Map of Oregon, USA

Every year numerous Boat owners & sellers move their Boat to & from Oregon for various reasons. Some of these include: stunning natural landscapes, vast waterways & access to fishing spots. Therefore boat transport companies, offering Oregon boat transport services, are in high demand.


How Much Does It Cost To Transport A Boat in Oregon?


Calculating an exact price for boat transportation can be difficult due to the numerous variables that impact quotes. However, on average, short distance transport in Oregon can cost between $150 & $300. Longer haul journeys, within the state, can cost anything from $600 to $1,000.


Several factors can affect how much your Oregon boat transport will cost. Some of these include:


Distance: The distance your Boat needs to be transported in Oregon will greatly 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.


Enclosed containers & flat racks are also viable options for Boat transport in Oregon. These can be more expensive than inland transportation, but may be necessary for larger vessels.


Boat Size: The size of the Boat can greatly affect pricing for Oregon boat transport. For example, standard-sized boats can be transported using enclosed containers, whereas larger boats cannot.


Time Of Year: Seasonality also affects pricing for boat transport in Oregon. Ice, wind, & snow can all affect road conditions, which can alter the routes available for transportation.


How To Properly Measure Your Boat For Oregon Boat Transport


In order to get an accurate quote for how much it will cost to transport your Boat in Oregon, you need to provide the dimensions of it to potential Oregon boat transport companies.


As a brief overview:


Overall Length: This is measured from the very end of the bow to the middle of the stern.


Overall Height: This is measured from the highest (non-removable) point of the Boat to the bottom of the keel.


Beam: The beam is just the overall width of the Boat, so measure from the two widest points.


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.

Will My Goods Be Tied Up Securely?

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.

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.
