take anything valuable off your boat before it's transported, as these will not be insured.


Empty the bilge, water, refuse stores, and the majority of fuel – Pump out wastewater and other liquids. Empty freshwater tanks and rubbish, disconnect fuel tanks, and drain the majority of gasoline to make the boat lighter to deliver and prevent potential leakages during transport.

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?

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.
