Boat Shipping Anaheim, California
Transporting your vessel to or from Anaheim, CA, will be easier and less stressful if you use a seasoned boat shipping company.
For over ten years, A-1 Auto Transport has been transporting boats from the east to the west coasts and across the country. As a result of our experience, we guarantee to provide the most appropriate and cost-effective shipping services.
Types of Anaheim, CA Boat Transport Services
We offer various boat shipping services to and from Anaheim, CA. Before shipping your boat to California, ensure all permits are current. DOT regulations include the following:
- Oversized boats, such as those that are wider than 8'6" and taller than 13'6", require permits to be hauled across the state.
- Boats wider than 12' require one escort.
- A pilot car is required for vessels taller than 14’.
Boat transport
Among the items we transport are boats, ships, and other watercraft. Our services include international yacht transfers, interstate shipping, shrink wrapping, and full-service moving options.
Powerboat shipping
A powerboat can be challenging to ship because its height must be considered when planning the route. Different states' boat transportation laws and regulations may differ. Boats up to 13'6" in the mid-Atlantic and northeast, and up to 14' in other parts of the country, can be transported, but boats taller than this usually require permits and pole cars.
In addition, because some states forbid the importation of plants from other states, you must ensure that the bottom of your vessel is clear of grass and plants.
Sailboat Transport
Shipping sailboats is a complex process that should only be handled by experts. All lights, winches, wind indicators, and rigging must be removed before hauling off your sailboat. Your mast should not be attached to the boat because there is space on the trailer for it.
Yacht shipping
Generally, yachts weigh at least 40,000 pounds, are 14 feet wide, and stand 14 feet tall. Yacht transport differs slightly from that of smaller vessels.
Because of our company's experience moving large vessels, you can be confident that your boat will be transported efficiently.
Small boat transport
Small boats can be transported on land, on their hulls, on trailers, and even on yacht transport ships.
International Boat Shipping
International shipping procedures are more time-consuming than domestic shipping procedures. It is critical to obtain all required documents to ensure a smooth and quick customs process.
We can walk you through the customs process with the help of our customs experts.
Container Boat Shipping
Boats can be shipped overseas as freight on cargo ships.
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Boat to or from Anaheim, CA?
Boat shipping to and from Anaheim, CA, is influenced by many factors, including:
- Size - Shipping costs are heavily influenced by the size of your boat. The size, length, and weight of the beam determine the price.
- Method of transport and distance - Distance and mode of transportation, such as overland, on a keel, or aquatic, influence shipping prices.

How to Prepare a Boat for Shipping
Ensure your boat has been prepared adequately before handing it over to the shipping company to avoid damage during transit. Most companies will let you prepare your boat on your own, but you will be held responsible for any damage caused by improper preparation. You don't need a lot of background knowledge or technical expertise to prepare your boat.
The following are the critical steps to take when preparing your boat for transit:
- Check that your boat's measurements are correct. More information on measuring your boat can be found on this page.
- The deck anchors should be removed.
- Unplug and secure any alarms, electronic components, or batteries.
- Remove and securely store all propellers, anchors, flagpoles, antennas, electronics, and valuables.
- It is critical to keep cabinets and cabins secure at all times. Make sure that all hatches, windows, and doors are always closed.
- Each tank must be completely empty. Water and fuel should be drained. Fluids from pumps, water systems, and air conditioners should all be drained.
- Linseed oil can be used to protect a wooden boat from drying out, but it is possible that dirt will accumulate on the roads as a result.
