South Carolina Boat Transport

South Carolina Boat Transporters have to follow the South Carolina state DOT regulations at all times. Requirements for over size boats:

  • When transporting a boat in South Carolina, the hours of operation are regulated. Generally the hours of operation are one-half hour after sunrise to one-half hour before sunset.
  • Any boat over 8’6” wide must have a permit issued by the state and may be ordered online. It’s quick and easy if done in the morning hours. Keep in mind that some cities and metropolitan areas may require additional permits.
  • Any boat over 12’ wide will require one escort.
  • Any boat over 14’ wide will require two escorts.
  • A height pole may be required for any load over 13’6”.
  • Any load that can be reduced to legal, 13’6”, must be done so prior to transport.
  • Travel is NOT permitted on Sunday and restrictions may apply on federal and state holidays.
