Centrally located between the Northeast and the state of Florida, we are only a day’s drive from most major cities on the east coast. Our primary market extends from the I-95 corridor to the Great Lakes. This focus allows for quick delivery of your boats in an economical manner. When we are traveling the I-95 corridor with your boat or trailer, we normally overnight at our farm in southern Virginia, where it is protected in our barn. Once your boat or trailer is locked to our truck, it is not removed until it arrives at its destination.

We provide transparency with pricing your transport needs, providing detail in the why’s, how’s, and precise dates for pickup and delivery.  Pricing and delivery time are based on a 10 drive-hour day.

We are insured to protect your investment while we are responsible for your boat or trailer. Our Trucks travel at interstate freeway speed limits which allows for greater safety for you and better care of our equipment. We travel the heavier traffic metropolitan areas when traffic is light for safer travels as well. Our drivers have a combined driving history of no major accidents in 80 years behind the wheel. 

Please contact us today, let’s have a conversation and begin a mutually beneficial partnership!

Boat Transport

Do you need your boat moved from storage to a new marina? Did you buy a new boat that’s a 1000 miles away? We can help!

We can transport any boat that is no more than 8’6″ wide, 13’6″ tall, and 35 feet long. Since we are a light truck transport company that is the limitations put on us by the DOT. The boat must be on a trailer that is road-worthy; the lights and brakes must be working and there needs to be a spare tire. Check out our FAQs page for more specific information.

When we come to pick up your boat, we will do an inspection to make sure that everything is good to go. Once your boat is hooked up to our truck, we will lock the trailer tongue to ensure that no one can remove it. If we are going to be storing your boat at our home location for any length of time, we will attach and tongue lock to prevent unauthorized hook ups.

Pricing for each boat and trip is unique, but averages $1.75 – $2.25 per mile. Contact us to get a free quote!

How do I prepare my boat and boat trailer or RV trailer for moving?

1. Tires: Check the tires. Look for the right air pressure. Air pressure should be located on each tire. If a tire on a trailer is not properly inflated, it can blow while in transport. Look for dry rot. If a tire is old or has been sitting in area for a long time it may have dry rot causing the tire to be unsafe. If the tire has bad dry rot on it, then it is much safer to just replace the tire before having a transporter come out to pick up boat or RV trailer. In any case, it is always good to have a spare tire with the trailer. If a tire goes bad along the way, the driver will put your spare on. If no spare is available, we will buy a tire and put it on. You would have to reimburse the driver for the tire purchased.
2. Bearings: Each wheel on a boat or RV trailer will have bearings. If the bearings are not greased, then the bearings may get very hot and cause the bearings to go bad. If that happens, the wheel can come off of the axle. Most bearings have grease fittings where you can pump grease easily into the bearing. Our drivers are trained to look out for that during transport, but preparing it before shipment will reduce any risk.
3. Lights: Lights should be on the trailer and working correctly.. If your trailer has no lights, please let us know in advance so we can bring lights that attach to the back of your trailer. If you have no way to check to see if all lights are working, please let us know in advance so we can send a driver out there with lights. We have adapters that can allow us to connect all sorts of wiring harnesses to our truck.
4. Boat Covers/Canopy/Shrink Wrap: Please understand that there are variable results transporting shrink-wrapped boast and, while we will make every effort to keep the wrap on, we can not guarantee that the boat wrap will be intact at delivery. Please make sure that all canopies are moved to the down position if at all possible. All windows and roof vents on travel trailers should be closed and locked.
5. What are the dimensions of your boat / RV Trailer: We are limited to boats and trailers that are 8’6” wide or under and under 13’6” tall. The maximum length of your boat or RV trailer should be 35 feet or under.
