Preparing Your Boat For Transport


If your vessel is being transported by land, there are a number of preparatory jobs to do to ensure that the transportation goes as smoothly as possible. You'll want to plan as far ahead as possible to give yourself enough time to prepare for the Boat transport and to enable you to find a suitable transport service.


Check the condition: Make sure you thoroughly check the interior and exterior of your vessel for any previous damage, this way you can see if it suffers any during transit.


Remove valuables: Make sure you 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. Any freshwater tanks and rubbish should be emptied, fuel tanks disconnected and the majority of the gasoline emptied to make the Boat lighter to deliver and prevent any potential leakages during Boat transport.


Completing Your Boat's Transportation


When your vessel safely reaches its destination on the delivery date, your Boat transport should help you with the unloading or docking and may help you with other parts of maintenance and checks (depending on what you agreed). If there are any other services you need help with, these should be specified at the beginning of the process when listing your required service on Shiply.


Once you're happy that the Boat transport job has been completed, please leave a review for the service you used on Shiply on their company profile. Leaving feedback is extremely helpful to us as it helps other users when choosing a transport provider for their own job.
