Preparing Your Boat for Transport


If your Boat is being transported by land, there are several preparatory tasks to complete to ensure a smooth transportation process. Plan ahead to give yourself enough time to prepare and find a suitable transport service.


Check the condition - Thoroughly inspect the interior and exterior of your Boat for any pre-existing damage, allowing you to identify any damage during transit. Consider taking photographs of the condition before its journey.


Remove valuables - Ensure you remove any valuable items from your Boat before it's transported, as these will not be insured.


Empty the bilge, water, refuse stores, and the majority of fuel - Pump out wastewater and other liquids. Empty freshwater tanks and rubbish stores, disconnect fuel tanks, and empty the majority of the gasoline to make the Boat lighter to transport and prevent potential leakages during transport.
