Yacht Transport Preparation Guide

Yacht is a relative term used to describe a large boat . When the word "Yacht" is used, it conjures up visions of a very large Boat. In our world of transporting Boats and Yachts, both sailboats and powerboats the term generally describes a Boat that exceeds the following dimensions, 16 feet wide, 16 feet tall and over around 40,000 pounds in weight. Our Yacht Transport specialists are well versed in the logistics of transporting Yachts across the country. Some of the brands of boats we have moved to date are Carver, Mainship, Searay, Silverton, Nordic Tug, Ocean Alexander, Hunter, Catalina, Benetau, Swan, Oyster to name a few. Feel free to contact us for any specific questions you may have.

Our Yacht Transport Specialists Handle All The Logistics  

We make every effort to give accurate and precise quotes when we quote a Yacht Transport. We include all permits, route surveys, police escorts. We do not charge a fuel surcharge. We feel fuel surcharges are for companies that do not know how to manage their trucks or know how to quote a boat relocation. There are times when the individual states that we apply for permits from add stipulations in the provisions that are not known at the time of the quote. This can be influenced by road construction, time of year etc.

Oversize Powerboat and Sailboat Transport Logistics

When Transporting Yachts, both Sailboats and Powerboats that are oversize in dimension, some of the logistics and provisions we are required to comply with are as such. We are always required to used pilot cars and pole cars when they eceed the state or city regulations. We need to comply with the curfews given to us as far as when and where we can travel while Transporting a oversize Yacht. This once again is dictated by the state issuing the permit, be it the state or city.

Overheight Yacht Hauling

There are times when it is necessary to remove the flybridge or radar arch to reduce the overall height when Transporting Yachts. Overall height is one of our major concerns with Transporting PowerBoats. When the overall height, meaning when loaded on the Transport Trailer, can be reduced it not only makes it safer, but can dramatically reduce the costs of the Transport. You would be amazed at what a few inches can do to reduce the costs. We hope this page has been informative, specifics of coarse can be discussed that apply to your Yacht. We encourage you to contact one of our Yacht Transporters, our drivers are not dot com companys, rather real people Transporting Yachts across this country of ours.
