Proper preparation of your boat for boat transport requires careful planning and attention to detail on both the part of the owner and the boat Transport service companies involved. Proper preparation of the boat for Transport is the responsibility of the owner. If your boat is not properly prepared for shipment, it will typically be transported “as is” and the boat carrier will not accept responsibility for any resulting damage. To make the transport as safe and efficient as possible, here are some things to think about:
1) Have the boat ready to load when the truck arrives at its scheduled time. Boat Transport companies do their best to deliver the boat at the estimated time. However, this is an approximation due to the many factors beyond their control such as weather, traffic, permitted re-routes, and availability of marina operations for loading and offloading schedules.
2) The boat transport company will not be responsible for any damages caused by improper preparation.
3) The preparation of your boat for Transport is key to the safe delivery of your boat to its destination. For example, if your boat is being moved at 60 miles per hour into a 14 mile per hour head wind, it is experiencing hurricane force conditions. Also, take in account any inclement weather that may be encountered en-route.
