How Much Does It Cost To Transport A Boat?


Providing an accurate price is difficult due to the numerous variables that can impact quotes. On average, short-distance transport in Albuquerque can cost between $150 to $300, while longer haul journeys can cost anywhere from $600 to $1,000. The cost of your Boat transportation can be affected by factors such as distance, Boat size, trailer, locations of pickup and delivery, and time of year.


Distance & Boat Transport


The distance that your Boat needs to be transported will significantly affect the price. 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. Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO) is the most frequently used method of international Boat transport and involves your Boat staying on a trailer for the duration of the trip.

Preparing For Your Boat To Be Shipped

Cleaning & Securing Your Boat


It is a great idea to thoroughly clean your Boat before it is transported.

Empty Liquids & Remove Sails


You should empty the bilge, refuse stores, and the majority of your fuel prior to pickup, as well as disconnect the fuel tanks. This will make the Boat lighter for transport and put a stop to any potential leaks that may occur in transit. If it is a sailboat you are transporting, then you need to remove all winches and rigging from the mast.


Photographic Evidence


We highly recommend that you document the condition of your vessel with time-stamped photographs before it is picked up as this will come in handy as evidence of its prior condition should any damages occur whilst it is being transported.


A Quick Guide To Measuring Your Boat


In order for you to get an accurate quote for how much it will cost to transport your Boat, you need to provide the dimensions of it to potential Boat movers. Whilst the manufacturer will usually provide you with these, we recommend double-checking yourself to avoid any mishaps on the day of transport.
