Looking For A Team Of Reliable Boat Haulers

By Sarah Thomas


A lot of boat owners will have to relocate their vessel at certain times for many various reasons. A small boat can be loaded onto an appropriate trailer and towed to its destination with a vehicle. Large boats and yachts will have to be moved by specialists and if you are trying to locate a team of professional boat haulers it is advisable to look at all of the available options before making any decisions.

Any vessel can be transported by road with the correct equipment and it is imperative that you hire a team of specialists that are licensed and fully insured. If you intend to move a small craft the firm can bring a suitable trailer and tow it with a truck or van to its final destination. Larger vessels will need cranes at the collection and delivery addresses as well as a truck and flat bed trailer.

The fees you will have to pay to get your vessel moved will vary and depend on the destination and size. Local moves will be a reasonably quick process and will not be very expensive. Moving vessels over greater distances will take longer and will cost you more money.

There are a couple of ways to find a well established company to haul your vessel to its new location. Contact numbers will be listed in the business pages of the telephone directory and some firms will advertise in monthly boating magazines. It may also be worth making enquiries at your local marina and you can speak to transport firms in the neighborhood to see if they can help.

Another place to find a specialist hauler is the net where many companies now advertise their services. If you enter the details of your planned move on the web site you can usually get an instant quote. The majority of internet sites will publish comments and feedback from clients on their testimonials page.

When you have selected a firm you can contact them and make the arrangements for the transportation. The firm will ask for the pick up and delivery addresses as well as the dimensions and gross weight of your vessel. When they have looked at these details they are able to work out a price for the job and it is advisable to get a few quotes and compare prices.

Other services may also be offered by movers such as storage and overseas shipping. Secure storage can be arranged which is useful if your vessel can not be delivered straight away. If you are moving to another county there will be a lot of paperwork needed and your chosen transport company will be able to handle the legalities.

The firms will usually have insurance cover in place but it is worth checking before you proceed. On the day of delivery it is very important to have someone there to supervise the unloading and check the vessel. It is also advisable to hang on to any payment receipts and keep them in a safe place for reference.
