Looking For A Team Of Reliable Boat Haulers

By Sarah Thomas


Many boat owners will want their vessel moving to another destination for various reasons. Small boats can easily be moved on a trailer by towing them with a suitable pick up truck or van. When you have to relocate a large vessel it will need to be moved by a specialist company and when you are searching for a team of reliable boat haulers there are various options and some research is required.

All vessels can be moved by the specialists and it is very important to use a company that is fully insured and licensed. Smaller crafts can simply be towed by the company to any given address by one of their dedicated vehicles. A larger craft will need to be hoisted on and off a low loader with special lifting cranes.

The costs of transporting a boat are going to vary and depend on a few things such as the size and final destination. If you are only need to move a craft a short distance then the fees will be reasonable and the process simple. Long distance moves will cost larger amounts of money and will take longer.

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.

You can also find a company by searching the net and there are many that advertise online. Most of the web based companies will issue an instant quote for the road move after you have submitted some details. Many of the web sites will have a testimonials section which allows you to look comments and feedback from satisfied clients.

When you have located a hauler that can do the job you can arrange a date for the transportation and they will require some details. You will need to supply the pick up and delivery addresses along with the dimensions and weight of your vessel so that they can calculate a price. The company will then prepare a quote and it is advisable to contact different firms and make some price comparisons before you commit to anything.

Other services may also be offered by the movers including the storage and overseas transportation. Sometimes a boat will need to be securely stored before delivery and they will arrange this. Many overseas moves will require a lot of legal paperwork and documents to be prepared and the specialists will take care of this.

All firms should have the correct type of insurance to cover the move but it is worth checking that this is adequate to cover your particular vessel. It is also a good idea to have someone at the delivery address to check the vessel for damage when it arrives. It is important to keep any receipts for payment as you may need to refer to them in the future.
