Map of Colorado, USA

Before we begin, let's take a look at Colorado and why people frequently move a "boat" to and from the state. Colorado is a stunning state renowned for its breathtaking mountains, rivers, and lakes. Many residents and visitors alike enjoy boating, fishing, and water sports, which explains the high demand for boat transport Colorado.


Factors Affecting Boat Transport Costs


When it comes to transporting a "boat", there are several factors that can impact the cost. While it's challenging to provide an accurate price, short-distance transport can cost between $150 to $300, with longer haul journeys costing anywhere from $600 to $1,000. Here are some essential factors that can affect the cost of Colorado boat transport:


  • Distance - The distance your "boat" needs to be transported will significantly affect the price. Domestic transport (within the US) is typically more affordable than international travel.

  • Boat Size - The size of your "boat" can greatly impact the pricing. Standard-sized "boats" can be transported internationally using enclosed containers, while larger "boats" cannot.

  • Trailer - Depending on whether you have your own boat trailer or need the boat movers to provide one, this can also impact the cost.

  • Locations Of Pickup And Delivery - The ease of access to your pick-up and delivery locations can affect pricing, with ease of access playing a part.

  • Time Of Year - Seasonality can also impact pricing, with ice, wind, and snow affecting road conditions.

Measuring Your Boat for Colorado Boat Transport


To get an accurate quote for boat transport Colorado, you need to provide the dimensions of your "boat" to potential boat movers. Here's what you need to measure:


  • Overall Length - Measured from the very end of the bow to the middle of the stern.

  • Overall Height - Measured from the highest (non-removable) point of the "boat" to the bottom of the keel.

  • Beam - The overall width of the "boat", measured from the two widest points.

A "standard" boat is considered to be roughly 40' long, 7'10" high, and 7'8" wide. Boats over this size may require a special permit to travel.

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 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 Colorado 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.
