Boat Transport in Leeds — FAQ
How much does boat transport cost?
A small dinghy or RIB locally typically costs £100–£300. Larger motorboats or longer distances can range from £300 to £800+. Wide load permits add cost for vessels over 2.55m wide.
What size boats can be transported?
Most drivers cover dinghies, RIBs, and small motorboats up to around 8m. Larger vessels may require specialist haulage with wide load permits. Describe your boat's length, beam, and weight when posting.
Does my boat need to be on a trailer?
Ideally yes — boats on their own trailer are significantly easier and cheaper to transport. If your boat has no trailer, mention this when posting as some drivers can provide cradles or arrange trailers.
What details should I include when posting?
Boat type, length, beam width, weight (approximate), whether it has a trailer, collection and delivery locations (marina, yard, or address), and any access restrictions at either end.
Can boats be transported long distance?
Yes — many drivers cover the full length of the UK. Long-distance moves may require an overnight stop, which drivers will factor into their quote.
Is my boat insured during transport?
This depends on the driver's insurance. Your existing boat insurance may also provide transit cover — check your policy. For valuable craft, confirm the driver's Goods in Transit cover limit before accepting their bid.
