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


As mentioned earlier, providing an accurate price is difficult due to the number of variables that can affect quotes. However, on average, short-distance transport can cost between $150 to $300, with longer haul journeys costing anything from $600 to $1,000. Several factors can impact how much your Boat transport will cost, including distance, Boat size, trailer, locations of pickup & delivery, & time of year.


When it comes to distance, the farther your Boat needs to be transported, the more expensive it will be. For instance, if the Boat only needs to be transported domestically (within the US), then the most likely method will be through inland transportation on a trailer, which is typically cheaper than international travel. If the Boat needs to travel internationally, then this can be more costly.


When looking at international Boat transport methods, Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO for short) is the most frequently used method. This involves your Boat staying on a trailer for the duration of the trip. If your Boat is a standard size, you may want to consider an enclosed container that would be put on a large shipping vessel. This can often be a cheaper international Boat transport method. If it is a big Boat that you need to transport internationally, then a flat rack can often be secured onto a vessel which your Boat can be strapped into whilst in its own personal cradle. Finally, there is always the option of submersion when looking at international Boat delivery options, which simply involves your Boat being loaded & unloaded from the water.

Measuring Your Boat for Transport


To ensure you get an accurate quote for Boat transport, you need to provide the dimensions of your Boat to potential boat movers. Whilst the manufacturer will usually provide you with these dimensions, we recommend double-checking yourself to avoid any mishaps on the day of transport. Measure the overall length, height, & beam of your Boat. A ‘standard’ Boat is considered to be roughly 40’ long, 7’10” high, & 7’8” wide. Boats over this size may require a special permit to travel.

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.
