A lot of boat owners will have to relocate their vessel at certain times for many various reasons. A small boat can be loaded onto an appropriate trailer and towed to its destination with a vehicle. Large boats and yachts will have to be moved by specialists and if you are trying to locate a team of professional boat haulers it is advisable to look at all of the available options before making any decisions.

Any type of vessel can be moved by road to various destinations by a specialist firm and it is extremely important that you hire a team that is licensed and fully insured. Most companies will move smaller boats using a pick up truck or van along with a trailer. Larger crafts will need to be craned on and off a flat bed truck.

The costs of transporting a boat are going to vary and depend on a few things such as the size and final destination. If you are only need to move a craft a short distance then the fees will be reasonable and the process simple. Long distance moves will cost larger amounts of money and will take longer.

When you have decided to move your vessel you will need to locate a specialist firm and there are few places where you are able to find one. Contact details can be found in telephone books and in leisure magazines. Yacht clubs, local marina offices and transport companies in your neighborhood may also be able to provide the contact details of a company.

You can also find a company by searching the net and there are many that advertise online. Most of the web based companies will issue an instant quote for the road move after you have submitted some details. Many of the web sites will have a testimonials section which allows you to look comments and feedback from satisfied clients.

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 movers such as storage and overseas shipping. Secure storage can be arranged which is useful if your vessel can not be delivered straight away. If you are moving to another county there will be a lot of paperwork needed and your chosen transport company will be able to handle the legalities.

The majority of firms that provide transport will usually have adequate insurance cover in place for moving boats but it is always worth checking beforehand. You should also ensure that someone is at the delivery address to supervise the unloading and to inspect the vessel for any damage. Always retain payment receipts for the job in case you need to refer to them at a later date.
