Affordable Jet Ski Shipping Delivery Service
Finding a transport firm that works for you in terms of service and price is essential when shipping a personal watercraft, as it is with shipping any other car. At A-1 Auto Transport, we provide door-to-door jet ski shipping services to any United States or abroad destination. Call us at the number above to learn more about our prices and services for shipping personal watercraft. No matter how many jet skis you need to be shipped, we can handle the job affordably and expertly.
Jet Ski Transportation
These are just a couple of the reasons that many of our customers rely on us to ship their personal watercraft to locations throughout the U.S. and overseas.
- Secure Delivery - Since jet skis are smaller and have delicate parts that could be damaged during shipping, they must be protected throughout the course of delivery. To ensure your jet ski's safety, we guarantee it is securely packed and covered, no matter the shipping distance or destination city.
- Door-to-Door Shipping - One advantage of shipping a jet ski and other types of personal watercraft is that they can be more easily shipped to a direct location. Vehicle carriers that haul only cars or trucks tend to be large and difficult to maneuver on some city streets, sometimes making it difficult to offer accurate door-to-door shipping.
With our dedicated fleet of jet ski carriers, that’s never a problem!
Most jet skis can be picked up and delivered from your specific location. Whether you need your jet ski shipped to Lake Havasu or Australia’s Gold Coast, we’re ready to handle the job with the professionalism and expertise our customers have come to expect.
Jet Ski Shipping Costs To Popular Destinations
Here are some actual prices from recent shipments of jet skis to give you an idea of what type of price range you can expect. These costs reflect a standard to medium-sized jet ski shipped on a single trailer. As you might expect, shipping multiple jet skis costs more, but discounts are available for shipping two or more at once.
- Denver, CO to Phoenix, AZ - $585
- Chicago, IL to San Diego, CA - $973
- New York, NY to Daytona Beach, FL - $653

These numbers are a good guide to give you an idea of what you will pay for shipping a jet ski, but keep in mind that the size and weight of the watercraft is one of the significant factors in determining the cost. For shipments to international locations or outside of the continental U.S., we encourage readers to call us to get the most accurate and current pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a jet ski?
Jet ski shipping usually costs $300 to $800 within the United States. Prices rise with longer routes, multi-unit shipments, enclosed carriers, or heavy stand-up PWCs. Fuel rates, seasonality, and trailer requirements also influence final pricing. For recent averages and per-mile benchmarks, review our car shipping cost guide at car shipping cost guide.
How long does jet ski shipping take?
Most domestic jet ski shipments arrive in 2 to 7 days. Short routes on major highways move faster, while cross-country or rural pickups take longer. Summer PWC demand and winter storms can extend transit time. Carriers follow DOT and FMCSA safety schedules, which include verified inspections before and after loading.
What is the safest way to transport a jet ski?
The safest method is fully secured enclosed or soft-sided transport using four-point tie-downs and a balanced trailer or cradle. This limits road spray, vibration, and buoyancy stress on the hull. For minimal handling, door-to-door loading provides the best protection. Learn more at door-to-door transport guide.
Can I ship a jet ski without its trailer?
Yes. Carriers often move standalone jet skis using padded pallets or custom cradles. The team measures length and center weight to stabilize the hull before tying it down. Shipping without a trailer is common for online purchases and dealer transfers and may add $50 to $150 for extra bracing.
How should I prepare my jet ski for transport?
Remove loose gear, reduce fuel to one-quarter tank, secure the seat, and clean the hull for accurate inspection. If transported on a trailer, check tire pressure and safety chains. For smoother pickup and documented condition, review our pick up and delivery process at pick up and delivery process.
Do jet ski shipping services include insurance?
Yes. Licensed carriers provide cargo insurance that covers the jet ski during loading, transit, and unloading. Limits vary by carrier type and may be higher with enclosed transport. Customers should review the bill of lading and ensure values match FMCSA insurance requirements.
Can I ship a jet ski internationally?
International jet ski transport is available through consolidated containers or roll-on roll-off service. Crating stabilizes the hull and prevents movement during ocean transit. Delivery times generally range from 2 to 6 weeks depending on port schedules and customs processing. Explore worldwide options at international car shipping.
