SMALL BOATS TRANSPORTATION SERVICE

While many companies transport larger boats, such as yachts, it might be more challenging to find a dependable, experienced company willing to transport your mini boat across town or the country.

We provide quality mini boat hauler services. Short or long-distance Safe Sailboat hauling services can help countless boat owners. After all, most of us who own boats own smaller vessels, not large yachts.

Regardless of the size of your boat, you need to ensure it is adequately prepared for transport. It would be best if you took the time to plan for moving the boat because it involves careful planning and attention to detail. Usually, boat companies do not prepare the vessel to be shipped.

That responsibility is left to the owner unless an additional fee and prior arrangements are made. If you ask us in advance, we have several carriers that will take the time to secure your belongings and double-check everything is connected correctly.
There are some situations where you can pay a marina or boatyard to prepare a boat for transport, but usually, that personnel will only deal with vessels that are currently on their property. Often, if you use their shipping prepping services, you must make arrangements several days in advance.

Suppose you don’t properly prepare your boat. In that case, it will be transported “as is” and the carrier won’t accept responsibility for it and any damage that might result because your boat has not been readied for shipping unless you tell us in advance before booking your order.

A customer bought a Grady-White Canyon 271 from Florida and is looking to have it hauled back to his Marina in New York. We sent out a carrier with a Ford 250 with a boat trailer to load. The boat was in the water on pickup, so we wet-launched our trailer at no additional fee.
