Here are a few examples of types of boats we commonly transport:

Shipment for Oversized Boats
When it comes to oversized boats, there are specific regulations that come into play. However, at All Day Auto Transport, we have the means and experience to handle vehicles of many sizes.
Any boat or yacht over 35 feet long or over 8 feet wide is considered oversized and may require extra permits and escorts during ground transports. Our team is equipped to transport boats up to 45 feet long and as tall as 13.5 feet relatively easily, so chances are we’ll be able to manage your shipment for you.
For boats to be transported overland, there are a few requirements. Boats traveling along the highway cannot be wider than 12’0”, taller than 13’6”, and must be picked up and dropped off at locations with at least 14’0” overhead clearance. Sometimes removing bridges, towers, and masts can help to ensure overland transportation is possible for taller boats.
Flexible Boat Transport Options
Whatever your type of boat, we can organize a way to transport it to your destination of choice. Based on your type of boat, we may recommend different transport methods such as a tow-behind, boat trailer, or low boy. We have load options available to work around your situation and make pick-up as straightforward a process for you as possible. Whether your boat is on land or left on the water, we can organize a pick-up plan that works for all involved. We have both marina lift and wet load/launch options available for our clients.
Preparing Your Boat for Transport
Before reaching out to the All Day Auto Transport team, we recommend you prepare all the dimensions and details of your boat and journey needs. This will help us to make the process as efficient and easy as possible, and will help us to understand all the preparation needed for your vehicle’s shipment. Before pick-up, your boat will need to be emptied of personal belongings, left uncovered, and have less than a quarter tank of fuel.
We have all the equipment to transport almost any boat – with flatbeds and hydraulic boat trailers fit for jobs of any size. However, shipping costs will drop significantly if we are able to transport it using the owner’s own trailer. If you’re interested in shipment with a discount, ensure that your trailer is roadworthy and ready for use.
Preparing Your Boat for Transport
The sooner you reach out, the sooner we’ll be able to connect you with your perfect transportation. Gather all measurements and requirements of your vehicle before contacting us, and from there, we’ll aim to organize your transportation service within about five days.
Pricing varies considerably for every client. The cost of your boat’s transportation will depend on several factors, including the size of your boat and the length of your trip. We have specialists readily available to help discuss the details of your service and provide a thorough estimate of how much the shipment, insurance, and permits will cost you.
The biggest factor in determining how long transport of your boat will take from pick-up to delivery is the distance of the service. We employ experienced, professional drivers who typically cover 400-500 miles every day. Further distances may take longer than that, and in rare cases, unexpected delays from rough weather, roadwork, or vehicle issues could arise.
We recommend all canvas covers and tops be removed prior to shipment. This is simply because they may fly off or rip throughout transit, and we aim to avoid any damage coming to your property. Our carriers are not responsible for any damages to the vessel if you choose not to remove your cover prior to pick-up.
After you receive your complimentary quote for boat transport and we determine the specifics of your required service, we will aim to find you a driver within five days. Next, we will process payment and organize a time to schedule the pick-up of your vehicle. We will provide you with an estimated date and time for your boat’s arrival at its destination, and during the allotted pick-up time, your driver will complete a thorough inspection of the vehicle. Then, the journey begins, and upon arrival, your driver will again inspect the vehicle to ensure no damage has come to it over the course of the trip.
All boats must be completely emptied of personal belongings and items prior to shipment. All that can remain in the boat are factory-installed items that cannot be removed. All Day Auto Transport and most insurance companies will not take responsibility for any personal items lost during shipment.
As U.S. Federal law dictates, you will need to empty your tank to less than one-fourth full prior to your boat’s pick-up. Anything more than that will not be compliant with national transportation regulations.
