The Cost of Boat Transport
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.

Either way, it’s essential that you check your Boat post-transit to ensure that it hasn’t been damaged and ask the transporter about any discrepancies so they can be sorted out quickly.'
Once your Boat is safely docked or secured, you can remove the tape and other securing materials, refill water tanks, reattach batteries and motors or re-rig your sailboat so it’s ready to be used again.'
