Boat Transportation Services: Haulage vs. Sea Delivery

There are two primary methods of transportation for boats; boat haulage and boat transport by sea. The type you opt for can depend on the size or type of craft and where your vessel needs to be delivered.

Boat Haulage (Road Transport)

Moving boats inland, cross country or to landlocked countries can be undertaken by boat haulage companies. They have the necessary equipment and knowledge to get your boat to the destination you need. We only use reliable boat haulage and yacht delivery companies at DeliveryQuoteCompare.com, those with experience of working with marinas, boat yards and ports. In addition they will also know what methods for transporting and securing your boat for safety and will supply extra equipment if necessary.

Boat Transport by Sea (Sailing & Crewed Delivery)

You can have your vessel sailed to the required destination if you are unable to sail it yourself or if it has been sold or bought. This can be cheaper than transportation via road, however it can only be done port to port, or inland waterways with access to the sea. You will be quoted for a fully qualified and experienced Captain or MCA crew, who will prepare your vessel and plan a route to take, taking into account weather and your estimated delivery dates.

❓ FAQ for Boat Transport Services

1. Q: What is the main difference between boat haulage and boat transport by sea?

• A: Boat haulage refers to road transport (using trailers or flatbed lorries) and is ideal for moving vessels inland, across countries, or to landlocked areas. Boat transport by sea involves having a qualified Captain or MCA crew sail your vessel to the destination. Sea transport is often cheaper but only works for port-to-port destinations.

2. Q: Is my boat insured during the move, and what preparation is required?

• A: Yes. All specialist boat transport companies on our platform carry Goods in Transit insurance to protect your vessel. Before transport, you must clear the boat's interior, secure all hatches and fittings, and if using road haulage, ensure the vessel is prepared and secured for the road.

3. Q: Can you arrange transport for a yacht that is not on a road-legal trailer?

• A: Yes. For vessels that are too large, complex, or not on a road-legal trailer, our network includes specialist haulage companies with the necessary wide-load permits, cradles, and equipment to secure and transport the vessel safely by road to its destination.

4. Q: Who handles route planning and weather monitoring for sea delivery?

• A: If you choose boat transport by sea, the fully qualified Captain or MCA crew will manage all aspects of the journey, including detailed route planning, provisioning, and continuous weather monitoring to ensure the vessel reaches its destination safely and promptly.

5. Q: Can I use your service to transport a boat I bought on eBay or from an overseas seller?

• A: Absolutely. We can match you with specialist hauliers who manage the collection logistics for boats purchased online, whether domestic or from overseas ports. Simply provide the collection and drop-off points, and companies will quote for the entire journey.
