Ground transport

As part of our international boat export service, Boat Export USA the boat transporter provide our customers with inland or ground transportation from anywhere in US to our facility. We can pick up your boat or yacht from boat dealer, private seller, boat trader, liquidation auction, marina, e-bay, boat auction and more. We transport powerboats and sailboats up to 50′ long.

All of our equipment is designed to adequately and safely support your boat and its accompanying structures such as a fly bridge or mast.When transporting a boat from marina to our prep center, we make sure a marina or boatyard with at least 14′ overhead clearance on its approach.

Legal height limit is 13’6″ meaning when the boat is on our trailer that is what the overall height is. If the boat height is 12′ we are within the legal height limitations. If your boat is over 12′ high, we can be take off a fly bridge or bow culpit or we can stick the keel into the trailer, which will also lower the overall height of the load.

Boats that are over 8’6 wide are considered to be an “oversize load” and will require permits to be trucked in every US state. Those permits will be obtained by us and are included as part of the hauling charges. Boats that are over 12′ wide may require an “certified escort”. This too is a extra charges that will be included in your transport charges.

The only time you will run into extra charges is if we are re-routed by the state when ordering the over sized permits. This will happen when there is road construction or some other detour that will not allow your boat to go on that particular road. When we are re-directed it adds additional mileage to the trip you will be charged per mile over and above the mileage quoted in your contract for this particular haul.

For your convenience we have various boat trailers that are sure to fit your needs. All equipment is air-ride in order to allow a smooth ride for the over the road transport of your boat. Our 53′ low boy or belly trailer can safely support large over sized boats or multiple boats thereby lowering your boat transport cost.Our 45′ hydraulic trailer can self-load and unload power and sailboats of any size. As long as we can get the rig in your yard you supply the blocking and/or jack stands and the boat is where you want it to be.

If your boat or yacht doesn’t have a trailer, no worries, we will provide ours.
