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.

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 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.

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.
