1. You tell us about the move
Use the quote form to share your pickup and delivery ZIP codes, boat type, size, trailer situation and timing. It takes about three minutes. If you don't know a measurement, that's fine: tick "not sure" and the transporter will confirm it with you.
2. We review your request
We check that the request is complete and makes sense, for example that the ZIP codes are valid and the size fits the boat type. If something is missing we may contact you first. This keeps requests useful for transporters, which means faster, more accurate quotes for you.
3. We share it with up to three suitable providers
We pass your request to up to three independent transport providers who handle your type and size of boat on your route. We don't post your details publicly or sell them to large lists of companies.
4. Providers contact you with quotes
Interested providers contact you directly by your preferred method. Quotes depend on details they'll confirm with you, such as exact dimensions, access at pickup and delivery, and dates.
5. You choose, or don't
You're never obliged to book. If you do, your agreement is directly with the transport provider, who is responsible for the move, its insurance and its terms. Before booking:
- Look up the company's USDOT and MC numbers on the FMCSA SAFER system and check that its operating status is authorized.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance showing cargo coverage suitable for your boat's value.
- Get the price, what's included, the pickup window and the payment terms in writing.
Our guide to choosing a boat transport company covers this in more detail.
How we're paid
Using TransportMyBoat.com is free for boat owners. We may receive a referral fee from transport providers for requests we send them. This doesn't affect the price you're quoted, and we only share your request with providers suited to your move.
What we are, and aren't
TransportMyBoat.com is an independent referral service. We don't own trucks, employ drivers or transport boats, and we're not a party to your agreement with the transporter. We don't guarantee a provider's availability, price or performance, which is why we encourage you to check every provider before booking.
