What Is The Process of Transporting a Yacht by Land?
Pre-Yacht Transport
First, we will discuss the details of your transport. The key things that we will need to know are: the measurements of your boat, make and model, timeframe & desired route.
Measuring your boat accurately is vital for us to know if it can or can’t be transported by land legally along your required route. If your yacht is oversized, or will need to travel through cities with many narrow roads or low bridges, we will need to research the transport route & requirements by obtaining permits & perhaps pole cars or police escorts in your locale if they are legally required.
Next, we will send you a quote and then a digital contract once we have confirmed the logistics and timeframe with the driver. Since equipment and drivers are in high demand, we require a 50% deposit to reserve your pick-up-date range on our schedule. Once the contract is signed and we have received the deposit, we will reach out to your marina to introduce ourselves and begin the coordinated process to ensure your boat is ready for transport on pick-up day.
During Yacht Transport
On pick-up day your boat will be loaded and strapped down to the trailer at the marina (or other pick-up location).
The loading process typically takes a couple of hours. The driver would be happy to take a picture of your loaded boat at the marina and send it to you. The driver will provide frequent updates on progress and the condition of the boat throughout the transport.
Once we arrive at your destination, the marina will unload your yacht from the trailer & the process is complete! Enjoy your boat in its new destination.
How Much Does Boat Transport by Truck Cost?
In general, price for yacht trucking is dependent on these two factors: miles from origin to destination and the size and weight of the boat being transported. Additionally, oversized loads (especially being transported through multiple countries or states) become more costly due to the need for permits & pilot cars.
Typically, if you can provide us with the accurate measurements of your yacht, your desired route & timeframe, then we can provide you with a verbal estimate of cost over the phone on our first call. If you submit a quote for yacht transport by land via our form, we will call or e-mail you a quote promptly.
