Check the condition of your Boat & take photographs before transport. Remove any valuables & empty the bilge, water, & refuse stores. Disconnect the battery & tidy up cables to prevent any damage during transport. Make sure all accessories & life jackets are stowed away in lockers, & secure all doors & compartments.


For sailboats, remove all winches & rigging from the mast & provide padding for points where the mast will be tied down. Pulpits, stanchions, & lifelines should only be taken off if they will make the Boat too large to transport easily.

Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?

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.
