Why Do I Need Boat Transportation?


There are many reasons why you might need boat transportation in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK. Perhaps you've just purchased a new boat and need it delivered to its new home. Or maybe you need to get your boat to a destination on land for maintenance or storage. Whatever the reason, we can help you find a reliable and professional company for shipping your boat.


Boat haulage companies in the UK and internationally will know the ins and outs of working with boats, marinas, and ports and should help you with all the aspects of the transportation process. Listing your boat transportation on Shiply and our network of transport providers will quote you prices. You simply need to fill out a form with some basic information about your boat to be transported and you will receive free quotes in pounds sterling or euros, depending on where you are located.


How Much Does It Cost To Transport A Boat?


The cost of boat transport will vary depending on a number of factors, but as an average cost, you can expect to pay between £100 to £260 for shorter distances and between £450 and £750 for longer journeys. The average cost per mile for standard boat transport is around £1.50 per mile in the UK, but as stated, this can vary depending on the size of the boat.


The size of the boat being moved will affect the cost significantly, for example, small boat transport is easy as they can often be hauled on the road, whereas something like a larger sailboat or narrowboat will require special attention and will likely cost more to transport. A narrowboat may require specialist narrowboat movers due to their unique size. Whether the boat needs to be transported within the UK or internationally will also play a role in the pricing, as international boat transport will cost a lot more and may require different companies to those in the UK who specialise in road transport.


Using Cambridge Boat Transport to Find a Boat Transporter


To make a listing on Shiply, you only need to fill in a short form with some details about your boat and the pick-up and drop-off dates and locations. Once your listing is complete, you will begin to receive free quotes from different transport providers - some of which may reach out to you in order to understand the required services more clearly so they can know how best to quote for the work.


By road - If your vessel needs to be hauled within the same country, you'll find that road transportation is likely to be the best option. If you're moving parts of a boat only or a non-starting boat, transportation by road is your only option.

Preparing Your Boat for Transport


If your vessel is being transported by land, there are a number of preparatory jobs to do to ensure that the transportation goes as smoothly as possible. You'll want to plan as far ahead as possible to give yourself enough time to prepare for the transport and to enable you to find a suitable transport service.


Check the condition - Make sure you thoroughly check the interior and exterior of your vessel for any previous damage, this way you can see if it suffers any during transit. You may want to take photographs of the condition before its journey. Remove valuables - Make sure you take anything valuable off your boat before it's transported as these will not be insured.

Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?

Can I Change The Address Of The Delivery?

Do I Need To Take My Boat Anywhere?

Typically, boat transporters on Shiply will be able to pick your boat up from wherever it is located and will use special boat trailers to do so.

Can I Keep Items In My Boat During Transportation?

This will likely be up to your boat transporter's discretion, so make sure to ask! One thing to note is that the items will likely not be covered by the insurance that covers the boat, so don't leave anything in there you cannot easily replace.
