By James Powell


With shipping season quickly approaching, many owners are finding themselves in need of quality, reliable Small ship Transport services. There can be any number of reasons for an owner to need to move his or her vessel from one place to another, but in all cases, safe small yacht transport is a top priority. The following article will lead us through the theme what you need to know about small boat transportation services.

Professionals liner movers provide safe hauling of your cruiser with minimal risk for damages that you may incur should you decide to do it yourself. Using a sailboat shipping company will certainly give the peace of mind all throughout the move and that you are guaranteed that your ship is protected and safe once it arrives to its destination.

One of the best methods of transporting a ship or any sea vessel is by water. Sailing it from port A to port B is much safer because it eliminates the risks associated with highway transport potential problems or unexpected road accidents. However, there are certain locations wherein no body of water is available to begin sailing so using yacht haulers services is certainly the most practical thing to do.

But always remember that it is important to carefully choose your ship movers because only an experienced company that have been in the business for years can guarantee the safe arrival of your vessel to whatever destination you are bound to go. Transporting smaller water crafts and light vessels are much easier because you only need to have a trailer which you can attach to the back of your car and you are off to go wherever you plan to set sail.

For those considering any type of small boat transport this season, it is wise to go over the trailer. Some of the most important parts of the trailer to examine before using the yacht trailer are the wheel bearings. Generally, if wheel bearings have not been serviced in the last six months they should be serviced before using the trailer for transport purposes.

I would use a company that has a great name personally. I have had a bad experience with using a company without doing research and once my yacht was transported with damage I was not pleased. Then I took the time to read about the company that orchestrated my boat transport and they had a bad reputation online just about everywhere. If I had done the research beforehand I would have not had a damaged boat and had my time wasted having someone repair it.

It is always a good practice to examine the coupler closely as well. A weak or broken coupler can cause dangerous conditions if it fails while the trailer is in use. Tires should be inspected and repaired or replaced if needed. And, of course, inspecting and testing the brakes should be performed before each and every use, but especially before scheduling a small boat transport service.

Do not forget to take pictures of your boat from all sides so you can have proof of the condition of your ship prior to the move. Should an accident happen, you will have something to show the moving company and the insurance provider. Yacht haulers must be experienced, reliable, insured, bonded and knowledgeable. It is essential that the company have the experience in the marine industry to transport the yacht whether down the street, across the country or internationally.
