Helpful Yacht Transport Tips For Riders Accompanying Their Vessel

By Deborah Evans


If one is moving to another part of the country, everything in the household has to be relocated. If someone in the house owns a boat, moving it safely will be a prime concern. Boat movers require the boat to be properly prepared for transport. They will not move the boat unless certain details are taken care of. The doors need to be closed properly. Batteries and cables must be disconnected. Boats should be covered by shrink-wrap. The shrink-wrap is a heat sealed surface to ward off hot sun and water from chafing the surface. Wooden boats are transported in a custom cradle. Most yacht transport professionals would not accept responsibility for damage if the boat were not prepared for transport.

The driver transporting the boat will survey the exteriors of the boat. He makes a report of the condition of the boat. Damages if any have to be reported while taking delivery of the boat. The transporters haul boats and yachts of all sizes. These services have qualified skippers and a good crew. They give detailed information on port delivery, freight, and insurance. Training is given on boat navigation, sailing, and boat handling.

Fresh water should be provided for your entire voyage, but it's good to be aware that it may end up being restricted based on consumption and tank levels. Don't overuse it and you should be fine. There will be access to electricity, but plug-in connections are not always readily available - or present at all.

Time changes frequently occur while you're traveling, and this can cause sleeping problems for many riders. It's a good idea to bring some sort of medicine that can cause drowsiness to help you sleep if this occurs. In addition, if your yacht transportation vessel has set meal times, you'll need to be aware of the time changes, so you don't miss them. Many riders find the meals on marine transport carriers to be fairly enjoyable and served frequently enough that they don't get hungry. It's not a bad idea to bring a few of your favorite snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, however, because there is no guarantee that they'll be available.

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

Please note the following steps to get ready for transportation: Take away all personal possessions and loose articles in or on the boat. Lock all hatches, doors, and cupboards by taping them. Predominantly on long distances, seal exterior hatches if they are not waterproof. Drain all fuel and water tanks, and disconnect batteries. Water systems, such as air conditioning and pumps, etc. Should be sapped during winter months to shun damage. Any external structures such as electronic tools or radar units should be removed if possible and padded.

Owners should also examine the wiring and lighting systems to ensure that all lights, including brake lights and turn signals, are working properly. 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 transportation service.
