How to Transport a Boat Easily?

We often get asked how to easily transport a boat. Many people don’t know that it’s really simple to buy a boat from another state and have it transported because there are actually several companies offering local or interstate boat transportation.

Is It Possible to Transport a Boat Without a Trailer?

Many boats are either too big for a standard trailer, are docked at marinas or on a berth in the water. If you’re thinking of buying a boat already in the water, you don’t necessarily need to rent or buy a trailer to move it.

Another option is to take it to a local marina to be lifted out of the water and then transported by road to your chosen destination. However, this can be costly and involve extra handling and marina fees.

Some people do invest in a trailer, but this comes with its own costs, and often the boat ends up unused in the driveway. Keeping it in the water eliminates this worry and gets you closer to enjoying a day on the water.

The most affordable way to move your boat without a trailer is to use a service like Slip Away Boat Transport. They offer a unique “float on, float off” service where they meet you at the boat ramp, take your boat out of the water, and handle all the logistics for you.

Can You Purchase a Boat from Another State and Move It?

Some folks spot boats in marketplaces from other states and worry it might be hard to buy them from afar. But it’s actually quite easy. There are many ways to relocate a boat, like driving it down (depending on the boat type), but the most efficient way is by road transport.

Several boat transport companies can haul boats across Australia, picking them up from sellers, dealers, or marinas.

Can You Shift a Boat to Enjoy Different Spots?

Serious boaters often move their boats to different places during the year to enjoy various weather, activities, or fishing seasons. Instead of risking a voyage on the open ocean and adding engine hours, you can transport it by road. Using float-on and float-off transport is the simplest method, as you don’t need your own trailer but still gain access to many locations.

Transporting Your Boat for Servicing

Another reason to transport your boat is for servicing, maintenance, or upgrades. Antifouling the hull or servicing engines are common tasks, while some may opt for restorations or replacing items damaged by the elements. Transporting your boat by road makes these tasks easy, and you can choose from various service providers.

As you browse different marketplaces, don’t hesitate to check out boats in other states. These days, it’s easy to transport your boat from a ramp, marina, dealer, or private seller, no matter where they are.
