How To Choose Small Boat Haulers

By Walter Thompson


You are a proud owner of a small boat or even a small yacht and you want to haul it to a different location altogether. Your boat is less than fifty feet in length, and most of the bigger hauling companies out there have been giving you conflicting quotes. Thus you are in the market for boat haulers that deal with your size boat and you want reliable ones at that. If this is indeed the case, then do read on in this article.

Before you do anything else, it may be a good idea to make a checklist first. This checklist will assist you in keeping track of all the things needed to be done in searching for a reliable service provider. This checklist will mean a step closer to a much better and solid decision. Always use a checklist when having to make a decision that involves spending money.

The primary thing to do on your checklist will be to ask around from friends and colleagues who also own boats for a proper recommendation to address your needs. If this does not pan out for you then you can always go online for answers. Do check out local forums that will deal with the subject and ask members from these forums for assistance in pointing you in the right direction.

Once you do get some candidates on your list, focus on the ones that specialize in vessels that are fifty feet or less. In so doing when you ask for quotations, you will get standard ones and not ones that are flying all over the place, Also make sure that you deal with a provider that does not sub contract its equipment from someone else, but rather own them.

Do look for a service provider who is properly licensed and registered with the Department of Transportation. In addition their equipment should also be safety certified by their respective authorities as well. When dealing with service providers, always deal with ones who are legitimate and registered.

Choose a service provider which has proper bond coverage and insurance protection also. By choosing a service provider that has insurance coverage basically means you also have coverage for your investment as well. You will therefore have no qualms or fears if you move with a service provider that has insurance. When having your investment, or rather your boat in this case, being handled by third party providers of any sort, always put a premium on protection of value before jumping into any contracting decision.

Go also with a moving or hauling service that can do all the paperwork for you, especially when needing border permits and also permits for oversize beams. A reliable service should not burden you with the paperwork for permits and the like and should be able to give you a complete service in this regard.

This article has basically shown you some considerations for you to mull over and think about before contracting a service for hauling your boat. It will also be of tremendous help if you can get a verifiable client list for you to peruse so that you can attest to the reliability and dependability of such a service based on the experiences of their customers in the past.
