Upon calling Heavy Equipment Shipper, be prepared to answer the following questions to recieve an accurate quote:
- What is the length, beam (width), height, and weight of the vessel?
- What is the address of the location where you need the boat picked up?
- What is the address of the location where you need the boat delivered?
- Will the boat be on a trailer? If so, is the trailer operational?
When it comes to transporting a boat, there are several important factors that can influence the cost:
- Distance: One of the main things that affects the price is how far the boat needs to be transported. Typically, you can expect to pay between $1.75 and $4.00 for every mile the boat travels.
- Size: The size of the boat is another key factor in determining transport costs. Generally, larger boats—meaning those that are longer, wider, taller, and heavier—will be more expensive to move. Bigger boats require special equipment and extra care during transport, which adds to the overall price.
- Oversized Load Regulations: Different states have their own rules about what qualifies as an oversized load. Usually, if a boat is wider than 8.5 feet, it is considered oversized. Transporting these larger boats often requires special permits, and sometimes you may even need a vehicle to escort the boat on its journey. These additional requirements can increase the cost of transport significantly.
- Time of Year: The season in which you choose to move your boat can also play a big role in the price. The transportation industry is busiest from March to October because many people want to move their boats during this time. Due to high demand, prices tend to be higher during these months. To save money, it’s smart to book your boat transport ahead of time, sometimes several weeks or even months in advance.
By keeping these factors in mind, you can better understand the costs associated with transporting your boat.
