The Cost of Transporting a Boat

The cost of shipping and services is undoubtedly one of the first things you think of when it's time to transport your boat. Choosing the right boat transport company is essential to ensure you get the top hauling services at the best prices.

Several factors go into boat hauling costs, including:

  • ● Boat dimensions – The larger and heavier the boat, the more it will cost to transport.
  • ● Distance – Shorter-distance boat shipments require less gas and may not have as many tolls, making the cost of hauling less.
  • ● Oversize Boats – Oversize boats will cost more to ship, not only because of their size but because oversize loads require special permits for safe transport.

The average cost of shipping about per mile is $1.25-$15.00.

We pride ourselves on our transparency, always providing clear and comprehensive quotes, ensuring you have all the information you need to make the best decision. Call now! (800) 908-6206

BOAT TRANSPORT GUIDE HOW TO SHIP A BOAT OVERSEAS

The best way to ship a boat overseas is to work with a logistics company, like Heavy Haulers, that has both boat transport experience and international shipping experience. Our dedicated international team understands the ins and outs of customs, preparing a boat for international transport, and more.

There are multiple options for overseas boat transport.

  • Roll-on/Roll-off (RO/RO): This is the most common option when shipping a boat overseas. Roll-on/Roll-off transport has the boat stay on the trailer (whether it’s your personal boat trailer or a heavy-duty trailer provided by the carrier) for the trip.
  • Enclosed Container: Most cargo ships and freighters carry enclosed shipping containers filled with various goods. Since the standard dimensions are 40’ long, 7’10” high, and 7’8” wide, you must ensure your boat fits within the measurements for this transport option. While this is less expensive than the roll-on/roll-off transport method, it is less utilized because boats rarely fit within the dimensions. Keep in mind that the trailer has to be included as well.
  • Flat Rack: – This is the most common method for oversize boat shipping. The boat is placed in a custom cradle that is strapped into the flat rack and secured to the cargo ship. With this method, high bridges and other bulk items should be removed for safety and to reduce costs.
  • Submersion: – The boat is loaded and unloaded directly from the water.

Call Heavy Haulers to determine the best method for shipping your boat overseas. Our international agents will guide you through every step of the process, including winterizing your boat. Shrinkwrapping your boat may also be suggested to keep your boat safe from any minor dings during transport. (800) 908-6206

Common Boats Heavy Haulers Transports

Transporting a Pontoon Boat
BASS BOAT HAULING

These low-slung boats have plenty of horsepower and are among the easiest to transport due to their lower profile and shallow hulls. With generous casting spots at both the bow and stern and a smaller "trolling" motor hanging off the bow, these sleek, small craft are perfect for the serious angler, complete with pedestal chairs, live storage, and plenty of space for poles and tackle.

BOWRIDER TRANSPORT

Perfect for day cruises and water skiing, bowriders are all about speed and fun. These are different from cuddy boats as bowriders have an open bow with seating at the help. They're best for water sports on lakes and inland waterways, and not generally used for fishing. Heavy seas or deep water may cause these boats to take on water in the gunwales.

CABIN CRUISER SHIPPING

These fast powerboats have most of the passenger accommodations in the small cabin. With all the amenities, such as toilets, showers, and full galleys, these boats are ideal for a weekend getaway with family or friends. Their size and deep V bottom make transportation a bit tricky, as there is a need to detailed, secure restrains.

CENTER CONSOLE BOAT TRANSPORT

These larger boats may be considered fishing boats, but with their power and deeper hull, they're also ideal for a range of water fun, like water skiing, gunkholing, or oyster tonging. A smaller cabin has enough amenities for passenger comfort, while the center-mounted steering console allows maneuverability and speed. These "do everything" boats are perfect for the angler who enjoys lake, sea, bay, and river fishing.

FISHING BOAT
HAULING

All-purpose fishing boats are the perfect choice for the year-round angler. These have a deeper V hull and higher sides compared to a bass fishing boat's lower profile. There's a bit of wind protection and a small walk-through to the front of the boat, although there is no extra seating at the helm. These boats have either a steering wheel or tiller, live storage, and plenty of room for poles and extra gear.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE BOAT
TRANSPORT

A deep hull allows smooth travel through even the deepest seas, while a large guest cabin with luxe amenities ensures that even multi-day trips are comfortable.
