Finding A Reputable Team Of Boat Movers

By Richard Cole


If you own a boat, you may at some point need it moving to another location. A small craft can be put onto its trailer and simply towed which is a fairly simple process. Larger vessels will have to be transported by a professional team and you will need to look for reliable boat movers and a little research is required.

All vessels can be moved with the correct equipment and it is imperative that you hire a reliable team of specialists to handle the transportation. If you need a small boat moving, the firm will bring a trailer and tow it to its destination. Larger boats will need specialist hoists at both ends as well as the appropriate unit and trailer to move it by road.

The prices you are charged will depend on the size of the vessel and its destination. Short interstate moves will be a swift process and fairly inexpensive. Moving boats over long distances or abroad will take much longer and will cost a substantial amount of money.

After deciding to move your vessel, you will need to find a well established team of movers, and there are a couple of options available. You can search through the local phone book or business pages and find contact numbers there. The other option is to search the internet where there are many companies listed that specialize in moving boats of all sizes.

When you contact a firm to handle the transportation, you will need to have some details noted down which they will ask for. You will have to supply the collection and delivery addresses as well as the length, width and weight of the vessel. The company will then give you a price to do the job and they will wait for the go ahead. It is worth contacting a few firms for estimates so that you can get the best deal.

Many of the online movers will have a form on their web page where you can enter your details and an instant quote will be issued. If you choose this method it is imperative that your details are correct so that the price can be calculated. Most of the internet sites will have a review section with feedback from clients and these comments are worth reading before you make a booking.

Some of the firms will also offer other services such as transporting small sail boats and jet skis. If your craft has to go into storage for a period of time they will also be ale to arrange this for you. When moving boats overseas, they will often be kept in a warehouse for a while, before they reach the final destination.

You should always do some background checks on your chosen firm to ensure they are licensed and insured to move boats. The firms will have their own insurance cover in place but it is worth double checking before you commit. On the delivery day, it is important to have someone there to accept delivery and check that everything is in order, before signing the documents.
